Meer over het boek

The second omnibus of the Horus Heresy delves into the journey of Fulgrim, the primarch of the Emperor’s Children, as he succumbs to the temptations of Chaos. While he was present at the onset of the Warmaster's rebellion, he did not engage in the battle at Isstvan III, instead embarking on a path of personal damnation. This collection explores Fulgrim's betrayal and the scars left on both allies and enemies among his superhuman brethren. As the Space Marine Legions clash, the flawed primarchs pursue their own ambitions under Horus’s new regime. Fulgrim, driven by a desire to outshine his brothers, descends into a depth of treachery in his quest for power. The narrative reveals that in strength lies weakness, and in beauty, horror. This omnibus chronicles the fall of the III Legion to Chaos, featuring the novels "Fulgrim" and "Angel Exterminatus," which detail Fulgrim’s corruption, alongside tales like "The Crimson Fist" and "The Reflection Crack’d" that showcase the impacts of his damnation. This paperback edition includes two full novels by Graham McNeill, two novellas, and various short stories, offering a comprehensive account of Slaanesh's greatest conquest and its ramifications on those around him as the war unfolds.
