Horus Rising (The Horus Heresy) by Dan Abnett

4.7/5

Horus Rising is the first novel in the 54-book Horus Heresy series, published by Games Workshop's Black Library imprint. Written by Dan Abnett, it chronicles the early 31st millennium during the Great Crusade, centering on Horus Lupercal — Primarch of the Luna Wolves Legion and the Emperor's most favored son — as he is elevated to the rank of Warmaster and the first tremors of rebellion begin to surface. The novel is the foundational entry point for one of science fantasy fiction's most ambitious shared-universe series, and one that Wikipedia's reception overview describes as having earned critical approval and frequent bestseller list appearances across its run.
