Description
Horus’s armada gathers, and he has defeated all enemies sent against him, even the Emperor’s own executioner. One barrier remains before he can strike for Terra and lay waste to the Emperor’s dream.
The Beta Garmon system occupies the most direct and only viable route to the Solar System and Terra. To break it, Horus assembles a war host of incredible proportions and Titans in untold numbers. To lose here is to lose the war and Horus has no intention of turning back. But the Imperium understands the importance of Beta Garmon too. A massive army is arrayed, comprised of near numberless Army cohorts and a mustering of Titans to challenge even the martial might of the Warmaster.
Titans fight against Titans as the God Machines of Loyalists and Traitors alike go to war. This conflict will be like no other before it, a worldending battle that will determine the next phase of the war.

I have been a bit haphazard in my reading of the Horus Heresy books and have not in followed in sequence after the first few but I deliberately left Titandeath to read straight after Mechanicum and I am glad I did because I had so much Titan Legio questions and this book did a damned good job of answering some of them, the Primarchs side story was also quite enjoyable, I am now completely up to date and have finished the first 3 siege of terra books and am awaiting the next one avidly

War and battle are the norm in the Warhammer40k universe, especially during the Horus Heresy. However, in the book, Titandeath: The God-Machines Cometh by Guy Haley we get a first-hand look at Titan Legions in battle on a grand scale. What a grand scale it is, as the Beta Garmon system is plunged into battle as the Loyalist and Traitor forces clash in a climactic struggle. The book follows the Legio Titanicus Solaria, a female-only Titan legion led Domina Princeps Mohana Mankata Vi and her daughter under her command, Princeps marjoris Esha Ani Mohana and the thoughtful Primarch, Sanguinius. Opposite of them in one of the Traitor Legion we get the point of view of Terent Harrek, a princep majoris leader full of rage. We follow these characters as they navigate the epic battles that rage across the system. We are given a sense of the grand scale in which these battles are being fought and a great look at what it takes to man a Titan. However, while the story is good, it could have been better. There is a connection between Esha and Terent that is revealed, however, it isn't explored enough within the story. If it had played more of a role in the plot it would have made the climax of this novel amazing. The pacing could be better as well as it feels like the story lags after the midpoint. That being said I still think this was a good read and I would recommend this to a lover of sci-fi or the WH40K universe.
Rating: 3.5/5 stars. Would recommend to a friend who likes Sci/fi
