For I have, at long last, come to the end of the epic Horus Heresy.
I read the first book in the series, Horus Rising, back in 2013. I had not read any science fiction before this (I had mainly read historical fiction and history books) – but having heard good things about the book, I decided to give it a go.
I was very pleasantly surprised. I was hooked, even. It felt like a modern-day Iliad and Odyssey – and this is still how I would describe it.
Demigods, brotherly rivalries, the ambition of the God Emperor, a galaxy in flames. Epic stuff indeed!
Finishing this last book, I felt a sense of nostalgia hit me. I also felt a sense of gratitude to the authors of the series (primarily Dan Abnett and Aaron Dembski-Bowden) for their inspiring work.

In December 2021, Sebi officials had conducted a search and seizure operation at the premises of certain persons carrying out similar manipulative activities through Telegram channels. Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred." For tech stocks, “the main thing is yields,” Essaye said. The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych.
