 Legion!
The new Horus Heresy book, Legion, on the Alpha Legion, is by far my personal favorite. they are, after all, my favorite legion and it was awesome to finally know why they turned.
I'll try not to give too much away JIK you guys havent read it yet. The book doesnt follow the marines like the other ones did. this is from the perspective of several Imperial Army officers in the expedition that the Alpha Legion is following.
The basic premice is that the army is trying to subdue a world, but they cant because of its powerful chaos magic. they call for help from the alpha legion, who is already operating in secret on the world, unbeknown to all, and they pop out and start the offensive anew. however, there is a spy in the imperiums midst, who works for The Cabal, an anti-chaos group who needs to talk to Alpharius about something extremely important, namely: The Heresy....
Now Dan Abnett is definately the person for the Alpha Legion. I got it on saturday and couldnt put it down until last night. they have always been my favorite legion, and in light of this book i am planning on converting my chapter into Alpha Legionaries |
