First Impressions: Tales of Heresy

 This was my introduction into a series of books about the Horus Heresy. This is THE event that sent the universe of Warhammer 40,000 down it's dark path. It's a collection of tales set during the time when humanity should have been regaining its former glory and dominance of the galaxy. Unfortunately, the most beloved son has gone dark side and is preparing to take down humanity's greatest protected The Emperor.  

On the cover we have this dude, I don’t know, that looks badass. The lettering is in gold leaf print that gives it a regal feel. The background just looks like chaos and destruction. The back cover has some spiky looking space marines whooping ass.

I choose this book to be my introduction to the Horus Heresy on purpose. I thought a lot of small tales of what's happening all over the place would be just the thing to get me feeling the impact of this event. This was a time of legends and reading about a lot of them at once seemed right. I was not disappointed!
