Worst Warhammer 40k Story Idea Ever?

[Lathe Biosas]

THE PERPETUAL PARADOX

A Warhammer 40,000 Novel

 

THE GREATEST SECRETS OF THE HERESY WERE NEVER MEANT TO SURVIVE.

 

For ten thousand years, the Imperium has endured beneath the shadow of the Emperor's greatest failure.

 

Now, that failure is about to be repeated.

 

When the immortal John Grammaticus is cast into the Era Indomitus, he discovers that Belisarius Cawl has enacted a final contingency hidden since the Siege of Terra itself: the Primarch Ascendant Project, a secret endeavour to create a new generation of Primarchs from perfected gene-stock recovered from the Emperor's lost vaults.

 

But another relic of the Age of Darkness has returned.

 

Erda.

 

Haunted by the consequences of scattering the Emperor's sons, she is determined that no new Primarchs will ever walk the galaxy. To prevent mankind from repeating its oldest tragedy, she must forge an uneasy alliance with the one man who has witnessed every turning point in humanity's forgotten history.

 

Only the Ultramarines stand in their way.

 

Summoned from the Warp by a vision from the Emperor Himself, Supreme Grand Master Kaldor Draigo uncovers a truth concealed since the founding of the Chapter: Marneus Calgar was never chosen to lead the Ultramarines. He was the Grey Knights' first failed Supreme Grand Master, his memories erased by Malcador and his destiny rewritten to preserve the Imperium's final hope.

 

As Guilliman struggles to reconcile the revelations of the past with the desperate necessities of the present, ancient loyalties fracture. The Ultramarines march to defend Cawl's work. The Grey Knights prepare to destroy it. Across the stars, Chaos gathers to claim a new generation of demigod  before either side can prevail.

 

The truth of the Horus Heresy was only the beginning.

 

The final chapter of the Emperor's greatest secret is about to be written.
