About this listen
The Great Crusade that has taken humanity into the stars continues. The Emperor of Mankind has handed the reins of command to his favoured son, the Warmaster Horus. Yet all is not well in the armies of the Imperium.
Horus is still battling against the jealousy and resentment of his brother primarchs, and when he is injured in combat on the planet Davin, he must also battle his inner daemon. With all the temptations that Chaos has to offer, can the weakened Horus resist?

enjoyable continuation of story
I would definitely say this book is worth your time. Not quite as good as Horus rising but still great opening to the Heresy!
Enjoyable listening with fantastic voice acting (although weirdly enough despite it being the same voice actor as previously some of the character voices changed!)
The story itself is perhaps a little slow to start with but the final 1/3 is pretty great and depicted the struggles faced and turmoil really well and imaginatively although this was always going to be challenging considering everyone knows the ultimate outcome!
Loken and Targaddon are great characters with lots of good depth but (just occasionally) can be a little predicable!

Horus heresy book 2
Enthralling read. Very well performed and has left me hungry for more. Would recommend to anyone who is curious about the 40k universe. Get book one first though... 😉

Superb
I honestly can't believe how good this serious is,
Toby Longworth has done an outstanding job telling the story, he has read the book beautifully and with just the right amount of humour.
Graham McNeill is an outstanding writer

A great book stymied by necessity
False Gods is, overall, an excellent read, Toby Longworth delivers a fantastic performance and the first third is up to par with the sensational Horus Rising. However, Horus' fall to chaos and his corruption of the lodge is lightning fast, characters and plot events are dealt with markedly quickly, and towards the end it really feels like the book is just trying to move everyone where they need to be for Isstvan. It loses the supremely organic nature of Horus Rising and overall it is indicative of a loss of steam in the last third.

Voices all wrong
The story is great, no disputing that. For me it isn't as good as horus rising but it's still a great novel.
Unfortunately the narration on this is bad enough to make me wince at times.
Some characters are fine such as Garviel, Horus and Karkasy but others are done so badly that I have to laugh.
For example Abaddon, the hulking, grumpy giant, baddest astartes around, born and raised in the roughest slums of Cthonia... sounds like a posh, nasally nerd. It's really, really bad and enough to snap me out of the story at times.
The narration itself is fine, some characters are fine, others... Not so much.

Great story
This is a great continuation of the Horus heresy saga, it builds well on the history and expands the universe.
