The End and the Death: Volume II (The Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra)

Product Information

Volume two of The End and the Death is coming later this year, but as we revealed last week in an interview with Dan Abnett , there is a third volume coming – and today we can unveil the cover. The End and the Death is the final, torturous step on the road the Great Crusade began. With the empire contracted to a single planet, the dream of the great work lying in ruins, the full fury of the Space Marines exhausted and turned inward to purge and scour the homeworld itself, you can’t help but see the beating heart of the novel as Dan Abnett. Not the Emperor, not Horus, not Malcador. Dan. Doombreed, the host of Drach'nyen, Be'Lakor, N'Kari, Ku'gath, Skarbrand, The Masque, Bubonicus, Ulkair from Dawn of War etc. were all summoned by a person Horus thinks is Zardu Layak and are fighting on Terra

But at the whim of a Warmaster fallen so far from grace, the Dark Gods will not make Sanguinius’ task easy. As the war edges towards its explosive, bloody conclusion, events are about to unfold that could either save humanity or plunge it headlong into an eternity of darkness. It is The End. After more than 20 years of gripping novels the final moments of the Horus Heresy are in sight. Hundreds of characters have fought tooth and nail to reach this epic conclusion, and many millions more lie dead in their wake as worlds burn across the galaxy. I was looking forward to returning to characters like Loken – who obviously has got to be in it because he was there at the start – and Jon Grammaticus. But as is ever the case, when you’re writing a character, you bond with them in a weird way and they become a favourite. So I loved writing Malcador and other characters who I’ve never really had the same level of time to spend with.For the best viewing experience, we recommend using old reddit version - https://old.reddit.com/r/40kLore/ The Emperor and Oll Persson once conquered the Tower of Babel when Oll was his Warmaster because it was dedicated to learning Enuncia. Oll thought they were going to destroy the Tower but the Emperor thought Enuncia could be useful. Oll stabbed him. The Emperor wants Sanguinius to stay because his wounds from Angron were grave but Sanguinius believes he is fated to die due to Horus. If he stays then that means Horus will kill the Emperor and then come to kill Sanguinius. But if Sanguinius is killed by Horus first it means the Emperor has a chance. Sanguinius however still wants to defy fate and kill Horus.

And while he’s now finished with the Horus Heresy, Dan’s far from finished with Warhammer. He’s working on another novel set at a more contemporary period in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, one with a very different scope – but we wouldn’t be Warhammer Community if we told you what that was just yet! For now, he just hopes that people enjoy the end of the saga. Soulblight vampires are blessed (or cursed?) by Nagash with immortality – so why is Nyssa Volari dying?

But first, a little warm up – the covers of Volumes I and II. The first featured the Emperor on the Golden Throne biding his time, the second his angelic son Sanguinius facing off against the Warmaster on the Vengeful Spirit … so what’s next? The book is written in the present tense and there are several POVs. The war is mostly over, everyone left outside the Eternity Gate when it was sealed knows they've been left to die and group themselves into haphazard units and formations. Titans are being crucified along the Palace's walls, the World Eaters have been tearing the turrets off of tanks and building a graveyard of tank-skulls, the White Scars holding the Lion's Gate Spaceport are being battered by fire from the Traitor fleet.So that’s what’s in the book, what’s good about it, what isn’t so good, and how it’s written. But that’s not all this one is, because there’s a great deal of symbolic importance to the End above and beyond it being the first half of the End itself.

Malcador begs the Emperor to talk to him multiple times but gets no response, the Throne is overwhelming the Emperor with pain but he is doing a thousand things at once on the throne, inspiring individual soldiers on Terra, soothing civilians, directing the webway.

And that is very different in every respect to the centrepiece of part three, which is Horus vs the Emperor. There was a very deliberate attempt on my part to make sure those things didn’t just become just more of the same.” So what is it about? “It’s the final hours of the Siege, the confrontation between the Emperor and Horus, which is immense. And it’s also obviously the fallout of all the other major events that are going on at the time. It’s the end of the Heresy era and the beginning is something new. There is a sense of history, pivoting in the most dramatic sense, and a lot of very important loose ends come together.”
