#LIST OF HORUS HERESY NOVELS IN ORDER SERIES#

While the Emperor was overall commander of the Crusade's expeditions to the stars, the Space Marine Legions and the rest of the Imperial military forces eventually came to be led by his genetically-engineered progeny, a group of twenty so-called Template:Em who were in every aspect even mightier than Space Marines. Promoting the notions of Order and Truth from a strictly human perspective as put forth by the Emperor, the Imperium declared the Milky Way to be the exclusive, rightful domain of Humankind, and a part of its Manifest Destiny. The objective was to unify the millions of human colonies scattered throughout the galaxy under an Template:Em of science and reason, and against religion and superstitionВ вЂ“ by extension weakening the influence of Chaos on the human race and the race's evolution. After consolidating his rule on Terra (Earth), and genetically engineering Legions of superhuman warriors (the Space Marines) he embarked early in the 31st millennium on a Template:Em.

#LIST OF HORUS HERESY NOVELS IN ORDER SERIES#

Galaxy in Flames, Horus Rising, Flight of the Eisenstein, and False Gods still hold the mark of the best novels in the series so far.In the developing Warhammer Template:Spaces40,000 back-story, by the 30th Template:Spacesmillennium the Emperor of Mankind, founder and head of the newly constituted Imperium of Man, had become a major proponent of Order in the Milky Way, and one of the most formidable enemies of Chaos and its forces. The Word Bearers story was a waste and the World Eaters story really needed its own novel. It wasn't edge of your seat like Galaxy in Flames or the other two of the first three, but it did illustrate some aspects. For that matter, there is no need to read Titanicus if you've read this one. Another one that really felt more like it was current timeline 40k. Mechanicum wasn't too bad, but again, it read like a Gaunt's Ghosts series novel. It read like a 40k novel, not like a 30k novel. If I wanted to read fantasy I would have and with 98% of the book about horses and knights, it was disappointing.Д«attle for the Abyss was just strange. Yeah, Abnett-fanboys will grouse, but being objective, it just was nowhere near as ironclad as his earlier work.Дescent of Angels, I agree, wasn't bad, but just wasn't very gripping. It read like a short story expanded to fill a novel. People have pointed out Abnett was following a different formula, but I thought it was terribly boring and the characters two dimensional. Legion I found terribly predictable and plodding suffering from a lack of real editing. I listed the novels in order of release in case you are interested in jumping into the series (if you haven't already).

More are coming out and there is no limit supposedly to how many books they will release for the Horus Heresy. Other then that there is not much to say as a at a glimpse type of thing. So if your not into the Imperium really then the series may not be for you. They are focused on the Imperium and primarily the Space Marine Legions with a few exceptions. There not works of gold or anything but just really enjoyable if your into the heresy. They are based around the Heresy time period which I am a huge fan of so it is no surprise that I love these book. The rest are novels.ДЄlright so there novels based in the 40k universe obviously. Those are the 10 the Tales of Heresy is a short story book with 7 stories in it. So there are 10 total books so far as of the day of this posting: Now I'm not going to rate them or review them just list the ones out currently as of the date of this posting. Hey all just a quick post on the Horus Heresy novels.
