Product Information

In the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, the main character's mother goes by the name Prospera Mercury. She has sent her daughter, Suletta Mercury, to a piloting school alongside a Gundam named Aerial. a b Short stories: "The Dark King", "The Kaban Project", and "Death of a Silversmith" by Graham McNeil; "The Lightning Tower" by Dan Abnett; "Raven's Flight" by Gav Thorpe (these stories were previously published; "Raven's Flight", a prequel to Book 18, is an adaptation of an original "Horus Heresy Audio Drama", the first such entry in this series). Novellas: "The Crimson Fist" by John French (prepublished as stand-alone e‑book, see French 2012); "The Prince of Crows", an original story by Aaron Dembski‑Bowden. ( Dunn, Kyme & 2012-2, edition notice [p.6(not numbered)], §"Contents"). After this apparent crime by the Thousand Sons and perhaps in small part due to it, the Emperor outlawed the use of psychic powers across the Imperium in the decrees he made at the Council of Nikaea.

Despite nominally covering the same event from different angles, McNeill and Abnett wrote two stylistically very different novels: A Thousand Sons is a classic three act Legion novel, painting a vivid picture of the culture of the Thousand Sons and their almost paradisiacal homeworld. Events build up until the Council of Nikaea, from which point onwards tragedy takes its course, culminating in a final third that is all-out battle for Prospero. Prospero Burns, on the other hand, is, despite its title, mostly not about the Burning of Prospero itself (that happens only at the very end), but mostly a patient exploration of the VIth Legion Space Wolves/Vlka Fenryka through the eyes of an outsider; think The 13th Warrior in space. Both novels are wonderful reads, in my opinion, and are both high on my personal Top Lists of Horus Heresy novels. The added short-stories work mostly as epilogues to the endings of the novels as well as bridges to future stories. Longfang then showed Hawser his own dream: they were hunting together on the stable continent of Asaheim on Fenris, and Hawser was afraid of the wolves. a b In some editions, Book 5 is subtitled The last Phoenix, see Fulgrim: the last phoenix in libraries ( WorldCat catalog).

Twisted: A closer look at the Maloghurst, emissary of the Warmaster Horus as he navigates the changing nature of the XVI Legion where rivalry and personal ambition run rampant, and to contend with a daemonic plot thrown into the bargain, the Twisted is going to have to make alliances with factions more twisted in soul than in body...Imperfect: Fulgrim with the aid of Fabius tries to find the possibility of Ferrus Manus joining Horus, involving regicide, metal gauntlets, clones, an increasing number of homicidal rages, and a secret sequestered in the depths of the Traitor Apothecary's laboratory... Roboute Guilliman, Lion'El Johnson, and Sanguinius have abandoned the Imperium Secundus and make for Terra, bringing the prisoner Konrad Curze along. Doing so, however, requires them to traverse the Ruinstorm, a raging warp storm which makes passage all but impossible. The three primarchs each face their own temptations and trials throughout the journey through warp, both physical and spiritual. Epic, solar-system sized obstacles situated in both realspace and warpspace prevent their passage, and the three legions must work together to overcome each one. The story's climax centers on Chaos Undivided's attempt to turn Sanguinius to their will. The demon lord Madail presents an unthinkable ultimatum to the Angel. In the throes of his temptation, Sanguinius is burdened with foreknowledge which obscures the righteous path, and the final fate of Konrad Curze. Scholes, Sandra (6 March 2013).

The First Heretic details the fall to Chaos of Primarch Lorgar and the 17th Space Marine Legion, the "Word Bearers". Decades before the start of the rebellion they become heretics relative to the Imperial Truth by introducing religious worship. This results in public and humiliating censure of Lorgar and the entire assembled Legion, by the Emperor himself. The despairing Lorgar is subsequently swayed by two of his most trusted lieutenants, who are in secret allegiance with Chaos; eventually both Primarch and Legion covertly embrace (and promote) the Primordial Truth, many years before Horus' corruption. The story is largely told from the point of view of Argel Tal, a Captain of the Word Bearers, who becomes commander of a Chaos- possessed elite Legion unit. It spans several decades, starting 43years before the events on IsstvanV ( Book 5) and concluding around the time the Word Bearers are on their way to assault Calth ( Book 19). [24]

The novels and television series The Expanse use several Shakespearean allusions, including " Caliban" in reference to monstrous human-alien hybrids, and correspondingly "Prospero Station", a research facility that was developing and controlling them.
