Book Two of the Horus Heresy - A Warhammer 40,000 milestone

The Great Crusade presses onward as humanity expands to the stars under the Emperor's grand design.

When Horus is grievously wounded on the plague-ridden world of Davin, the galaxy's greatest general must confront not only the ambitions of others, but the darkness within himself. Tempted by the insidious promises of Chaos, Horus faces a choice that could unmake everything the Emperor has forged. Written by Graham McNeill, this pivotal chapter sows the first true seeds of betrayal and exposes unsettling truths about the universe of Warhammer 40,000.
