Echoes of Eternity (Volume 7) (The Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra)

Product Information

Retreat turned to rout, and rout soon turned to bloodbath; thousands upon thousands of Traitor Space Marines and Titans fell attempting to flee. The ground before the Sanctum Imperialis ran red with the blood of Traitors and Heretics. The Warmaster Horus aboard his ship, the Vengeful Spirit, directing the Traitor Legions during the Siege of Terra Sensing this, and knowing that he must complete the siege before the arrival of Loyalist reinforcements from the other Space Marine Legions that were already on their way, Horus prepared to teleport to the surface from his flagship, the Vengeful Spirit, to lead his forces in person. The myriad battles of the Siege of Terra series are pulling into a taut weave of tension, horror, and certain doom. Just when you thought it was bad, it gets worse. Soon the mighty Bloodthirster Greater Daemon Ka'bandha came forth and bellowed out a challenge to Sanguinius in the name of his master Khorne. The daemon hurled itself at the Angel of Baal, barely allowing him time to parry the daemon's strikes.

Instead, the Word Bearers still loyal to the Warmaster are led to Terra by the Dark Apostle Zardu Layak. I The Solar War • II The Lost and the Damned • III The First Wall • Sons of the Selenar • IV Saturnine • Fury of Magnus • V Mortis • VI Warhawk • VII Echoes of Eternity • Garro: Knight of Grey • VIII The End and the Death ( Volume I • Volume II • Volume III) The exact identity of the brave warrior is a source of much debate amongst Imperial historians, for today only the Emperor knows the truth. The Adeptus Ministorum tell the story that it was a lone Imperial Army trooper named Ollanius Pius who held the line, going as far as to canonise the man as the Guardian Saint of the Astra Militarum in the 32 nd Millennium, yet many doubt that mere humans would have accompanied the Emperor and His Primarchs to confront Horus. Meanwhile, in the Signus Cluster, the Blood Angels, granted new and terrible power by a mysterious mass rage (that would resurface again during the Siege of Terra) had triumphed, smashed the hordes of the Chaos daemons asunder at the Battle of Signus Prime and were able to make the Warp jump to Terra following the dissolution of the Ruinstorm in the wake of the Second Battle of Davin.

Just before Horus died, he looked his father in the eye, shedding a single tear, begging his father to forgive him for his betrayal. With the spaceports secured, Horus' remaining troops of the Traitor Legions and their mortal auxilia and Dark Mechanicum support forces landed en masse, and the hulking transports carried thousands of troops each as well as bringing to the battlefield the terrible Chaos Titans that served the Warmaster's cause and had been possessed by the daemonic entities of Chaos.

They met stiff resistance from the Loyalists as the Imperial defenders knew that the survival of the Imperium Throneworld, their Emperor, and the entirety of humanity rested on their shoulders. The Emperor of Mankind rose to the challenge, leading his elite personal guard, the Adeptus Custodes, the Primarchs Sanguinius and Rogal Dorn, and several companies of Imperial Fists and Blood Angels Veteran Space Marines in the assault and teleported aboard the Vengeful Spirit.

When the Emperor of Mankind finally entered the throne room of the Vengeful Spirit, He saw the winged corpse of the angelic Sanguinius lying at Horus' feet. There’s no substitute for experiencing the Siege of Terra series yourself because it’s a tale of such epic proportions, but before we reveal the final chapter in this story, let’s briefly catch up on the story so far. Esha Ani Mohana Vi – Grand Master, the Great Mother of the Imperial Hunters, Princeps of Luxor Invictoria It was then that the Emperor whispered instructions to Dorn, urging the Imperial Fists' Primarch to take Him to the device known as the Golden Throne in the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace.There was a conscious choice to dial down the scale, to get more intimate,” explains Aaron. “We’ve had global conflict in several books now, so with Echoes of Eternity , the focus lasered in on what it was like to be part of the long retreat to the Delphic Battlement – the very battlements of the Sanctum Imperialis.” Horus called the Emperor foolish for refusing the power that the Chaos Gods offered to men, and timid for not taming them to his will if He was truly the Master of Mankind as he claimed. Horus proclaimed that if the Emperor would kneel before him, then he would spare His life.
