The latest chapter of arguably the most epic story in Warhammer history is finally (nearly) here. The End and the Death Vol II by Dan Abnett is a tour de force – answering almost as many questions as it poses, and culminating in the definitive version of a duel that’s lingered in the background for real-time decades.

With Terra besieged and humanity’s salvation on a knife edge, Sanguinius, primarch of the loyalist Blood Angels, braves the horrors of the Warmaster’s flagship, The Vengeful Spirit, with a single purpose in mind: to slay his brother Horus, decapitate the Heresy once and for all, and stop the forces of Chaos from taking Terra.
