Khârn eater of worlds
Publisher Description
A Chaos Space Marines Novel
The Horus Heresy is over. The World Eaters are leaderless and their greatest hero is in a coma. Poised on the brink of destruction, the Legion needs Khârn—but will his awakening save them or spell their doom?
Listen because...Khârn is one of the most iconic figures in the Warhammer 40,000 setting, the epitome of Khorne's mortal servants. In this story, you can witness his transition from the World Eaters Captain of the Horus Heresy to the blood-mad betrayer feared across the 41st Millennium.
The story: the Horus Heresy is over. The traitor Legions have scattered, fleeing the wrath of a vengeful Imperium. The World Eaters are leaderless, their primarch missing and their greatest hero, Khârn, locked in a coma. The surviving Legionaries have turned upon themselves, their Butcher's Nails driving them to ever-greater acts of berserk savagery. Poised on the brink of destruction, the Legion needs direction. It needs someone to rally around. It needs Khârn—but will his awakening save them, or doom them entirely?
Written by Anthony Reynolds. Read by Richard Reed.

Review
I read this along with Dave and Spalanz. Thanks for reading this along with me and I hope that in future we can read more together.
The World Eaters are left reeling and unguided after the Horus Heresy. Angron has vanished and the Legion is a mess because all they want to do is destroy so that they get some peace from the Butchers Nails.
I’d like to start my review off with a quote from this book:
Ruokh’s eye twitched.

Anthony Reynolds has been writing for Black Library for quite a good while now. I first came across him with his
Word Bearers
novels, which proved to be a most fascinating and weird read, and then continued on with some of his other work as he branched out of writing Word Bearers for 40K and delivered some occasional Horus Heresy stuff as well.

Anthony writes a pretty typical World Eaters novel, with all the gory vi
