Although I should warn you much of it is very dark and disturbing.
It doesn't matter if you played the Warhammer games or even know anything about it, because you will enjoy these books regardless. It's gritty satisfying stuff with great characters and interesting plot twists. If you love military sci-fi, then this series is a must read. However, if I was on a long drive cross country this book would make an excellent companion. No because I wanted to relish it and look forward to a chapter or so per day and the chapters are quiet long. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Longworth's voice is rich, powerful and dynamic enough to make you believe the different characters. What about Toby Longworth’s performance did you like? This is by far the best of this genre I have ever read, and it only gets better in books 2 and 3. I've read a lot of sci-fi and my favorite genre is what is called 'military science fiction'.
What other book might you compare Horus Rising to and why? No because I would rather listen to the next books in the series and there are many of them, although I could certainly enjoy listening to this again and again. Would you listen to Horus Rising again? Why?
