About this deal

Also the actual killing off of Garro when there are plenty of boring characters in series that deserve it. Despite the short page count though, there’s plenty of little details and character moments here for Garro fans to enjoy. Always loyal to the throne, always ready to do what is required, Nathaniel Garro, dismissed from the Malcadore's service, is roaming the battlefields of Terra and assisting where required. uk and send your item to: Ashdown Gaming, The Wheatsheaf, Mount Pleasant, Crowborough, TN6 2NF, United Kingdom.

This book has been long awaited and brings a conclusion to his story, again written by the man who started his story, Jame Swallow, and this book doesn’t disaapoint! I've been following the story of Nathaniel Garro since the early days of the Horus Heresy: fleeing the carnage above Istvaan V on the Eisenstein, his adventures as one of the Knights Errant and the battles he fought in the lead up to the Siege of Terra. It brings the storyline of one of the heroes of the Horus Heresy to a close, and it did so in a very satisfying way. This epic tale will be coming to you in special edition, hardback, eBook, and audiobook formats – and here’s what you can expect.Garros stories are ones I have always looked forward to, and I have been desperately waiting for this story, and it didn’t disappoint, it is a tad slow, and the book is rather short, but when it kicks off, it really goes all out.

What can I say about a man in the 30th Millennium, far in the future who we have followed through fire and death, rebirth and something more, apart from this: his story will be remembered. As the cover artwork suggests, the main attraction of the book is Garro's showdown with his gene father, the fallen Primarch of the Death Guard Legion, Mortarion. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. The characters were nowhere near the location in this book, and Keeler wouldn't be with the same companions.To watch a man struggle with "faith" to be rewarded at the end after facing his biggest bit inevitably trial was wonderful if not sad to see him go. Nathaniel Garro, the loyalist who betrayed his father Mortarion to warn the Emperor of the horrors of Isstvan, is brought face to face with the hideously changed Primarch.

James Swallow doesn't disappoint, although there are considerable issues that shouldn't have been overlooked. Since his initial contribution to the Horus Heresy series with "Flight of the Eisenstein" (2007), the author has been the primary contributor to the development of both Mortarion and Nathaniel Garro as fully-fledged, believable, and realistic characters.I don’t think it's exactly essential reading unless you really love this character arc, and it doesn’t offer up any big surprises or fundamentally change anything in the broader narrative of the Siege; if you haven’t particularly enjoyed this arc before then I don’t think it will change your opinion.

Hardcover Edition of this Novella features interior black-and-white illustrations by Mickail Savier, depicting the tenderness and friendship between Keeler and Garro, as well as the fight between Garro and Mortarion. Everything comes full circle for Garro here - including a reunion with his gene-father Mortarion and the obligatory flashbacks to fill in some of the blanks surrounding their pre-rebellion relationship. A short, but powerful and very enjoyable novella, matching the impressive works by messrs Abnett and Dembski-Bowden in the Siege of Terra series for quality. The ending hits hard, and I really think that you ought to read this story if you have been following along with his story. James Swallow finishes what he started a decade and a half ago: the story of Death Guard Legionary Nathaniel Garro.He exemplifies everything "correct" about the ideal astartes, and it's hard not to root for him while he marches toward his inevitable fate as he challenges Mortarion to one final duel of blades and ideologies.
