Let's Read the Horus Heresy 29: Eye of Terra

‘I was there,’ he would say, right up until the day he died, after which he spoke only infrequently.

 - The Wolf of Ash and Fire, Graham McNeill, in The Horus Heresy: Eye of Terra

It's another anthology! One that starts with Graham McNeill echoing the beginning of Horus Rising, in a somewhat forgettable story about the acrual Emperor himself. After what I said about anthologies previously, you may wonder why I'm reading this at all. It's because of Aaron Dembski-Bowden's Aurelian, which is worth the price of admission on its own. It's followed by another Dembski-Bowden story, Massacre, a Night Lords vignette I also liked, and later on he takes us along on another section of Sevatar's journey.

My main complaint with the Night Lords stuff is that I'm already collecting enough legions and don't need to start taking a liking to them as well. Speaking of which, Matthew Farrer's Vorax made me want to buy more Mechanicum robots. I also enjoyed John French's Eagle's Talon, and Iron Corpses by David Annandale.

So yeah, this was an anthology with some pretty good stories in it.
