![]() ![]() I think it honestly raises real-world questions about deity and theology, which makes it even more interesting to me. The scene in which the Emperor comes and visits the Word Bearers/Ultramarines is absolutely awesome. It doesn’t overly rely upon action to carry its story, nor does it devolve into a series of scenes with people just standing around talking to each other. To start off, I have to say this is certainly among the best of the Horus Heresy books I’ve read so far. ![]() History is a hugely important part of the Horus Heresy books, and in The First Heretic, we get some stunning insights into the background of the Word Bearers Legion. The First Heretic by Aaron Dembski-Bowden Please DO NOT SPOIL later books in the series. There will be SPOILERS from the books discussed as well as previous books in the series. I’m reading the series in publication order unless otherwise noted. With more than 50 novels and many, many short stories, there will be a lot of posts in this series (I doubt I’ll get to all the short stories). I thought it would be awesome to blog the series as I go. I know I’m late to the party, but I finally decided to start reading the “Horus Heresy,” a huge series of novels set in the universe of Warhammer 40,000 (though it is set much earlier than the year 40,000). ![]()
