A Listmania! list by TooNu "TooNu" (Sweden)
 
Horus Rising (The Horus Heresy)
1.  Horus Rising (The Horus Heresy) by Dan Abnett
The list author says:
  "Dan Abnett is awesome. It is hard not to be biased towards the best author in the Black Library. This book sets the baddest of monster stories loose and into your imagination."

False Gods (The Horus Heresy)
2.  False Gods (The Horus Heresy) by Graham McNeill
The list author says:
  "The second book ties in perfectly with the first, despite being written by McNeil. It is superb and flawless and brilliant and you will want to read it."

Galaxy in Flames (The Horus Heresy)
3.  Galaxy in Flames (The Horus Heresy) by Ben Counter
The list author says:
  "After reading this one, you could quite happily stop reading the entire series. Which would be a mistake on your part. It rounds off the major turning point in the HH and will have you coming back."

The Flight of the Eisenstein (The Horus Heresy)
4.  The Flight of the Eisenstein (The Horus Heresy) by James Swallow
The list author says:
  "IMO the forth book is the 3rd best book in the HH. It's so full of myth and legend that you feel as if the story was real. It has some of the most "nail biting" moments, and Garro is awesome."
£7.99   Used & New from: £1.68
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

Fulgrim (The Horus Heresy)
5.  Fulgrim (The Horus Heresy) by Graham McNeill
The list author says:
  "What is eventually an incredibly sad tale of Fulgrim, this story really gives you a behind the scenes look at one of the major characters of the HH. From an outsiders view."
£4.31   Used & New from: £1.00
3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

Descent of Angels (The Horus Heresy)
6.  Descent of Angels (The Horus Heresy) by Mitchel Scanlon
The list author says:
  "The first book that had me wondering, why read this? It's part of the HH but so insignificant as it's more of a backstory of the Dark Angels than the HH. Great ending though."
£4.71   Used & New from: £0.49
2.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (57 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Legion (The Horus Heresy)
7.  Legion (The Horus Heresy) by Dan Abnett
The list author says:
  "The best book. Dan did a great job here, and shows more than just a loyalist/traitor element with great espionage and subelty. A 100% awesome book."
£4.31   Used & New from: £1.00
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (32 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Dark King and Lightning Tower (Horus Heresy)
8.  Dark King and Lightning Tower (Horus Heresy) by Dan Abnett
The list author says:
  "It's not so bad. Easy to listen to and quite fun, and definetly interesting if you want more backstory. Though Dorn sounds a bit weak compared to his brother, Curze. Yea Curze is pretty awesome."
£9.01   Used & New from: £5.88
3.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Battle for the Abyss (The Horus Heresy)
9.  Battle for the Abyss (The Horus Heresy) by Ben Counter
The list author says:
  "Ben did a great job with Galaxy in Flames but this book, well, it's not the worst but it kinda tells a story about significant things that happen in HH...that nobody cares about at the moment."
Used & New from: £2.96

Mechanicum (The Horus Heresy)
10.  Mechanicum (The Horus Heresy) by Graham McNeill
The list author says:
  "In all of the books, a regular human has a prominent role. This book takes a few of this type of character and builds an awesome book around them. A great backstory with some great "oooh" moments."
£4.31   Used & New from: £1.50
3.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (28 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Tales of Heresy (The Horus Heresy)
11.  Tales of Heresy (The Horus Heresy) by Nick Kyme
The list author says:
  "A collection of short stories from the HH can't be bad right? well it's like giving you only half a slice of a really great cake and then denying you the other half. Some decent moments, but not many."
£4.31   Used & New from: £0.01
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (24 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Fallen Angels (The Horus Heresy)
12.  Fallen Angels (The Horus Heresy) by Mike Lee
The list author says:
  "This 2nd book about the Dark Angels is un-needed, with a third on the way I am not holding my breath for something awesome. You can really do without reading this. If you must, well, I did to."
£4.31   Used & New from: £1.50
3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (26 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Raven's Flight (The Horus Heresy)
13.  Raven's Flight (The Horus Heresy) by Gav Thorpe
The list author says:
  "This comes a bit late into the series, it should have been much sooner. Gav Thorpe is not so subtle a writer either, so it's a bit simple sounding but it is pretty good."
£9.01   Used & New from: £3.49
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

A Thousand Sons (Horus Heresy)
14.  A Thousand Sons (Horus Heresy) by Graham McNeill
The list author says:
  "Yea so I am very biased towards DA's books. Really though, this is how to write a HH novel. Sad, intriguing, exciting, mysterious. Perfect blend of HH myth  and legend."
£4.71   Used & New from: £1.75
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (28 customer reviews)

Nemesis (The Horus Heresy)
15.  Nemesis (The Horus Heresy) by James Swallow
The list author says:
  "It is hard to understand how these assassins exist, why were they allowed to be written this way? Instead of killing machines, we get people of conscience. Except the Garrantine, he is pure awesome.."
£4.71   Used & New from: £1.90
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (23 customer reviews)

The First Heretic (The Horus Heresy)
16.  The First Heretic (The Horus Heresy) by Aaron Dembski-Bowden
The list author says:
  "Ladies and gents, the 2nd best book in the HH. So awesome, so well constructed, so brilliantly written, thought provoking, mysterious, eye opening and question asking. PERFECT."
£4.31   Used & New from: £2.00
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (28 customer reviews)

Oath of Moment (Horus Heresy)
17.  Oath of Moment (Horus Heresy) by James Swallow
The list author says:
  "Garro is back, Garro is awesome. He's like a one man army and he kills MANY Demons. This audio book is allright, but like the other 2, it's a bit "meh". Though if you like Garro, you will like this."
£5.41   Used & New from: £2.58
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Prospero Burns (The Horus Heresy)
18.  Prospero Burns (The Horus Heresy) by Dan Abnett
The list author says:
  "I've just finished this, and it doesn't really put you into the HH until the last 100 pages or so. It makes you wonder why you are reading this, but it IS very good and well written. Just not great."
£4.31   Used & New from: £1.26
3.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (42 customer reviews) | 3 customer discussions

Garro: Legion of One (Horus Heresy)
19.  Garro: Legion of One (Horus Heresy) by James Swallow
The list author says:
  "OH HO HO HO ! some of the acting is questionable and so is the story but the ending is worth buying this just so your mouth can gape open as you punch the air and shout "YEAA!""
£5.81   Used & New from: £2.83
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

The Age of Darkness (Horus Heresy)
20.  The Age of Darkness (Horus Heresy) by Christian Dunn
The list author says:
  "Well..It's not GREAT but 5 of these stories are enjoyable enough to read. We learn nothing about the HH from this book though. It's enjoyable enough I guess."
£4.31   Used & New from: £2.98
3.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

The Outcast Dead (Horus Heresy)
21.  The Outcast Dead (Horus Heresy) by Graham McNeill
The list author says:
  "A pretty interesting read if you are into slow starts with a great ending. Lot's of good Emperor moments and Terra backstory. Worth it alone for this."
£5.59   Used & New from: £2.51
3.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (33 customer reviews)

Deliverance Lost (Horus Heresy)
22.  Deliverance Lost (Horus Heresy) by Gav Thorpe
The list author says:
  "EASILY one of the top 5 in the series. It's a great book and I am very suprised at how much I could like a Gav Thorpe book. It's not simple, it's not dumb, it's clever and eye opening. A must read."
£5.59   Used & New from: £3.49
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

Know No Fear: The Battle of Calth (Horus Heresy)
23.  Know No Fear: The Battle of Calth (Horus Heresy) by Dan Abnett
The list author says:
  "AWESOME! Seriously great. It's tension filled from start to finish and it has everything, but everything refined into perfection. As a result I've had to redo my top 5."
£4.69   Used & New from: £2.66
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)
