The Path of Heaven

The Horus Heresy, Book 36

De: Chris Wraight

Narrado por: John Banks

For too long had the Vth Legion ranged out beyond the sight of the wider Imperium, remaining ignorant of the Warmaster's rebellion and the war that inevitably followed.

Only once their primarch, Jaghatai Khan, had satisfied himself that the path before them was just and true did the White Scars choose a side, taking the fight to the traitors on every front. But, four years later, the Legion's unfettered spirit has been broken by relentless attritional warfare against the Death Guard and the Emperor's Children - the Khan's Stormseers must find a clear route to Terra if they are to take part in the final, apocalyptic battle.

fantastic

This book answers many questions. If you are a fan of the white scars you need to hear it.

Excellent story

This book is my favorite Warhammer story, and the performance was perfection itself. Incredible action, tightly plotted story, superb characters.

Great Addition to the Series

If you are a fan of the White Scars legion, this is the book for you.

The beginning act was amazing. Thrust right into a battle after a short intro on the progress of the war.

I liked everything about it. Some of the heresy novels struggle to keep up with the actual war and go on side tangents but not this. Especially in the beginning, you get this theme of desperation on both sides. The WS are desperately trying to escape to terra after long years of guerilla warfare, only know the enemy has caught on to their tactics. The EC are slowly falling into depravity. The small squads left are struggling to hold their sanity, looking for a final battle of honor and perfection before they souls are taken.

White Scars continuation

Another solid book that does a great job at filling in the storyline of the white scars. Informs you on how they end up where they need to be.

The Art of Laughing Lightning

Chris Wraight has made me a full convert to the White Scars. This book is also a great example of scale creep done right. The battles are bigger, the plot is more complex, the story threads more numerous and spread apart, and the characters introduced in the previous book "Scars" are placed into the pressure cooker to see what deeper characterization comes of it. This is standard operating procedure, but not everyone can stick the landing. Wraight does so skillfully with a tidy bow unifying everything at the end without grasping for a 40k deus ex machina like "it was a C'tan Shard the whole time!". There are also few examples of sucessfully fleshing-out the character of a primarch. Jaghatai is handled expertly.

Bonus Points: The story was so good I only fell asleep one time due to John Bank's narration. Seriously, though. The man has no sense of dramatic gravitas. A dramatic climax, decrescendo, an expository description of setting - it's all read in the same voice, cadence, volume, etc.

Please give more books to some of these new narrators like Joe Jameson. I love the Forge of Mars series, and a large part of that is his performance. John Banks suuuuuucks.

White scars!!

Wish we had more white scars books. By far the most underrated legion in-lore. The khagan is such a levelheaded character
