Today we have a special guest post from a long time friend, Deano, who has done up a book review of the very first of the HH novels, Horus Rising. Although this novel has been out for a while, it ages well and this review still serves good for those looking to get into the heresy world - it will certainly leave a hook in and leave you for want of more.
Enjoy!

The Spark of Heresy
G'day all,
By way of introduction, my name is Deano and I share the uncontrollably
rampant resin addiction that infects my fellow friends in the AGIF crew. I've
been in the hobby on and off for 15 years now, my brother and I first going
halves in a third edition 40k starter set a few weeks before the Sydney
Olympics at the turn of the millennium. When you compare this to the preserved
Space Crusade box sitting in Keepy's hobby cupboard and Spraggy's war stories
of "genestealer cults" in the "Rogue Trader days," it goes
without saying that I am betraying my age (mostly the sheer lack of it) in
comparison to these long fanged (and tea addicted!) veterans.
However, my enthusiasm for the hobby was massively revived at the tail end
of 5th edition. Throughout the process of moving to the far north in 2011 and
integrating into the local hobby community, I individually met what would later
become the AGIF crew, both past and present
