Horus Heresy: Book 2 - False Gods

The Great Crusade is still pushing outward, but the cracks are starting to show. Graham McNeill's False Gods is the chapter where the Horus Heresy stops being a rumour and starts becoming inevitable — the moment the seeds planted in Horus Rising begin to sprout.

What it's about

Following directly from Horus Rising, False Gods sees the Warmaster Horus grievously wounded and exposed to influences that begin to twist his loyalty to the Emperor. McNeill charts the Great Crusade's momentum alongside Horus's fall, building the paranoia and manipulation that will tip him — and half the galaxy with him — into open rebellion.
