Read it because

This novel introduces Nathaniel Garro, Battle-Captain of the Death Guard, one of the most important loyalist heroes of the whole saga. His choices aboard the Eisenstein shape everything that follows, and his journey continues through many later books of the Horus Heresy.

The story

Having witnessed the treachery of Warmaster Horus and of his own Primarch Mortarion, Garro learns of the horror being prepared on Isstvan III, where loyal Astartes are about to be betrayed by their own brothers. Determined to warn the Emperor, he seizes the frigate Eisenstein with a handful of loyal warriors and flees the traitor fleet. But escape comes at a price: the ship is left stranded in the warp, adrift among nightmares, while its desperate crew fights to survive long enough to bring the news of the betrayal to Terra.

Between the cold corridors of a doomed starship and the howling madness of the immaterium, James Swallow delivers a tense story where duty and brotherhood are put to the ultimate test, and where a single act of defiance can change the course of history.
