## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sympathy for the Devil
*by A***3 on March 17, 2025*

To be honest, I began reading The Talon of Horus without much enthusiasm and with a sense of righteous disgust. I thought there could be little new to learn, and less to care, about what motivated the remnants of the Traitor Legions to coalesce into the Black Legion. I was very much mistaken…. God help me but I cannot help having more respect for Khayon and his companions than for the foolish, sanctimonious inquisitors interrogating him….John Milton was a deeply pious Puritan, yet somehow Satan emerges as the true hero of his Paradise Lost. Something like that happens here.A thought-provoking and mesmerizing novel. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very engaging story.
*by J***A on April 10, 2025*

I enjoyed the main character's perspective. Khayon was extremely capable and commanded the respect of everyone around him. Seeing the birth of the Black Legion was very interesting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent story involving brotherhood and sense of purpose

My Review of Talon Of HorusWritten by Aaron Dembski-BowdenFive stars for this reviewFirst I will start out by saying I thought this book was going to be about Abbadon and filled with his insights as too how he is thinking, why he is making the decisions leading up to creating the Black Legion and how he enacts his rule.Instead I was really surprised at how this story unfolded. First this story began from the perspective of a Thousand Son Legionary and not a Luna Wolf. The legionary gathers fellow Astarte’s to a cause that embodies a sense of purpose. Talon of Horus as most of us know is a special power claw of five blades one for each finger with a storm bolter mounted on the top… or another description for how I perceived this book is each blade can represent a heretic legion that is now fractured after the death of Horus. This Talon or similar to a fist being a fist is weak while missing a finger or a broken one but when the hand is whole then the first is strong. These Heretic spacemarines needed a reason or a common goal, possibly a proof of existence too not just fight but fight as a legion comprised of fractured and leaderless soldiers but as a Legion. Through the help of this Thousand Son, a few World Eaters and some other Astarte’s. So together they went to find Abbadon who possibly was on the Vessel Vengeful Spirit in seclusion. The Idea of the main character and his brothers is too find Abbadon who would take all the war bands and leaderless Astarte’s who fought for Horus and Install Abbadon as Warmaster and give direction and instill a sense of purpose into the thousands of gene enhanced soldiers of war who have no sense of purpose or beliefs besides killing for the sake of killing.ABD the author stayed on point with a focused storyline about brotherhood, sense of purpose and portraying the leaderless multiple legion spacemarines as not just being mindless, heretical, blood lust killing machines but a large group of soldiers who were human enough too be more then they felt after the fall of the warmaster Horus at the Battle for Terra. This is a story about the scrap of humanity each Genetically altered spacemarine has and his sense of brotherhood. Honor, duty and self-worth I felt were the focus in this story and the author too me portrayed that well. The story flowed very well and each chapter when finished was cohesive naturally with each following chapter. This story had a strong human element portrayed by the characters and especially Abaddon. The story was so much more then Abbadon and every aspect of the story was very clear. The proper editing was evident with each chapter.This reader wants more about Abbadon and his insights, how he thinks, the character that he is. I know Abbadon as the Warmaster of The Black Legion and not much more then what most mainstream 40K fan knows about him. Abbadon is the leader of the greatest fighting force in the universe and he is hardly covered by Games workshop. So book two in the series better have more about Abbadon and I look forward to reading the next addition to the collection.
