As someone who is very interested in lore behind the Grey Knights, this was a fantastic read. The book really delves deep into the emotional and moral struggles that Battle Captain Harrow had to go through during the beginning of the heresy.
I read this via audiobook, it was fantastically narrated and voice acted all the way through.

Has a somewhat rocky start but grows into its own once it enters the story properly. Really cool seeing the events of the previous books told from a new perspective.

Have forgotten to include all of the books of this series, which I read fairly nonstop for a couple months in high school. I remember well finding this one and Fulgrim the most exciting of the bunch, and I tuned out after eleven or twelve of the novels, which started feeling too similar (even as they started to strive extra hard to be dissimilar)

Story of group of Space Marines fighting to survive the treacherous Warp on their way to Earth in order to warn the Emperor of impeding Horus' betrayal.
Being the only survivors that managed to escape from Istvaan system they have to fight their own battle brothers (now traitors) both in space and with guns in hands, suffer the rage of Primarch when they inform him of situation and finally be put under scrutiny of Ordo Xenos when they reach Earth - everybody wandering can they be trusted.
But from them new valiant orders (Inquisition or maybe Grey Knights) will rise to fight the creatures from Warp.
Interesting story, good characters.
Recommended.
