Reading 30k is like living history, and this is going back further than ever. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great Pre-Heresy, Pre-Great Crusade & Pre-Astartes tale *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2020* I became disillusioned with the Horus Heresy series due to the repetition, lack of advancement, & unnecessary cash-cow stories (although I’m sure many people would have enjoyed each book, depending on their preferred Legion etc, & there were some great books).Despite that, I had high hopes for this book as I’m a fan of Valdor, the Unity Wars & the Thunder Warriors. And.......it doesn’t disappoint.It contains an interesting take on the character of a “young” Valdor, a relatable protagonist with good intentions, an insight into opinions on the new “Imperium” and it’s next steps, and Thunder Warriors (nuff said). And more, but I won’t spoil it.Also, it’s a nice compact little hardback, which I didn’t expect. And the cover art is great as you can see.One star taken off because, at only 200 pages, I wanted it to be longer. Not sure if there’ll be any direct sequels, but I hope so.This book is well worth your time. Good job Chris Wraight. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The Captain-General takes centre stage. *by G***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 April 2020* Chris Wraight's, 'Valdor: Birth of the Imperium', is a novella that I have been looking forward to reading for a very long time. #valdor is one of my favourite characters from the Warhammer 40k universe and this is the first novel where he takes centre stage.Set at the end of the Unification Wars on Terra, it's not so much an origin story, but more a glimpse into the captain-general's mind at a certain point in his life. Valdor is already 'old' at this point. He has fought by the Emperor's side for over a century. Surprisingly, he has a lot less page time than I expected but captivates whenever he does appear. He also has the best lines and moments which every warhammer fan will remember for years to come. Personally I found the quiet moments with Valdor the most interesting. It is here that we get a deep insight into what it means to be a custodes. This question lies at the heart of the story.There are a number of supporting characters, each of which make for fascinating characters in their own right, considering the little space and time we get with each. By far the most interesting is Kandawire whose interactions with Valdor are the hightlight of the book, and whose own goal is justifiable.In terms of setting, the entire novella is set amid the foundations of the Imperial Palace. Having recently read 'The Lost and the Damned' and 'The First Wall' in the Siege of Terra arc, it was fascinating to see the Imperial Palace durimg its construction from the skelethon of the Lion's Gate to the Imperial Dungeon and the original purpose it served. Most of the novella takes place during a storm. A fitting event considering the book is chock-full of answers to questions that have teased warhammer fans for decades.'Valdor: Birth of the Imperium' is a must read for all 40k fans. Considering the mahor success of the Horus Heresy, I really hope that they continue to explore this earlier period in subsequent books. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/532657689-valdor-birth-of-the-imperium-horus-heresy](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/532657689-valdor-birth-of-the-imperium-horus-heresy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
