About this deal

This novella is snappy, well-paced and has some cracking duels and wraps up one of the Heresy’s longest-running arcs quite nicely.

Having followed Nathaniel Garro from the early days of the Heresy, through his journey reaching Terra and his faith. Always loyal to the throne, always ready to do what is required, Nathaniel Garro, dismissed from the Malcadore's service, is roaming the battlefields of Terra and assisting where required.Then contact your credit card company, it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. For Warhammer 40,000, he is best known for his four Blood Angels novels, the audio drama Heart of Rage, and his two Sisters of Battle novels. Ah Garro a fan favourite, have to say though this release obviously traded on that - the Siege of Terra series has been exemplary, rounding out the long and uneven Heresy series.

I might even go so far as to say this one might have become one of my favorite tales from the Horus Heresy saga. It brings the storyline of one of the heroes of the Horus Heresy to a close, and it did so in a very satisfying way. From the brutal betrayal at Isstvan to the desperate flight of the Eisenstein, through his missions as Malcador the Sigillite's Agentia Primus, Garro's path has drawn him inexorably towards a destiny that can only end in bloodshed.Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. Garro was a very deep character who had evolved through his stories overshadowing everyone but maybe Sigismund. The characters were nowhere near the location in this book, and Keeler wouldn't be with the same companions.

From the brutal betrayal at Isstvan to the desperate flight of the Eisenstein, through his missions as Malcador the Sigillite’s Agentia Primus, Garro’s path has drawn him inexorably towards a destiny that can only end in bloodshed. However, this didn't stop me from enjoying this well written story and once again, feeling the emotion on every page. From the brutal betrayal at Isstvan to the desperate flight of the Eisenstein, through his missions as Malcador the Sigillite's Agentia Primus, Garro's path has drawn him inexorably toward a destiny that can only end in bloodshed. As he struggles to protect Euphrati Keeler, the first Saint of the Imperial Church, from the horrors of this titanic war, Garro must face his greatest enemy - his father, Mortarion, his former master and the monstrous liege-lord of the traitorous Death Guard - in a final shattering confrontation. As he struggles to protect Euphrati Keeler, the first Saint of the Imperial Church, from the horrors of this titanic war, Garro must face his greatest enemy – his father, Mortarion, his former master, and the monstrous liege-lord of the traitorous Death Guard – in a final, shattering confrontation.Everything comes full circle for Garro here - including a reunion with his gene-father Mortarion and the obligatory flashbacks to fill in some of the blanks surrounding their pre-rebellion relationship.

You could easily argue that, had the events of the Flight of the Eisenstein not happened all those years ago, Horus' plot would have succeeded and the traitor legions would have marched on to an easy victory. I appreciated him being able to talk briefly to Mortarion and putting a bow on the events of Isstvan. The shorter format helped keep me engaged the whole time, with the focus of the story kept on Garro. As the epic battle for Terra rages and the future of mankind hangs in the balance, former Knight Errant Nathaniel Garro fights among the ashes and fire of the embattled Imperial Palace as the shadow of Horus Lupercal’s triumph looms. James Swallow doesn't disappoint, although there are considerable issues that shouldn't have been overlooked.The ending hits hard, and I really think that you ought to read this story if you have been following along with his story.
