The Solar War (The Siege of Terra #1)

By: John French

4.03

Format: 407 pages, Hardcover

Siege of Terra Book 1 After years of devastating war, Horus and his forces have arrived at Terra…

"Run... Run, father, and know that I'm coming. Run!" - Warmaster Horus"

-John French, The Solar War (The Siege of Terra #1)

"It is not often that we get to learn from the mistakes of the past." Rogal Dorn"

-John French, The Solar War (The Siege of Terra #1)

"At the root of your lies, is there any truth, father?’ The darkness becomes a forest, dark trunks reaching to an untouchable sky, roots crawling out and down into the abyss beneath. The man on the chair is sitting on the snow-covered ground, a fire burning before Him. A shadow moves out of the dark between the trees. It is huge, sable-furred and silver-eyed. It drags its shadow with it as it comes forwards. It pauses on the edge of the light. ‘You claim to be a man,’says the wolf, ‘but that is a lie revealed to any that can see you here. You deny you wish godhood, but you raise up an empire to praise you. You call yourself the Master of Mankind, and perhaps that is the only truth you ever spoke – that you wish to make your children slaves."

-John French, The Solar War (The Siege of Terra #1)
