stokecity_m Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I've had a quick look but haven't found what i was looking for. I'd like to know the order in which it's best to read any/all the books about the Horus Heresy.

Khestra the Unbeheld Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 That depends. If you want to start from earliest time of publication, start with Horus Rising. If you want it in actual chronological order of events it's going to be much more difficult because the books jump forward and backward in time.

Raven Angel Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I think that order of publication is probably best. The timeline is really convoluted and I couldn't begin to reorder them .

alex567 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'd recommend reading fallen angels strait after descent of angels, follows the same characters so is easier to understand what they're talking about if you do.

Apothecary Vaddon Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 IIRC The Last Church (somebody on 1d4chan posted the entire thing up there) is the earliest piece of fluff in terms of the entire in-universe continuity.
