This story told from the viewpoint of the Legio Titanica Solaria (The Imperial Hunters), it is a great look at what it takes to become a Princeps for a Titan. In fact, the sheer ignorance of what is going on should be manifest in the actions of Terent Harrtek, Princeps Majoris of Legio Vulpa, when he unwittingly allows his sheer arrogance and lust for power to allow himself to undergo the profane ritual which will create the horrifying daemon-machine hybrid battle Titans used by Chaos in the 40K setting. It is also important to remember that not all those who turned traitor did so due to the worship of the Chaos Gods, though that would come in time. Also there is some interesting information about how the Mechanicum is now splitting into what will be the Loyalists calling themselves the Adeptus Mechanicus, the term by which they are known in the 40K timeline, and the Traitors becoming the Dark Mechanicum. Reading this will show why in the 40K timeline, 10K after these events, Titans are indeed rare.

Without too many spoilers, I found Sanguinius' logic about utilizing Beta-Garmon as the center-point for this Titan war, due to the catastrophic damage that would be caused by a similar conflict on Terra itself, to be quite logical. From the Scout-Class Warhounds which tend to run 15 meters, to the Reaver- Class coming in at 25 meters, all the way up to the truly intimidating Warlord-Class which can run 33 meters or more- these machines are game changers on a battle field and this is proven in this story.Д«ut I was very excited when they finally showed the true 'God-Machines', the Imperator-Class Titans that are an awe inspiring 55 meters or more. Depending on the size, it is piloted by a Princeps and crewed by several to a dozen other Moderati. This war for Beta-Garmon will not only have elements of the Traitor Astartes and Traitor Imperial Guard but it also involves the Dark Mechanicum and the Traitor Titan Legions.ДЄ Titan, or God-Machine, is a massive combat walker that is worshipped by the Mechanicus. However, Horus is well aware of this and sounded the death knell for the system. If the Loyalists can stop Horus' armies at Beta-Garmon, then they will not be able to move onto Terra. The Heresy is raging on and the Beta-Garmon system is the next victim of the conflict. Titandeath was not only a great story, it was very instructive in furthering my knowledge about the Collegia Titanica. Sadly it not happened, but having read Graham McNeill's Storm of Iron years ago, I already know when and where the Dark Titan and its crew are making their triumphal comeback.ДЄ must read for Titans and Mechanicus fans and a good Horus Heresy novel, just not as good as I was expecting for.

Just loved the ending with the Titans funeral, Nuntio Dolores turning at last in the first fully developed Chaos Titan, Malcador finally announcing the beginning of the end, and Princeps majoris Harrtek being unable to rise hands on Magos Ardim Protos was a sort of a great Directive 4 Robocop easter-egg, but the chapters starring loyalist Primarchs, with Dorn staging the Titandeath of both sides on Beta Garmon just to make them not lay waste to the Throneworld later, giving the Ultramarines time to arrive, and Sanguinius fighting reckless and winning against an Imperator-class titan at the cry of 'I do not die here today', because foreboding of his own fate at the Warmaster's hands is his strongest weapon of all, just shadowed for good main storyline for me.ДЄnd when at last infamous Legio Mortis was deployed on the battlefield, I was waiting for Dies Irae Titan, missing from the series since book three, popping up in this novel. Penultimate volume of the Horus Heresy saga before the Siege of Terra ending is a good insight about newborn Adeptus Mechanicus and its traitorous counterpart of the Dark Mechanicum or, from their point of view, the True Mechanicum.ДЄn action-packed tale focusing on the clash in Beta Garmon system, last barrier before Horus final march on Terra, between loyalist Titans Legio Solaria (aka Imperial Hunters) and its long time nemesis, former allied, Legio Vulpa (aka Death Stalkers), with a nearly romantic sub-plot in the middle and lots of Titan vs Titan mayhem, with the giant Machine-Gods fighting under downpours, meteor rains and much more. вЂThe armies of the Warmaster attack the Garmon Cluster with unmatched fury. I would gladly sacrifice many more than the worlds of the Garmon Cluster for that. 'Sanguinius and the Khan must buy Roboute time.
