It is a golden age, with rediscoveries and conquests, and the Emperor's great crusade has placed his superhuman primarch-son at the head of a mighty Space Marine legion - the largest military force ever assembled. The idealistic Horus now stands over his brothers as the crusade approaches its conclusion and dark cosmic truths begin to reveal themselves. Far away, malevolent alien races and wayward human civilizations threaten. A war is brewing that threatens to exterminate humanity!
