It is the 31st millennium, and humanity is at the peak of its powers. As the Great Crusade, led by Warmaster Horus, continues to conquer the galaxy, Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor’s Children, leads his warriors into battle against a vile alien foe. From the blood of this campaign are sown the seeds that will lead this proud Legion to treachery, taking them down the darkest of paths of corruption. Leading up to the carnage of the Dropsite Massacre on Isstvan V, this is the tale of Fulgrim's tragic fall from grace.

Reviews with the most likes.
Not quite as compelling as the previous 4 in the series, but it does set the stage for the rest of the heresy.
hard work
After the brilliance of the first 4 books, this was a slog. 500 pages, and only the last 80 or so really got going.
It's not dreadful, but where I read the first 4 in a couple of days each, this took me more than two weeks to wade through.
