Of particular interest if Horus, his fate is known to those familiar with the mythos, and its interesting to see the seeds of his future, and see him before his fall. They're still superhuman killing machines, but there are nuances to their cha=racters which help offset the bleakness of the world they inhabit. The book's setting before the more formal marine chapters known later allow a greater flexibility with the marine characters as they conduct their great crusade to stamp the Imperium's seal across the galaxy. If you're new to the universe then this probably isn't the best book to start with, as there's little introduction to the mythos. While the book is set far in history from the games' point of view, as these are the precursors to the famous space marines it didn't take long to familiarise myself with the setting. This is the first book in the long running 'Horus Heresy' series, and details the events of 10,000 years before the game. I've always been a fan of the setting, and while I don't play the games anymore, I do still enjoy reading stories. I used to be very into my Warhammer 40K with my Space Marine army, and back then the Horus Heresy was a footnote in history.
