Honour To The Dead – Audio Book Review

Black Library Honour To The Dead

Honour To The Dead is a 75 minute Horus Heresy Audio Drama from Black Library, which ties into the story arc surrounding the Word Bearers attack on the Ultramar plant of Cath. I enjoyed Mark of Calth quite a lot (my Review Part 1 and Part 2), so I thought of this as a great […]
