Shattered Legions

The Horus Heresy, Book 43

By: Dan Abnett, Chris Wraight, David Annandale, Gav Thorpe, Graham McNeill, John French, Nick Kyme, Guy Haley

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

Driven almost to the brink of self-destruction at Isstvan V, the Iron Hands now seek vengeance for the murder of their primarch Ferrus Manus.

Gathering survivors from the Raven Guard and the Salamanders aboard any vessels capable of warp travel, these Shattered Legions wage a new campaign of annihilation against the traitor forces across the galaxy - a campaign masterminded by legendary warleader Shadrak Meduson.

This Horus Heresy anthology contains 10 short stories by authors including Dan Abnett, Chris Wraight, John French and many more. Also, in the The Seventh Serpent, Graham McNeill revisits the ragtag crew of the starship Sisypheum as they are drawn into a war of subterfuge against the Alpha Legion.

The last story was the best

Great book for iron hands fans but the end was a great way to finish it for filling in gaps

All good 'cept the SHOUTING!

Good & varied stories in the Warhammer 40,000 Horus Heresy universe. The anthology books in the series are greatly underappreciated.

Only prob was one of the narrator's tending to lostsa shouting of the lines. I get they're exclamations, heat of the battle stuff but makes it really hard to listen to when I'm going to sleep. Can't imagine listening on headphones...

It’s like red dawn but in space.

It was fun. But it’s not essential for your overall completion of the HH. Some of the stories drag on for far too long or shouldn’t be there at all.

felt too scattered. good stories, lacked focus

the stories individually made for a good read. great backstory post istvan but did not gel well

Becomes a bit of a slog

I'm glad we can get so many different conflicts to life without each being a 15-hour listen, but some of these short stories started to blend into the last one and the next. Tensions, justifications, and character development felt too similar between some of the stories. But, the action is great, and I enjoyed listening watching some of these iconic characters make their impact.
