Primarchs Book 8, by Chris Wraight
The Primarchs stride across the Horus Heresy as giants (both litteral and metaphorical), being the centre piece of many of the books – although often at a distance or through the eyes of others. The Primarch (Horus Heresy) series brings stories from each of these giants and gives more background for each of the Emperor’s children.
From the book:
For long years, the White Scars have fought for the Imperium, bringing worlds to compliance. But when a new project, to embed psykers in the Space Marine Legions, seems likely to come to fruition, Jaghatai Khan must decide if he will comply…
Chris Wraight returns to the Khan of Khans with a tale set at the height of the Great Crusade and showing the momentous decisions that, in some ways, led to the darkest events of the Horus Heresy.
The White Scars are the fastest of all legions… going ahead of the Great Crusade and causing the logisticians great difficulty to keep up with. And at the head of this horde is Jaghatai Khan.
The White Scars also use Librarians and so the Khan of Khans is heading for a clash with his brothers and the emperor prior to the council of Nikaea. He tries to talk with the Warmaster, the Great Angel and Magnus in order to keep his precious Librarians.
This is a good introduction to the White Scars, their structure and – usefully – their Primarch. He is at the centre of many of the scenes and, as such, this is a good addition to the Primarch series – especially for those (like me) who only know Jaghatai from his appearances in the Siege of Terra.
