Synopsis
Publisher's Summary Siege of Terra Book 3. The outer defences have fallen, and the walls of the Imperial Palace await the Traitors. Perturabo is determined to tear down the mighty edifices his brother and bitter rival Rogal Dorn has built - but first he must take the Lion's Gate Spaceport, so that his heaviest weapons can land. Listen to it because: It's time for Rogal Dorn's defences get their real test - the attention of Perturabo and the Iron Warriors. The irresistible force meets the immovable object - and carnage ensues. The story: The war for the fate of mankind blazes on. Though the outer defences have fallen, the walls of the Palace itself remain inviolate as Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian of Terra himself, uses every known stratagem and ploy to keep Horus' vast armies at bay. In Perturabo, the Traitor siegebreaker, Dorn faces an adversary worthy of his skill. A terrible, grinding attrition ensues. The crucial battle for the Lion's Gate spaceport is at the heart of this conflict. With it in their possession, the Traitors can land their most devastating weapons on Terran soil. Dorn knows it must not fall. But with enemies attacking from within as well as without and the stirrings of the neverborn drawn to the slaughter, can the Imperial defenders possibly prevail? Written by Gav Thorpe Running time 12 hours 49 minutes. Narrated by Jonathan Keeble. ©2020 Games Workshop Limited (P)2020 Games Workshop Limited

Enjoyed this one so much. All the side stories of the normal people that make up Terra makes the world so rich. Some times when it is just all Uber space marines it's gets a little dry. Can't wait for the next one.
After the second book, I hoped the series had finally hit it's stride. Instead we get this jaw-droppingly boring monstrosity full to the brim with filler and little to no action. I stuck to it as much as I could, but I gave up shortly into the second part. The plot never goes anywhere. The characters are never developed. NOTHING HAPPENS!!! GW/BL really messed up when they decided to break the siege of Terra into so many books. There just isn't enough plot/content to do it.
Jonathan Keeble delivers yet another amazing performance qnd brings all characters to life with passion. I loved this book.
Some people complain about the story of the imperial soldiers. It does have an unusual payoff, but it makes sense for the theme. Listen to this book for some good Primarch moments, more on the beginnings the imperial cult, and to gain insight to the timeline of the ground siege.All together its good. Not one of the top books, but I can't recommend skipping it.
It may be to late to pull him, as he wrote this book and the next unreleased one. This one did nothing but reduce the amount of enjoyable books in the series. I hoped the siege series would have been reserved for the A++ writers but McNeil and Thorpe found their way in and underdelivered. Excellent narration. I have listened to all of the other siege books twice. This and fury of magnus or regretfully meh.
Ya blew it, Gav. We get it, your best work is comedy and intrigue, but this key event deserved better. Found my attention wandering until Keeble starts making the old man voice again. Zenobody couldn't carry the story if it were printed on a battle standard.
This was a great book, and a good continue from the first two of the Siege of Terra!
hate to say anything bad about it, but this definitely was not one of my favorites. Story jumped around too much and they added in too much filler. I found myself skipping certain parts. There were some accents Keeble should not do.Overall book was ok and not what I expected.
love most horus harrasy books this one is just boring. alot of story lines that just suck and are not intresting. worst book in series in my opinion.
could not finish. 140 pages are dedicated to a concscript riding a train. a side story with no payoff whatsoever. a major stain on the siege of terra series. although im sure the rest will be as great as the first two. just a symptomof a weak author attempting to stand alongside giants like wright and bowden
