Thankfully for us, Unremembered Empire proves to be anything but an excuse to try and have the Ultramarines show off again; and is an excellent novel. However, when he does get characters right, he gets them right. Guilliman is well and truly fleshed out as a character in this book, and for all accounts and purposes, he’s the main character. We’ve never really had a Primarch take the role of a main character before in the Horus Heresy novels (although I’m still yet to read Betrayer), and whilst we’ve had them take center stage for a while (The titular character of Fulgrim, for example), they’ve never really felt like the one main character and it’s here where that impact is really felt. Guilliman is the driving force behind the narrative and he’s pulled off wonderfully well. I wish Curze would just die! Their also seems to finally be some resolution about Vulkan and his fate.

INQUISITION SPOILER ALERT: This article contains plot points from various Horus Heresy stories, including: ‘The Lion’, ‘Vulkan Lives’, ‘The Unremembered Empire’, ‘Pharos’ and ‘Angels of Caliban’. Read on at your own risk…

Lo que nos cuenta. El libro El imperio olvidado (publicación original: The Unremembered Empire, 2013 ) nos lleva hasta Macragge, capital de los mundos de Ultramar, donde el desarrollo de la Herejía de Horus y el aislamiento de otros mundos, en especial de Terra, por una tormenta de disformidad de un tamaño e intensidad sin precedentes, hacen pensar a Roboute Gulliman que quizá el imperio haya desaparecido y el propio emperador pueda estar muerto, por lo que piensa en comenzar una nueva organización imperial para salvar lo que pueda quedar del anterior y lo hace sin superiores ni iguales a los que consultar o con los que valorar el asunto. En circunstancias normales, ese comportamiento sería herético, pero si le sumamos que la traición entre Marines Espaciales acecha por todas partes, que también usa tecnología alienígena para buscar soluciones a la situación y que aprueba el uso de legionarios Astartes con poderes psíquicos ante la amenaza del Caos, todo junto hace que su comportamiento pueda ser todavía más sospechoso a ojos de los leales. Vigésimo séptimo libro de la saga La Herejía de Horus.

This is a story that forces us in Britain to rethink our deeply held traditions that come to the front of our minds this week and still have the power to affect our national mood, including the capacity to soothe, even momentarily, the chaos and fractures of Brexit Britain. We can’t say that we remember all our war dead with honour and dignity and yet exclude a third of a million people who died in their own continent serving Britain. Next week, as I lay my wreath in Tottenham, I will be remembering them all. In Dar Es Salaam, what was a large carrier corps cemetery is now a dusty wasteland with no markings. How that was allowed to happen is suggested in War Graves Commission meeting minutes from shortly after the war, found by Barrett, which states that the governor for the area “considered that the vast carrier corps cemeteries at Dar Es Salaam and elsewhere should be allowed to revert to nature as speedily as possible”. in such strength' she replied, 'that he could have been a serious threat, had he not come peacefully'. The Night Lords saw this threat and fell upon Sotha. The battle was fierce and bloody, claiming many lives, including that of Dantioch, who sacrificed himself to overload the Pharos, taking a host of Night Lords with him. Ultramarines and Dark Angels relief forces dealt with the survivors and Sotha was reinforced, though the power of the Pharos was permanently reduced. Some suggest that the blazing beacon created by the overloading also drew the attention of something deep in the void between galaxies, a great devourer that would threaten the Imperium ten millennia later… I distinctly remember the grand assembly when the Lion first arrives and is greeted by the honour guard, including TWO...yes...TWO Imperators!Roboute Guilliman — Primarch of the XIII Legion ' Ultramarines', Lord of the Five Hundred Worlds, now know as 'the Avenging Son

Respect has to be given to those that have aided Dan in paving the way up to this novel and also kept him straight with maintaining continuity, but Dan has to take a bow as well. What he has done is produced not just a great book but also opened the door for the next stage of the Horus Heresy series.

Guilliman felt that if he declared himself Imperium Secundus' new ruler, it would diminish him in the eyes of those who yet respected him, and it would simply confirm the doubts of all those who did not -- taking advantage of this crisis and naming himself their king. They would say that the Lord Macragge displayed unseemly eagerness, jumping in to take unwholesome advantage of the situation.
