Created in the Emperor’s own image, the primarchs had long thought themselves to be princes of the universe and masters of their own destiny – they led the Space Marine Legions in glorious conquest of the galaxy, and no enemy of the Imperium could stand against them. However, even amongst this legendary brotherhood, the seeds of dissent had been sown long before the treacherous Warmaster Horus declared his grand heresy.
Gathered within this anthology are four novellas focusing on some of the mightiest warriors and leaders that mankind has ever known – Fulgrim, Lion El’Jonson, Ferrus Manus and the twin primarchs Alpharius and Omegon – and the roles that they may have yet to play in a war which threatens to change the face of the Imperium forever.

Konrad Curze?
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kashif
Please let the one about Curze be written by ADB!
Sanguinius?
Rated 5 out of 5 by Travis
Will the Blood Angels or Sanguinius ever be more than characters in other Legions books? Come on Fulgrim already has a book its called "Fulgrim" excellent read though it is....come on.
Ferrus Manus
Rated 5 out of 5 by Garviel
UM. This might be a stupid question since I haven't read it. But how can Ferrus have anything to do with the future of the Emperium when he is dead already?

Since this is the Horus Heresy, I suspect the tale deals with the time when he was alive, and may even detail his assassination on Isstvan.
Re: Sanguinus
Rated 5 out of 5 by Will
while they may not be fully-featured in a HH book yet, most of the featured legions haven't had a book or two to themselves, like Fulgrim or Legion, whereas the Blood Angels are scheduled to have their second omnibus released in february 2012. I have no doubt that there will be a HH book from their perspective eventually, but all things considered I dont think the Blood Angels are lagging behind in material. http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/blood-angels-the-second-omnibus.html that being said, I cant wait to see the full-size poster image of this cover!
Blood Angels
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ed
So you guys don't reckon that a book called "Fear to Tread" is obviously going to be about Angels of some description and the title hints at being Blood Angels rather than Dark Angels? Especially as the rest of the Dark Angels stroy doesn't really happen till after the end of the Heresy. I'd have thought it was pretty obvious that Fear to Tread is going to be about the Blood Angels to be honest.
Missing Primarchs MIA
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tim
The missing Primarchs need to stay missing. It's nice have teasing glimpses into what happened, but I think this should ultimately remain unknown. It would be finding out the Emperor’s real name; we need to retain a bit of mystery.
Russ
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carson
Their need to be one on Russ is parts int "thousand sons" and "prospero burns" where way to small and short he is to much of a bamf to left out like that
Primarchs, The
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jesper
I agree,, Fulgrim is getting to much attention,, He and his legion had their book in Fulgrim.. how about Angrond.. could he not soon get his own novella,, he and his legion..??
Sanginius
Rated 5 out of 5 by Matthew
Well if the Blood angels and the Angel have a stand alone book in HH will no doubt be from the time horus sets them up to them making for Terra. And who is forgetting this, while the Blood angels have been a back burner group so far in HH, everyone forgetting the ROLE they play in the siege of Terra, not to mention the fact one of the BIGGEST key moments in BA history is during said time frame, trust me, Blood Angels will have their day in the spotlight for the heresy books.
Blood Angels
Rated 5 out of 5 by Szabolcs
There will be a Blood Angels HH novel next year. As pointed out by Ed above it's called Fear to Tread. There was a blog entry already about this with the cover of the book. http://www.blacklibrary.com/Blog/Where-angels-fear.html The story is about the battle on Signus Prime where Sanguinius gets his ass handed to him by Ka'Bandha, biggest and baddest bloodthirster of Khorne.
The Primarchs
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sean
How about Perturabo? We have not seen much of the Iron Warrior legion Primarch
