Review: …..the more you’ve been paying attention. With the title “Mortis” a lot of expectation for this book was that it’d be Titans , Titans and more Titans. They’re in here a lot but as an aside to the build up to the final stage of the siege. Horus forces are finally able to deploy Titans now that they control the space ports , leaving Dorn few options to counter them. As Legio Mortis Warmaster Titans close on the wall an unexpected new force enters the battlefield. Speaking of new forces , without direct spoilers, the legion that showed up in book 4 makes a direct attack on the Chaos held Astronomicon facility with a suicidal air assault , aiming to relight the beacon. Success means the Ultramarine retribution fleet will reach Terra faster. Against the back drop of the war he reader is shown more about life going on within the palace as law and order break down and sheer hopelessness is replaced by crazy outbreaks of violence. As ever, there’s a plan to bring hope to the regular humans but it means going against what the Imperium stands for. Nobody expects the Inquisition….. because it doesn’t exist yet ? Finally Ol Pearson’s band close in on their final destination , a Chaos infested hive aside giving the reader greater insight to the Emperor’s early days and linking in to the Eisenhorn/Ravenor series with a discovery. Each of the three sections in the book is prefaced with a warp based symbolic interlude as the Emperor holds the broken webway psychic gate shut whilst Horus looks on, confident of victory. As the book draws to a close the defenders are outmatched with the last hopes they had defeated. The Emperor struggling. New allies betrayed. Have faith in The Emperor , and a dagger that can cut between points ;) Enemy 0km to wall…..

Review: I like all the siege of terra books……… but, I find it feels like a missed opportunity. We have the largest battle ever recorded with deeds and legends being born every moment yet they seem to pass over it so quickly. 4/5 books in and it feels like we’re half way through. Maybe I’m asking too much but these books could have been stretched out to 10 books adding in so much more story, intrigue and action. Almost feels they’re rushing through it now. Mortis is good, but it’s the sub plots that are best. You find out a bit more about the emperor and how the legions/primarchs were made. Very interesting.
