This is the Imperium of Man at it's brightest everything it was meant to be just at the point where it all starts to go wrong If you could sum up Horus Rising in three words, what would they be? They are my Space Marines.and they shall know no fear.' - The Emperor of Mankind Have fun listening! They shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best them in battle. They will be untouched by plague or disease no sickness shall blight them.
In great armor I shall clad them and with the mightiest weapons shall they be armed. They shall be of iron will and steely sinew. Like clay I shall mold them and in the furnace of war I shall forge them.
'They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Astartes Space Marines: bio-engineered immortal warriors, to fight the foes of the universe till the end of time and reunite the lost branches of humanity throughout space.

Astartes Space Marines were 7-8 feet tall about 150% bigger/ bulkier than humans. And bigger/ bulkier than the Astartes Space Marine they lead. They were intended to be the immortal and superhuman leaders who would command the Emperor's 20 'Astartes' Space Marine Legions and find and reunite the lost branches of humanity throughout space as well as bring all worlds and peoples into compliance, that is under one ruler, the Emperor. Made in his likeness and created for war.
The Primarchs, created by the Emperor, were the 20 genetically-engineered trans-human sons of the Emperor of Mankind. The Emperor of Mankind: A immortal human, given power beyond any being in the universe, by powers beyond space and time, serves as the ruling monarch of the Imperium of Man. In the far distant future mankind has spread across the universe and many branches of humanity have been lost for 1000's of years. There is politics and religion, honor, deception and tragedy in space, but mostly war. War against aliens, orks, demons and more. Even if you do not know anything about the board games, video games and warhammer universe, these are great books and fun reads. I suggest atleast the first 4 audio books to get started, then you can decide from there were to go next, there are a ton of good books in this universe. Great combo, the next few books are also great and even better on audio. Narrated by Toby Longworth, I really like his range of voice and they fit well with all these heroes and heroines. Thank you Black Library for coming to Audible! Dan Abnett is really good at building this universe and character depth. The Heresy Begins! Great Start to A Great Series! It's no exaggeration to say that this is the most entertaining thing I've read in years. I am currently on book 4 and completely addicted to this series. Although I should warn you much of it is very dark and disturbing. It doesn't matter if you played the Warhammer games or even know anything about it, because you will enjoy these books regardless. It's gritty satisfying stuff with great characters and interesting plot twists.
HORUS RISING PDF FREE DOWNLOAD SERIES
If you love military sci-fi, then this series is a must read. However, if I was on a long drive cross country this book would make an excellent companion. No because I wanted to relish it and look forward to a chapter or so per day and the chapters are quiet long. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Longworth's voice is rich, powerful and dynamic enough to make you believe the different characters. What about Toby Longworth’s performance did you like? This is by far the best of this genre I have ever read, and it only gets better in books 2 and 3. I've read a lot of sci-fi and my favorite genre is what is called "military science fiction". What other book might you compare Horus Rising to and why? No because I would rather listen to the next books in the series and there are many of them, although I could certainly enjoy listening to this again and again. Would you listen to Horus Rising again? Why?
