Book 3 in the Global best selling Horus Heresy Siege of Terra series
The war for the fate of mankind blazes on. Though the outer defences
have fallen, the walls of the Palace itself remain inviolate as Rogal
Dorn, the Praetorian of Terra himself, uses every known stratagem and
ploy to keep Horus's vast armies at bay. In Perturabo, the Traitor
siegebreaker, Dorn faces an adversary worthy of his skill. A terrible,
grinding attrition ensues. The crucial battle for the Lion's Gate
spaceport is at the heart of this conflict. With it in their possession,
the Traitors can land their most devastating weapons on Terran soil.
Dorn knows it must not fall. But with enemies attacking from within as
well as without and the stirrings of the neverborn drawn to the
slaughter, can the Imperial defenders possibly prevail?
