Ben Counter benefits from Graham McNeill forcing things a little too quickly in that he can now operate with carte blanche as far Horus being the big nasty is concerned. So, Horus now being entirely evil, I have decided not to let that negativity mar my review of the third book. You had Horus’ fall from grace just happen with very little coaxing. The thing that made it bad was that the second book was not. The first book was very slow burn which, in and of itself, was no bad thing. The main problem with the Horus Heresy up until this point has been pacing. My Rating of ‘Galaxy in Flames: 5 out of 5 An unprecedented alliance between the Sons of Horus, Death Guard, World Eaters and Emperor’ Children Legions seems more than capable of overwhelming the paltry mortal defences – indeed, such a display of force seems unneccesary? Putting their own concerns aside, Garviel Loken and his loyal kinsmen lead their companies to the surface only to learn the full, horrifying truth, and the legendary war known as the Horus Heresy begins with the most foul act of betrayal imaginable… Having made a miraculous recovery from the grevious injuries he suffered on Davin, Warmaster Horus now leads the triumphant Imperial forces against the rebel world of Isstvan III.
