Narration Toward Books A Thousand Sons (The Horus Heresy #12)
Censured at the Council of Nikea for his flagrant use of sorcery, Magnus the Red and his Thousand Sons Legion retreat to their homeworld of Prospero to continue their use of the arcane arts in secret. But when the ill-fated primarch forsees the treachery of Warmaster Horus and warns the Emperor with the very powers he was forbidden to use, the Master of Mankind dispatches fellow primarch Leman Russ to attack Prospero itself. But Magnus has seen more than the betrayal of Horus and the witnessed revelations will change the fate of his fallen Legion, and its primarch, forever.

The following review was originally published in the online newspaper The Orkney News in April 2020. Link here. https://theorkneynews.scot/2020/04/19...A Thousand Sons by Graham McNeil Warhammer: The Horus Heresy Book 12Nephrites Month Of HeresiesAll is dust.So here we are at our final destination within the Warp. For the present at least. We have arrived on Prospero the home planet of the 15th Legion The Thousand Sons and their Primarch Magnus The Red otherwise known as The Crimson King. We"Gut wrenching" and "Insane" describe this book for me. It's so awesome and awful at the same time. An AMAZING book, but you'd better be really prepared. It's like "OMGSH! Why must they be so screwed in every possible way chaos can invent." And in the end you seriously wish they'd all died and be spared such a horribly extensive fate. Oh what a roller coaster! Fulgrim was still worse though(as in sadder), don't worry. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO LOVE MAGNUS AND THE THOUSAND SONS SOOOOOOO MUCH!?!?!?
Good read. They captured the actual fall of Prospero very satisfactorily. Taking a literary break from the Horus Heresy and then I'll tackle "Prospero Burns".
This was a blast of a re-read! Totally forgot the Cthulhu Mythos references to the Pnakotic Manuscripts and "Mad Alhazred", but the best one was the vision about the Dawn of War videogame series Blood Ravens!The tragic tale about Magnus the Red and his Thousand Sons fall is still my most favourite one Horus Heresy tale.The last hundred pages with the Space Wolves assault and the razing of Prospero were a real page turner.Just a shame Mcneill messed continuity later with "The Outcast Dead" but
The most misunderstood of the legions, A Thousand Sons provides an excellent tale of brotherhood and betrayal who showcase truly awesome feats of power. Definitely more human-like Astartes in the Sons, much to McNeill's credit. Their pursuit of knowledge and its preservation has me conflicted in my feelings for the Space Wolves, who are among my favorites, who seek to destroy it utterly. Favorite of the Heresy series so far.
After the last few duds in the series, A Thousand Sons provides a strong comeback for the series. The richness of the Horus Heresy history flows through this book as we're treated to both the Coronation of Horus at Ullinor and the Council of Nikaea. Unlike the Dark Angels books where we're only told of their Primarch from afar, in this book we not only have Magnus, the Primarch of the Thousand Sons, but also plenty of scenes with the Emperor, Lehman Russ and also minor appearances of other
Wow, what a F'ing story. This is some Bill Shakespeare up in this shit! A fantastically entertaining blend of about forty different genres, this book is one of the better Horus Heresy novels I've read, and I'm twelve deep now. I know I've dug pretty much every Warhammer 40K book I've read but this one is just that much better than those other ones, it's bigger and more complex than most of them and does a very decent job at emotion instigation as evidenced by heartbreak and disappointment as
