The first installment of the Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra miniseries from the Warhammer 40K universe. Book in English.
Explore the final stages of the New York Times Bestselling Series The Horus Heresy in this fantastic miniseries, a must have for all fans! After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster's sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father's rule. Horus' desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos, and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences. First and foremost, Horus must challenge the might of the Sol System itself and the many fleets and bulwarks arrayed there. To gain even a foothold on Terran soil, he must first contend the Solar War. Thus the first stage of the greatest conflict in the history of all mankind begins.

The first book of the Siege of Terra saga kicks off the final act of the Horus Heresy in style. John French masterfully depicts massive space battles as Horus's traitor fleet reaches the Solar System and the defenders of the Imperium desperately fight to hold the gate to Terra. The story is epic, clearly written, and deeply personal – it shows not just strategy and sacrifice, but also the helplessness and courage of those who know they might not survive to see the end. The pacing is slower at times, but the atmosphere of a fateful clash is brilliant. A powerful and worthy start to the final battle for humanity.
První kniha ságy Siege of Terra otevírá závěrečné dějství Horovy hereze ve velkém stylu. John French precizně popisuje obrovské vesmírné střety, kdy Horovo zrádné loďstvo doráží k Solární soustavě a obránci Impéria se zoufale snaží udržet bránu k Zemi. Příběh je epický, přehledně napsaný a zároveň osobní – ukazuje nejen strategii a oběti, ale i bezmoc a odvahu těch, kteří ví, že konce se možná nedožijí. Místy je tempo pomalejší, ale atmosféra osudového střetu je skvělá. Silný a důstojný začátek finální bitvy o lidstvo.
