Summary
The Siege of Terra Book 1
After years of devastating war, Horus and his forces have arrived at Terra. But before they can set foot on the Throneworld, they must first break the defences of the Sol System.
Powerful fleets and cunning defences bar their path - but can anything hope to halt the advance of the Traitor armada?
Listen to it because:
The final act of the long-running, best-selling series starts here, with a brutal and uncompromising look at the first stage of the Siege of Terra, the war to conquer the solar system. Armies will fall, heroes will rise and legends will be written....
The Story
After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance.
But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences. First and foremost, Horus must challenge the might of the Sol System itself and the many fleets and bulwarks arrayed there.
To gain even a foothold on Terran soil, he must first contend the Solar War. Thus the first stage of the greatest conflict in the history of all mankind begins.

There are plans within plans. I look foreward to the rest of this series, knowing only the end, not the path to it

Well narrated!!
Good, well written story but what really stood out was the superb narration, with an amazing and intuitive range of character voices from Primarch to Daemon to human.

A great start to the siege of terra!
Great story, excellent description of the naval combat, and good pace where you can soak in the details but its not too long that it's a drag

Did not translate to audiobook well
Really a great story and a great performance, but the book itself has too many rapid changes in environment perspective and character and I found myself constantly going back to see if I had not missed or misheard something.
Being able to see the punctuation and layout of the text makes following this narrative a lot easier. I would have enjoyed listening to this much more if I had already read the paper version.
All that having been said, this is an amazing book and Jonathan Keeble does it and the characters incredible justice.
