The 40k Lorecast
The book was repeatedly highlighted as the most exciting and well‑written standalone entry in the Horse Heresy series, praised for its action‑packed narrative of Nathaniel Garro’s escape and its importance to 40k lore. Hosts Brad Chester and John Barsati both urged listeners to read it, noting its strong storytelling and its role in setting the stage for the Imperium, while also mentioning that later novels tended to decline in quality. Overall, the discussion conveyed strong endorsement of the title.

It was mentioned as a good book in the Horus Heresy series, focusing on the Death Guard and their events, particularly the rift between Mortarian and Typhus. The book was referenced in relation to the Death Guard's conversion to Nurgle's service.
Van Boyer over this, what might be the best book in the entire series?
It's pretty sweet.
The honest read flight devised in Stein, spoiler alert.
I really encourage everybody this listening. Read the deathguard novels, read the horse hair scene novels of that involve the flight and everything else.
Now the next cast we're going to be doing great nights in flight devise andstein.
Episode: Episode 8 - Horus invades and the Imperium tries t...
The Horus Heresy books were referenced as a source of information for the podcast episode, specifically regarding the Siege of Terra and the characters involved in the conflict. The speakers mentioned repeatedly consulting the books for details on events and characters.
For those who read the books, you really should read the books of Marisande
If you read the story it's a lot more dynamic
For those who are not aware, one of the moons of Jupiter is Titan. It's not there anymore.
I honestly have read this five times and went I don't follow and moved on with my day
If you've read the early Horus Heresy books and have read the later Horus Heresy books but play modern 40k and say hey why this really important character from the novel not in 40k this battle, that is true, everyone dies.
Episode: Episode 4 - Heresy makes its move
The podcasters discussed this book in detail, focusing on the escape of Tarvitz and Garo from Istvan III aboard the Eisenstein, their broadcast warning other loyalists of the impending virus bombing, their subsequent battle with traitorous crewmembers, and their harrowing escape through the warp, where they encountered Nurgle's forces and became plague marines.
I honestly I read the book a couple times and I went in my head kept calling the Einstein and then I was when I researched and realized I missed an s it is the Eisenstein not the Einstein.
the flight of the islstein is a novel very good book at that so we're gonna spend some time on this for a lot of very good reasons
Episode: Episode 3 - Heresy Rises - Horus Heresy Pt1
It was described as the basis of the game, detailing the huge civil war that split the galaxy and shaped the Imperium into what it is in the 40k universe. The speakers mentioned it as the most exciting part of the 40k lore.
Late 90s when I first found out about 40k, I read The Horus Heresy which is the basis of the game.
Everything that they did is the huge civil war that split the galaxy broke the Empire broke slash made the Imperium to what it is right now and set the stage for literally the game of 40k. This is what it's based off.
This is probably the most exciting lore in the game.
I think my perspective is a smart move he decides not to hand the reins of the empire over to his what I'm going to call mutant children because they are he instead hands the reins to mankind
please read the Horus Areses novels
Episode: Episode 54 - The Grey Knights pt 1 - The Flight of...
It was described as the most exciting book of the Horus Heresy, a well-written action-packed standalone tale focusing on Nathaniel Garro's journey back to Terra, though the quality of subsequent books was noted to drop off significantly.
On today's cast we start our coverage of the Grey Knights by focusing on their origin from the Horus Heresy. We open with, arguably the most exciting book of the Horus Heresy the Flight of the Eisenstein.
Yeah, so it's like my favorite story.
I felt was as a very well-written action pack you need the other information unfortunately for it. But once you set them that's what I'm saying is the horse rising sets the stage. But like as a standalone tale, this is fantastic.
Literally, I have one complaint in the flight of Eisenstein. It's not the book. It's the complaint that the drop-off after flight of Eisenstein is pretty aggressive. Like if you read the books in order you read flight of Eisenstein and you are super excited.
