The Chaos cult that brought House Devine to its knees lives on, preying upon the weak and the helpless, and it falls to Alivia Sureka to root out the evil that hides in plain sight. Luckily for her, she has an ally who is more than familiar with such tactics – the lone wolf Knight Errant, Severian.
Amidst the toxic ash wastes of Mars, the spiker-for-hire Adept Hydraq is tasked to infiltrate the mighty Basiri forge complex and steal data from its tech-priest overlord.

On aura droit à plusieurs retournements de situation et une narration très immersive pour un ...

4/5Bonne petite nouvelle qui nous fait saliver tout en confirmant l'attrait indéniable que génère Loken parmi l'Adeptus Astartes
The Mechanicum priesthood guards its secrets carefully — few of its technological marvels and processes are fully understood by the Imperium, and many more could be deadly if allowed to fall into the wrong hands. However, in the forges of Lukas Chrom, something sinister has come into being. Rumours abound of forbidden lore and artificial sentience, and a name has been whispered in the dark corners of the Martian data network: 'Kaban'.
4/5The Kaban Project est à lire juste avant Mechanicum de l’Hérésie d’Horus. Ce récit est court mais bien rempli, avec de l’investigation, de l’action et même un peu de fluff. Vraiment agréable à lire.
In what should have been the pinnacle of his career, a lone remembrancer meets an unfortunate end at the hands of the Luna Wolves. So close to the heart of the Warmaster’s emerging powerbase, were the signs of Horus’s fall apparent from the beginning, yet heeded by no one?

2.5/5Une nouvelle qui ne fait pas avancer la trame de l’Hérésie mais qui reste suffisamment intéressante et rythmée pour être plaisante. Un bon concentré de science-fiction.
Put on trial for breaking faith with the holy Codex Astartes, Uriel Ventris and Pasanius of the Ultramarines have one chance to reclaim their honour... and save their lives.
2.5/5Consequences est très probablement la nouvelle d'Uriel Ventris la plus dispensable. Cette transition entre les tomes à beau être fluide vous l'oublierez très probablement aussi vite que vous avez pu la lire.
