Once the brightest star in the Imperium and always first among his primarch brothers, Horus has dragged the Space Marine Legions into the bloodiest conflict that the galaxy has ever seen. While their allies wage war on a thousand different fronts, the XVIth Legion descend upon the Knight world of Molech - home to the ruling House Devine, and a principle stronghold of the Imperial Army.

The Great Crusade that has taken humanity into the stars continues. The Emperor of Mankind has handed the reins of command to his favoured son, the Warmaster Horus. Yet all is not well in the armies of the Imperium. Horus is still battling against the jealousy and resentment of his brother primarchs, and when he is injured in combat on the planet Davin, he must also battle his inner daemon. With all the temptations that Chaos has to offer, can the weakened Horus resist?

Under the command of the newly appointed Warmaster Horus, the Great Crusade continues. Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children, leads his warriors into battle against a vile alien foe, unaware of the darker forces that have already set their sights upon the Imperium of Man. Loyalties are tested and every murderous whim indulged as the Emperor's Children take their first steps down the road to true corruption - a road that will ultimately lead them to the killing fields of Isstvan V....

When Horus the Warmaster rebelled against the Emperor, the ensuing civil war nearly destroyed the Imperium. War raged across galaxy, pitting Astartes against their battle-brothers in a struggle where death was the only victor. But long before that, the Legions struggled with their identities and the demands of the Great Crusade. From battles with alien invaders to conflicts within a Legion, and even dealing with a wayward primarch, these stories show the battles fought as the Great Crusade draws to a close and the Horus Heresy begins....

Lord of the mystical and uncanny, Magnus the Red has long studied the ancient crafts of sorcery. A psyker without peer, save only for the Emperor himself, he commands his loyal followers of the Thousand Sons Legion in the Great Crusade, though also vigilant for any lost knowledge they might recover from the remains of dead human civilisations.

Censured at the Council of Nikaea 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.

The Thousand Sons have thrown in their lot with the traitor Horus, and Terra awaits them. Their appointed task shall be to break the psychic defences around the Imperial Palace - but not even Magnus the Red has the magical might to defy the Emperor's will so brazenly. He needs a weapon. Amidst the ruins of the city of Tizca lies what he needs, the legacy of a world long dead and a war that brings shame to the Crimson King. Now, he and his favoured son Ahriman seek that weapon - and Ahriman will also have answers to questions he didn't even know need asked....

La galaxie s'embrase. Les Primarques loyaux à l'Empereur se préparent à affronter le Maître de Guerre Horus et ses légions renégates sur les sables noirs d'Istvaan V. Lorsque l'astropathe Kaï Zulane se retrouve dépositaire d'un secret menaçant de faire basculer l'équilibre du conflit, il lui faut prendre la fuite. Aux côtés d'une mystérieuse bande de renégats, il plonge dans les bas-fonds meurtriers de Terra elle-même, traqué tel un criminel par ceux à qui il faisait autrefois confiance.

After the betrayal at Isstvan, Horus begins his campaign against the Emperor, a galaxy-wide war that can lead only to Terra. But the road to the final confrontation between father and son is a long one - seven years filled with secrecy and silence, plans and foundations being formed across distant stars. An unknown history is about to be unveiled as light is shed on the darkest years of the Horus Heresy, and revelations will surface that will shake the Imperium to its very foundation....

The Rise of the West is famous for its ambitious scope and intellectual rigor. In it, McNeill challenges the Spengler-Toynbee view that a number of separate civilizations pursued essentially independent careers, and argues instead that human cultures interacted at every stage of their history. The author suggests that, from the Neolithic beginnings of grain agriculture to the present, major social changes in all parts of the world were triggered by new or newly important foreign stimuli, and he presents a persuasive narrative of world history to support this claim.

Sixty-thousand light-years from Earth, the corrupt Terran Confederacy holds the Koprulu sector tightly in its tyrannical grip, controlling every aspect of its citizens' lives. One man dares to stand up to this faceless empire and vows to bring it to its knees: Arcturus Mengsk - genius propagandist, tactician, and freedom fighter. A monstrous act of bloody violence sows the seeds of rebellion in Arcturus, but he is not the first Mengsk to rail against such oppression. Before Arcturus grew to manhood, his father, Angus Mengsk, also defied the Confederacy and sought to end its reign.

Von rachsüchtigen Eldar verfolgt, stößt Magos Kotovs Exploratorenarmada in ein neuentdecktes Gebiet des Weltraums vor, um dessen uralte Geheimmnisse zu erkunden. Während die Streitkräfte des Adeptus Mechanicus und der Space Marines der Black Templars die zwiefache Bedrohnung aus zornigen Xenos und Meuterei an Bord der Flotte bekämpfen, offenbart sich eine noch größere Gefahr...

Die Legende erzählt von einer törichten Expedition unter Führung des radikalen Magos Telok, die in den unerforschten Raum jenseits der Halowelten auszog, um den 'Atem der Götter' zu finden, eine arkane Vorrichtung mit der Macht, Sterne auszulöschen oder umzuformen. Tausende von Jahren später versammelt der ehrgeizige Lexell Kotov eine Exploratorflotte des Adeptus Mechanicus und macht sich auf, den Spuren des verrückten alten Telok zu folgen.

La Grande Croisade est à son apogée, et les Thousand Sons sont parmi ses guerriers les plus dévoués. Bien que hautement loyale, la légion de Magnus le Rouge est considérée avec méfiance pour ses pratiques arcaniques : craint par l'Imperium qu'il a juré de servir, le primarque est appelé sur la planète Nikaea pour répondre d'accusations de sorcellerie. Accablé par le sort, Magnus prophétise la trahison du Maître de Guerre, et avertit l'Empereur en faisant usage de ses pouvoirs interdits, poussant alors le Seigneur de l'Humanité à envoyer Leman Russ, primarque des Space Wolves, attaquer Prospero.

In this magnificent synthesis of military, technological, and social history, William H. McNeill explores a whole millennium of human upheaval and traces the path by which we have arrived at the frightening dilemmas that now confront us. McNeill moves with equal mastery from the crossbow - banned by the Church in 1139 as too lethal for Christians to use against one another - to the nuclear missile, from the sociological consequences of drill in the 17th century to the emergence of the military-industrial complex in the 20th.

Newly promoted to the captaincy of the Ultramarines Fourth Company, Uriel Ventris leads his warriors to the world of Pavonis, where vicious alien raiders are bringing death and destruction. As Pavonis descends into political turmoil, Uriel and his warriors must battle the xenos as they unravel a plot to unleash an ancient evil buried deep beneath the world - the mysterious and deadly Nightbringer.

Dans le sang de cette campagne pousseront les graines qui mèneront cette fière légion à la trahison, et lui feront emprunter les voies de la corruption la plus sombre.
