Description
As the Horus Heresy divides the Imperium, Corax and his few remaining Raven Guard escape the massacre at Isstvan V. Tending to their wounds, the bloodied Space Marines endeavour to replenish their numbers and return to the fray, taking the fight to the traitor Warmaster. Distraught at the crippling blow dealt to his Legion, Corax returns to Terra to seek the aid of his father – the Emperor of Mankind. Granted access to ancient secrets, Corax begins to rebuild the Raven Guard, planning his revenge against his treacherous brother primarchs. But not all his remaining warriors are who they appear to be… the mysterious Alpha Legion have infiltrated the survivors and plan to destroy the Raven Guard before they can rebuild and threaten Horus’s plans.

Good read
4By xion-azReally enjoyable, though Corvax acts too naive relative to his ostensible intelligence. The Alpha Legion appears unstoppable.Strong Open, But...
2By Joshuabee**********POSSIBLE SPOILERS, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED********** For how awesome the source material for the Raven Guard is, this book really got away from the author into left field. Anyone who's even slightly familiar with 40k knows there's precisely zero chance the Corax will not develop super soldiers that turn the tide of the Heresy, which pretty much ruins all the tension in the main plot. Beyond that disappointment, however, is the sheer dull-mindedness displayed by Corax and his Raven Guard. The ease with which they are fooled (I won't ruin the specifics), is downright ridiculous and makes what should have been a goddamn awesome read a boring slog. Overall a bummer of a book following the letdown that was Outcast Dead. At least They Shall Know No Fear turned out to be awesome, you can always count on Abnett!Excellent
5By JohnnyH104The Horus Heresy series continues in one of the best in the series.
