just finished the book, thought it was a good insight in to how Ahriman went down the path of damnation.
It's hard to tell what time frame they are in, as the Inquisition now exists, and Cadia has long since been set as to the gate to the Eye (I love the irony there). But Ahriman is not the Ahriman we know in M40K by any means. The book almost humanizes Ahriman and makes him a sympathetic character.
I also like how he comes across gaining his armor!

I'm not certain if it was intentional, but I like the classical Greek meaning of Horkos: Beguilement/ confusion.
Ahriman eludes that the ship, the Titan Child, and the corrupted Magos Carmenta, were meant to become something. What exactly???
What freakin chapter is Astraeos and his brothers from????
