He jumps all over time-wise, he gives you tons of info then walks you back filling in how you got there, his dialogue is heroic You get not only an excellent and tragic story from ADB here, but also a lot of insight and straight-up explanations into the hows and whys Chaos does what it does. Dembski-Bowden is obviously a mature and self-assured writer and this shows in the way he structures and presents his story lines, never resorting to the generic, formulaic, three-act, ABC, here ya go style. You get not only an excellent and tragic story from ADB here, but also a lot of insight and straight-up explanations into the hows and whys Chaos does what it does. By the end you almost begin to like Custodians. Also personally this was one of the most creepy Horus Heresy novels I've read.Īll the demon stuff and the extensive lies that had to be told, the double crossing and betrayals. This book was filled with wonderful details of Lorgar's character, it was a very unique experience to get into a primarchs mind and see how he thinks. Really, what kind of dipwad does that and expects his kid to be a better guy from it? *facepalm* So the Emperor of Mankind didn't like this, so instead of manning up and acting like a parent and going to spend sometime with his son and explain to him that he never should worship him he decided using his amazing intellect to set his sons against each other and ordered the Ultramorons and Robert Girlyman to totally destroy Lorgar's favorite city on his home world, Monarchia. (Which they need to wait about 60 years before its accepted as normal to worship him.) Well actually they weren't over zealous they flat out worshiped the Emperor as a god. The opening of the book is the discipline of the Word Bearers for there over zealous nature. It was Lorgar and the Word Bearers, who had to wait for the time to be right because no one but me likes them enough to follow them into heresy. It is really cool to see that the first heretic wasn't actually the Horus and the Luna Wolves. I'd put it aside Horus Rising, (which takes a lot for me to say) the tale of the Word Bearers was so tragic. Honestly, it is one of the best heresy books. I am sorry I judged Aaron D-B on Helsreach, The First Heretic was amazing. The story really interested me however and I bought the book. So to say I was excited when I found out Aaron was the writer for this book would be a lie, I was mad.

By far not his best book and also.I've lately come to realize I really hate the Black Templers. My first experience with Aaron Dembski-Bowden was Helsreach. I am sorry I judged Aaron D-B on Helsreach, The Fi Well all the other teenage girls where worshiping Twilight, I was on a Pilgrimage with the Word Bearers to find the true gods. Well all the other teenage girls where worshiping Twilight, I was on a Pilgrimage with the Word Bearers to find the true gods. Unbeknownst to the Word Bearers, their quest for truth contains the very roots of heresy…. Having set out to illuminate the Imperium, the corruption of Chaos takes hold and their path to damnation begins. Their search for a new purpose leads them to the edge of the material universe, where they meet ancient forces far more powerful than they could have imagined. Distraught at this judgement, Lorgar and his Legion seek another path while devastating world after world, venting their fury and fervour on the battlefield.
