Book 15 of "The Horus Heresy: Primarchs". Fantastic character focussed
novel featuring the Primarch of the Death Guard legion.
Once, the Galaspar System suffered under the cruel regime of the Order.
Billions of people toiled endlessly to enrich their masters, enduring
short lives of poverty, squalor and fear. But Galaspar's sins did not go
unnoticed by the Imperium, and so Death itself sentenced the Order to
annihilation. Mortarion, newly uplifted to commander of the Death Guard,
descended upon the world, and with him came a slaughter of untold
proportions. The sheer brutality of Mortarion's campaign left the
Imperium appalled. Seeking to understand its horrors, two noble
primarchs have come to Galaspar, summoning their brother to account for
his actions. But the Pale King brooks no challenge to his methods, for
when the scythe falls, it reaps a gruesome toll.
