Description
? Book 52 of the much loved and hugely popular Horus Heresy series. An awesome collection of sixteen short stories, including several set just before the Siege of Terra begins…
A galaxy burns and brother turns on brother as the conflict brought about by a beloved son’s betrayal reaches its fateful end. The Warmaster Horus has triumphed. His massive fleet at last nears Terra and the patriarchal Throne of his hated father. Many have fallen to bring this moment about, their tales are the ashes upon which the Heresy was born and prospered. Others have played their own small parts, drops in an ocean of war and blood. None of it matters. Terra looks to the skies as it raises its defences. Armies muster, heroes raise their swords, citizens cower. The war is coming. And nothing can stop it.
This anthology includes sixteen stories set during the Horus Heresy, some of which are in print for the first time or were originally released as audio dramas, by authors Gav Thorpe, Chris Wraight, John French, James Swallow, Guy Haley, Nick Kyme, Rob Sanders and Anthony Reynolds.

Heralds of the Siege is a great collection of short stories, each diving into a different legion or faction within the Horus Heresy timeframe. Fleshing out that time period seems like it has endless possabilities, and the authors really explored what was going on before the Siege of Terra ramped up. I will admit to bouncing between the book and the internet; I'd finish a story, and then, interest peaked, have to go dive into a character or faction that I didn't know as much about. Heralds of the Siege did a great job of expanding my WH30k understanding and interests, and I look forward to continuing within the Horus Heresy series.

Heralds of the Siege is a short story collection done by some of the most well known authors of the setting. Being so late in the Horus Heresy series it covers a wide range of topics and vantage points that one can get a bit lost in if not clued up on all the current events. Some stories also lead up to the actual Siege of Terra happenings that is part of a different series. Non of the stories are bad, just a word of caution to not pick this up with no prior knowledge of what has gone before. I thank Black Library and Net Galley for giving me a chance to read this ARC.

An excellent collection of Horus Heresy short fiction. Many of these I'd read before, but it was nice to revisit them in the context of the series as a whole and further reading.
The Horus Heresy series remains one of the most impressive, large-scale shared-universe SF stories ever told. Very highly recommended.
