When Horus fell, his Sons fell with him. A broken Legion, beset by rivalries and hunted by their erstwhile allies, the former Luna Wolves have scattered across the tortured realm of the Eye of Terror. And of Abaddon, greatest of the Warmaster’s followers, nothing has been heard for many years. But when Horus’s body is taken from its resting place, a confederation of legionaries seek out the former First Captain, to convince him to embrace his destiny and continue what Horus began.
The Talon of Horus (Black Legion #1) Reviews
-
The Talon of Horus was an interesting read. It was my very first book told from the viewpoint of the Traitor Legions. Iskandar Khayon is a Chaos Marine and a sorcerer. Embroiled in the conflict between the various Traitor Marines, also known as the Nine Legions, Khayon and a mixture other Astartes from various Traitor Legions decide to try to change things.
I will not spoil the rest of the story, but this is basically the story of how the Black Legion arose out of the Nine Legions (the Nine Traitor Legions). It is the story of how some of the Chaos Marines, tired of fighting each other, band together to seek out a leader. There is one person they all have in mind.Only one with the skill, talent and sheer power to become a new Warmaster. His name, a blast from the past, is Ezekyle Abaddon. The First Captain of the Luna Wolves.
While the story isn't as well written as some of the other Warhammer books it is still good. I enjoyed the interesting look at the Chaos Marines. Also this version of Abaddon seems far more mature, intelligent and cynical than the old First Captain from the Horus Heresy books. This takes places roughly a few thousand years after the events of the Heresy.
A pretty good tale. Really liked the fact it showed the Traitor Marine's point of view and motivations. Not as good as the Horus Heresy series but an entertaining addition to this series nonetheless. -
An utterly sublime novel. A brilliant start to a new long running series and a fantastic insight into the workings of the Warp, Chaos and Daemons.
This is the best thing put out by BL to date and the most beautiful, wonderful and utterly singular novel by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. -
ADB, you magnificent bastard. Incredible.
-
The prose was excellent, it was very well written. My biggest problem is that just... not much happens.
The first 50 odd pages is... a conversation. Then they find the magical macguffin. Then there's a short fight at the end. And that's... about it.
And it's very Basil Exposition-ey at times.
However, we learn some interesting things about the way the warp is. The WH40k universe is redefined to be even more grim and bleak than it already is. (Honestly though, it is getting a ~little~ nihilistic. Is the Astartes vs Cthulhu story that far away? :) ) And there are a lot of really neat little character moments that I enjoyed very much.
For a book that got the full-blown epic Black Library £40 special edition treatment, I mean, it was a good story, but didn't quite live up to my expectations. Was left feeling sort of glad I borrowed it from a friend (and read it REALLY REALLY CAREFULLY! Honestly I've never been so nervous reading a book before.) rather than buying it myself.
I'm looking forward to the second volume though. If it expands on the set-up in this first one. It could be a rollicking good read.
One big spoilery question though, two of the core companion characters appear to die at the end in the fight with you-know-who, but I missed if we found out if they're actually dead or were just seriously injured? It seems a fairly large omission if the book didn't answer that, so I wonder if I just missed it? -
The Talon of Horus tells a story from a very interesting timeframe in the Warhammer40K universe: between the Horus Heresy and the Black Crusades there lie millenia in which the Imperium of Man was relatively at peace, insofar even that "The Nine Legions" where stuff of legend, believed to be lost in the Eye of Chaos and succumbed there to the Warp's fickle winds... and in essence, they were.
Small spoiler annex "oh-my-god now I really want to read this"-statement:
The main character is Khayon, a legionnary from the Thousand Sons, who stumbles into a quest to help some remnant of the fading XVIth chasing after legends.
ADB again succeeds in portraying traitor marines in such a way that you symphatise, no matter the horrors they willingly inflict upon their victims. Also, this character is that interesting, together with his retinue that even the "real" main character, the current bearer of The Talon of Horus, becomes a bit boring.
I find myself unable to describe any scene without adding more spoilers. The story is magnificently captivating, the new realisations about the WH40K universe are numerous; the finale blows your mind both with the adrenalin of the action, and the emotionality of the statements and conclusions being drawn.
It's not a recommended story for WH40K newbies, as the story ties and links with both the past (all of the Horus Heresy novels) and the present (the stories about the Black Crusades). But, for completeness sake, some novels to start from:
Past:
-
Horus Rising
-
False Gods
-
Galaxy in Flames
-
A Thousand Sons
-
Prospero Burns
-
The First Heretic
-
Betrayer
Present:
-
Night Lords
- any WH40K (the game) codex on Chaos and Chaos Space Marines... just to hear of the stories told -
ADB writes excellent fiction. He’s made his way as one of my favorite authors. Period. His portrayal of characters, command of English, swagged-out prose just hits home. The narratives he writes aren’t boring and reading his books feels fulfilling. What else can I say?
The Talon of Horus begins in mystery. Our antagonist describes certain circumstances intending to retrace how it all came to be. Solid opener, good hook. The next two chapters are handful descriptions that serve as excellent reminders about W40k lore, and what kinda` creatures we’re rolling with. You might not be too bothered with all this granted you’re swimming in 40k lore or hot off some books. I for one need, and welcome, the recaps. I also have the sweet, sweet benefit of having book 2 ready to go. I’ve made a healthy dent in the Horus Heresy, which I’d recommend at least having read up to Prospero Burns or A Thousand Sons.
I don’t want to describe too much about what happens, therein lies the point of reading. It’s a little difficult to describe the allure since the ‘action’ is lacking. The book requires patience. I’d dare to say there is a lot of tension to the novel, as well as some reveals that stamp unknown timelines. There’s similar treatment the Night Lords received in showing the fall of the Nine Legions and how even as mighty as the Black Legion appears/or are, they’re still war bands with tons of infighting. AKA The Emperor’s Children are absolute dicks, haha!
Aaron takes his time to describe things, I enjoy it, but it might put you off that he spends a page dedicated to why a gun has a particular name or how a certain calamity came about, etc. It dawned on me that he’s approaching it like a player in the tabletop game who has fleshed out his entire army. During this particular ‘game’ he takes certain key moments to savor why a face-full of bolter comes about your way from the jaws of a gun called, ‘Boltergeist’. I jest, just not far from the truth.
Recommended for all W40k fans. Lots of Thousand Sons, Emperor’s Children, Sons of Horus, and World Eater rep in here.
“And the warp always has a plan. An infinity of plans. A plan for every soul.” ~Page 35

Another great novel by Mr. ADB himself.
Told from the perspective of a Thousand Son legionary, he recants his time as one of Abaddons lieutenants. First giving us a little insight into what happened after the "Traitor" legions were defeated on Terra and what happens when they were banished into the Eye. It wasn't just a quick turn around of revenge that made the Sons of Horus turn into the Black Legion, but a slow crawl. He tells us of what life is like within the Eye. Something that we don't hear of too often from other Black Library authors, and he tells it in such great detail. ADB has definitely come a long way from his first novel Cadian Blood, and it seems (to me at least) that each novel gets better than the last!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Chaos Space Marines, both pre heresy and post heresy. Or for anyone who has interest into learning more about the Eye of Terror and its influence on the flesh. Actually, this book should be read by anyone who enjoys the Warhammer 40k universe. So stop reading this review and go out and buy it!!! -
WTF!
I ❤ The Black Legion.
They've got the driest/blackest sense of humour..

Хорус пал, его выжившие друзья убежали в Око Ужаса зализывать раны - на этом этапе мы начинаем читать роман "Коготь Хоруса", входящий в состав трилогии о Черном Легионе. Описание ведет Искандар Хайон, лорд-чернокнижник Тысячи сынов. Собравшись на тайной сходке по просьбе Фалька (космодесантника хаоса), Хайон Фальк и примкнувший к ним Укрис из Пожирателей миров, установили, что некто (судя по всему Дети императора) хотят клонировать Хоруса. Это нужно срочно пресечь, т.к. Хорус будет уже не тот, да и если бы был тот, то и он не нужен, так как обгадился он в итоге по полной. Спустя некоторое время к ним совершенно неожиданно присоединяется великий и ужасный Абаддон, у которого свои цели на возрождение славы былого ордена, дабы доказать всем, что главная проблема в галактике - это именно они, а не тираниды или разные ксеносы.
Я могу назвать этот роман вступительным. Знакомимся с героями, слушаем их размышления, проникаемся идеями, пытаемся понять мотивацию. Я все время ждал, когда начнется традиционный экшен для среднестатистического Вархаммера, но он так и не начался. Стычки, конечно есть (в основном с порождениями хаоса), но они проходят фоном, т.к. не это главное в романе. Для меня может быть это и есть главный недочет романа. С другой стороны, есть куча других книг с феерическими сражениями. В "Когте Хоруса" мы получили начало истории об импозантных фигурах из Ока Ужаса, которые обязательно в следующих книгах цикла начнут творить разные непотребства.
Начало хорошее, не шибко высокого градуса, но обнадеживающее в плане следующих романов. Пора выходить из тени, Абаддон! -
I am a fan of Dembski-Bowden's work. They have a way of capturing certain elements in the 40k universe that very few of the Black Library's stable of writers can.
That said, The Talon of Horus left me with mixed feelings.
On one hand, this is a wonderful novel. At first, I was thrown by the choice to use a Thousand Son character to tell the tale of the Black Legion. But, as the novel progressed, it made complete sense. Not only did it allow for a few really interesting side characters, but it also allowed for some nice discussions about the warp. (I was reading this alongside the last book of the Ahriman series, so it was an interesting counterpoint to this tale)
There are some absolutely beautiful things in this novel. The slow build to the creation of the Black Legion was nice, and helped to show why they came about. It gave me some insight into something I never really liked in the 40k universe, and helped me to understand the motives behind them where other novels had left Abaddon coming across as a fool. (surprisingly, Aaron was the author of that series as well) By the end of the novel, I actually liked the Black Legion and what it stood for.
Another thing is the side characters. Each and every single one of them were fleshed out in some manner and were both unique and interesting. There were points where I felt that perhaps they were too unique, pushing the boundaries of believability of the story, almost crossing into the Mary Sue area of things.
Compared to a lot of 40K novels, this one contains a lot more dialogue and inner thoughts of the protagonist. It may not be for everyone, but it helped to explain certain things, and at times the exposition was actually needed, and slotted in perfectly with how the story was fitting together. Without these moments, this would have been a very lack luster novel, and nothing more than the standard action novels we so regularly see in 40k fiction.
But with all that said, there were some issues with this book, beyond the before mentioned toeing of the Mary Sue line. My biggest has to do with the clone of Horus. It is mentioned time and time again in 40k fiction that the primarchs were to the space marines as the space marines are to normal humans. This can actually be seen in the current release of the primarchs in the game itself. Yet in the confrontation with the cloned Horus in this, the way everything plays out not only downplayed the primarch (maybe a cloning flaw?), but also made him sized the same as Abaddon in his terminator warplate, which shouldn't have been the case. Most people wouldn't have noticed this, but it really took me out of the story.
Another is just the ease at which the protagonist and his warband solve some of the issues of this story. Sure, there will be readers who will read these events and go: 'That was so cool!!', yet really, the way the events play out are just so... glossed over to the point where they seemed easy for the group to achieve. It robbed the tale of a lot of character building and weakened the tale overall. It felt very much deus ex machina.
Yet, in the end, I really enjoyed this novel, and will probably read it again. The protagonist was fascinating and engaging, and I found myself thinking about him every so often when I wasn't reading the novel. I found myself leaning towards reading this novel despite being in the middle of a handful of other 40k novels. It's worth reading, and even more so if you are a Black Legion or Chaos marine player. -
Do you love everything Warhammer? Do you devour any bits of lore available? Do you care about the world and its characters? If not, then you won't like this. This book is for people who eat and breathe Warhammer 40k.
The book tells the origin story of the Black Legion and of how Abaddon became Warmaster of Chaos. The main character is one Iskandar Khayon, sorcerer of the Thousand Sons legion. He gathers a ragtag group of allies and spends most of the book trying to find the legendary Vengeful Spirit intending to claim it as his own. His plans change when he actually finds the vessel and meets Abaddon but this only happens later in the story.
What really surprised me here is that The Talon of Horus is a very risky and atypical 40k book. Generally, 40k novels thrive on explosive action and adrenaline fueled battle scenes with some character moments thrown in between them. The best books in the series manage to blend these two elements and thus making you actually care about what happens in those battles. Here, ADB takes a huge chance by almost exclusively focusing on world building and character development. There are precious few battle scenes and even those that exist are short and nowhere near the scope and scale of the grand engagements found elsewhere. This could have easily derailed the entire thing but for me it managed to make the whole experience all the more special.
ADB has a very unique style of writing Chaos. In most books, the Traitor Legions and just generally anyone even remotely aligned to Chaos are portrayed as one dimensional evil fanatics devoid of any character. He on the other hand tries to give them sentience and personalities beyond being just fodder for the "good guys". For all I know he could be a Chaos God himself, sent to Earth to try and fool us all into embracing the Pantheon. But in the off chance that he isn't, he remains probably the best Chaos writer that Black Library has. -
Absolutely one of the BEST Warhammer 40K universe based novels I have ever read. ADB brings all of his ability illuminating and making sympathetic and compelling villains once again. I hated Dan Abnett because he would make characters in this gaming universe that I cared about and missed when he killed them off, but ADB has this amazing skill of taking figures you should absolutely hate and only want to see fail and turning them into interesting, deep, and compelling figures in an every growing mythology. ADB writes so well in this universe, and is consistently creating and breaking ground in lore that needs to be told. I am really excited for the next novel in this series. I also have to say, because I am pretty sure he has been exposed to it, if you like the narrative style here, read Bernard Cornwell's Winter King trilogy about King Arthur. A prisoner recounting lost days of brotherhood and tragedy once again. If not, your loss. ADB, damnit, you are awesome. Don't stop.

So impressed with this work - the combination of Aaron Dembski-Bowden and Jonathan Keeble really makes this audiobook amazing! I was so impressed I searched for anything else Keeble had narrated. Great plot, great characters and a shame that Games Workshop haven't created a model of the main character (yet!) Really looking forward to listening to the second book in this series but also loved it so much I may also read it too! Great stuff!

Не новий для Варгаммера випадок - книжка більше про бекграунд та історію персонажей та лор фракцій, ніж про самостійний цікавий сюжет. Утім, написана вельми майстерно, щоб не набриднути.

Very nice book, good flow, interesting characters. Some background knowledge of 40k is recommended before you start this novel.

Horus. The Great Betrayer. The Warmaster. With the Heresy over and the heretics banished from Terra, The Talon of Horus picks up with a Traitor Warband in the Eye of Terror. And already I’m hooked. From my first steps into Warhammer 40k, I’ve always enjoyed the ‘evil’ side more than the Imperium. They are fractured characters who often do the wrong thing for the right reason and have descended into Chaos. Other times they are flat out awful people and watching them is both horrifying and cathartic. Either way, they have some fantastic stories to tell and The Talon of Horus is by far one of my favourites.
The Talon of Horus by Aaron Dembski-Bowden chronicles the founding of the Black Legion and Abaddon’s rise to Warmaster. It is the first in a trilogy (as of now the third book hasn’t been released) and The Talon of Horus primarily focuses on the search for the former First Captain and the days before the Black Legion was formed.
Throughout the book we primarily follow, former Thousand Son and Sorcerer, Iskandar Khayon and he is a fantastic main character. All of the characters in The Talon of Horus are great with time spent to develop each. However, we spend the most time with Iskandar getting to understand why he left his legion and what his motivations are for helping the Sons of Horus find Abaddon. It fleshes out what happened between The Horus Heresy and the main 40k timeline and gives us some awesome characters to love/hate along the way.

Again, A.D.Bowden takes us on a journey through the twisted paths of Chaos. Starts slowly by calling you: "come here...come and see" and then takes you by the collar and throws you into another intricately woven story. So immersive and with interesting characters that you just wanna know more about. And to be able to do that with dark and twisted characters is even greater accomplishment. In my humble opinion it's not easy to create great dark characters without them just becoming butchers and crazed killers (although World Eaters usually are :) ). His characters are intelligent darkness, like the first sip of Earl Gray tea: you see the dark color swirling and then explosion of different layers of taste and all of them interesting and sooo goood! Just like in Night Lords trilogy he set the right tone and made himself foundations for another great trilogy or even more. My friends we're in for another dark journey, and I can't wait too see what's next!

ADB delivers once again. Be warned though; this book is just an appetizer; the main courses are yet to come. I do have some concerns (if that's the right word) for this book and the series to follow fitting with some of the other 40k novels out there. The Blood Angels series by James Swallow might throw some hitches in the giddyup, for instance. It was nice seeing Abaddon in action again, and Khayon is a fine narrator.
-
Great book , some great characters and it leaves you wanting more
-
Without a doubt, the best piece in the entire Warhammer 40.000 franchise.
-
Do you want to start a Chaos Army?
If not, don't buy this book because you will.
ADB is the best and he does such a good job of making Chaos Fun and Believable. -
Posh sounding bloke prattles on for hours with an unbearable sense of self importance. Once I'd sped up the narration to 1.6 he sounded like Arthur Lowe, which kept me entertained for a while.

Chaos Space Marines have always been favourites of mine and given the talent of Aaron Dembski-Bowden, not only for writing them but bringing them to life and fleshing them out, I was most eager to read this. The details of what happened in the 10,000 years between the end of the Horus Heresy and the present timeline of the Warhammer 40,000 universe and the activities of the Traitor Legions in that time has always intrigued me, and it's a subject that's quite murky in terms of lore, so this book piqued my interest in giving a bit more illumination to that.
Told from the perspective of Iskandar Khayon, a former Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons, both as the events happened as he relates them to Imperial captors, the picture you get as the book opens is a bleak one; the Horus Heresy has become all but an apocryphal myth. Horus is long dead, the remaining Primarchs of the Traitor Legions have ascended to Daemonhood and left the concerns of their sons behind, and what's left of the Traitor Legions have devolved in fractious warbands fighting amongst themselves for territory and resources. The Long War to cast down the False Emperor has been forgotten. Trapped in the roiling depths of the Eye of Terror, the only thing that matters to the Traitor Legions anymore is survival.
When Khayon is approached by an old comrade of his with word of a dire threat, that the body of Horus has been stolen from its tomb by the Emperor's Children, he finds himself caught up in a quest across the Eye of Terror to find the one person who might be able to put an end to whatever obscene plans the Third Legion has for Horus's corpse, a warrior who has long disappeared into the depths of the Eye in the wake of his father's great failure, Ezekyle Abaddon...
This story is a bit of a weird one, particularly for one set in the 40K universe. Bolter porn, this is not. While there are action sequences in it, they're very restrained; the Talon reads more like a journey of self discovery for the main characters (who are a fascinating and certainly mixed bunch- Khayon, Lheor, Telemachon, Nefertari and Ezekyle himself are all so well written and nuanced, certainly far more than you'd expect of the races and Legions they hail from) as they rediscover what they truly are, what they are meant to be and set aside their petty differences in order to forge something greater, something that can achieve what they were meant for...to build a new army, not one shackled to Horus's failure on Terra, but one motivated and driven to finish what was started 10,000 years before...Death to the False Emperor!
'Talon of Horus' was definitely not what I was expecting, but overall, a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable read that gave a great level of depth and dimension to one of the most pivotal characters of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, introduced some fascinating, well-written new characters that are gripping and genuinely make you want to see more of them, and leaves some impressive hooks at the climax which makes one think if this is good, then it is only the beginning... I recommend this to anyone with an interest in Chaos Space Marines, the Horus Heresy and Warhammer 40,000 in general, or who just fancies a different and thought-provoking sort of book. -
The first book in the Black Legion series following the founding of the Black Legion and the rise of Ezekyle Abaddon as the Warmaster of Chaos, Chosen of the Gods.
Taking place some indeterminate time after the Horus Heresy and the Scouring, we follow Iskandar Khayon, formerly of the Thousands Sons as he searches for some meaning in the chaotic existence that the Traitor Legions now endure within the Eye of Terror. Haunted by ghosts of his past and the destruction of his homeworld, Prospero, Iskandar is called to a gathering by his old allies, from which they will set out in the search of Abaddon and the Vengeful Spirit.
Up front, I'm probably fairly biased as Aaron Dempski-Bowden is one of my favourite authors and his writing style is right up my alley.
I did very much enjoy the book. It is a fresh vision of how the Chaos Warbands operate, at least in the early days after the Horus Heresy. While not a whole lot actually happens during the book, there is a greater focus on Khayons inner thought, which is fills a great deal if not the majority of the book. I, personally, really like that type of exposition, especially since it deals very much with his own personality and helps establish his character. It also helps introduce new readers to several concept that might not be obvious, like how daemons are created, how the Traitor Legions operate, why they hate each-other, and the general history behind the events that are referenced.
There's a good variety of characters that we're introduce to. They have clear motivations, and their reason for being there are well-established. Throughout the book the characters undergo some development, from being just another loosely held together warband to, maybe becoming something more, as well as some self-discovery for Khayon himself.
My only complaint is that, while there are several of action-scenes during the book, it never feels as though Khayon is in any danger until very late in the book. To a certain extent there's a lack of tension until the final encounter.
The book was read by Jonathan Keeble, who has an absolutely excellent voice range and brings a lot of emotion into the characters as he describes movement, mannerisms, etc. He doesn't just read the words but almost act them out by voice alone.
The Talon of Horus is, in my opinion, an excellent book and I would recommend it to anyone interested in Warhammer 40.000, or just a good Science Fantasy filled with Anti-heroes. -
Since this was a reread, I won't say too much, especially as this is one of the most heavily reviewed BL novels ever published. My voice will be lost in the chorus.
Aaron is a brilliant writer, he may even be a brilliant man, but he is not so detached with his genuine intellect to divorce himself from his emotional center. I think this is why so many adore his writing: he refuses to talk down to anyone, and though he is clearly smarter than the average, he is also willing to lay open his heart.
Even when penning a tale about Chaos this comes through. Few writers can make you actually care for the Fallen Angels of the Nine Legions, Aaron does.
This, the first of a hopefully Gaunt's Ghosts length series, sets the foundations for the series to come, especially as it establishes the true chaotic nature, and the miserable despair, of society within the Eye of Terror.
If I had a complaint would be that at times this novel was overly introspective, but it was worth it as the ending tied all those lose strands of internal brooding together in the assault on the Canticle City and Fabius' Pulchritudinous.
Some get annoyed at Aaron's formula for storytelling; his reliance upon a wounded or broken hero, surrounded by platonic female companions who ground him in sanity, while he grows through the interactions with his warrior brethren. Personally, this darker, more emotive form of storytelling is perfect for stories of Chaos.
And here this formula works profoundly. Who else could cause someone to feel affection for a dark eldar maiden who literally feasts upon the blood of her foes?
A hell of a good book, and since it's already hinted at in the end of the story, it will be a sad day for me indeed when Lheor falls in battle. The interactions between Lheor and Khayon were at times hilarious, and at others quite poignant.
Excellent book, hopefully an excellent series.
Very highly recommended. -
Once and a while a book comes your way that is truly remarkable. A book where you drop everything and totally engross yourself within its words. The Talons of Horus by Aaron Dembski-Bowden is a masterpiece of science fiction and the best book I have read regarding the Warhammer 30k-40k universe. Sorry Dan Abnett, you might have been eclipsed.
The Talon of Horus is a fascinating journey through a part of the Warhammer Universe that has always been a bit of mystery to me: the Warp and Chaos. Specifically the Eye of Terror. I have always wondered what made Space Marines turn to Chaos, what was the Warp like, what was everyday like, etc.? This book paints a fascinating picture of life with in the Eye and further defines Chaos and the Warp (and daemons!).
The characters are extremely interesting and introspective. The main character, Iskandar Khayon, is one of the most interesting characters I have encountered in years in science fiction. Dembski-Bowden does a fantastic job of introducing aspects and past experience of the characters in a deliberately slow and mysterious way, further adding to the allure to learn more and more.
The book was very deep in its exploration of concepts, history, and side stories but still well paced. I felt that no detour was derailing of the story and only further added color to this already vibrantly magnificent canvas. Dembski-Bowden's writing and descriptions are extremely strong and produce vivid images in your mind's eye.
I can think of no flaws with this book and ultimately, it transformed my view of the Chaos Space Marines and those dwelling within the Eye of Terror.
Having pontificated my undying praise of this brilliant tome of lore and conflict, I will be awarding it with the extremely rare "will read again" award.
5 out 5. Highly recommend. Even if you never thought Chaos was interesting, it will surely change your mind.
Bravo, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Bravo!
