It is a look at the war behind the war, the covert operations undertaken by the opposing sides in order to influence the visible conflict. Nemesis is set about two years after the events on Isstvan V described in Book 5, Fulgrim. The Space Wolves, accompanied by other Imperial forces, are to bring Magnus and his Legion to Terra to account for themselves. The Emperor is enraged and orders Leman Russ, Primarch of the 6th Legion (the "Space Wolves"), to Prospero, the Thousand Sons Legion's in‑series home world. However, he overreaches with his powers and damages the vital and secret project the Emperor is undertaking (Book 1), endangering the safety of Terra itself in the process. He tries – again through sorcery – to warn the Emperor, believing that the gravity of the news justifies his disobedience. Then, around the time of Horus' corruption (Book 2), Magnus learns through sorcery of his brother's impending betrayal. Following a reprimand by the Emperor for dabbling in sorcery, Magnus and his Legion secretly continue to study the forbidden subjects. They get involved in the fight against a growing insurgency that seeks to free the planet from under the Imperium's thumb.Ī Thousand Sons is the story of Primarch Magnus and the "Thousand Sons" Space Marines, the 15th Legion it mainly takes place before the Heresy begins. It tells two stories: one concerns the effort of Primarch Lion El'Jonson and a small group of Dark Angels to deny a forge world (a planet devoted to manufacturing, especially of weapons) to Horus' forces the other is the story of Luther (Lion El'Jonson's second), Zahariel El'Zurias (by now a full Space Marine), and a Dark Angels contingent sent back to Caliban, the Dark Angels Legion home world. The novel starts around the time of Book 6's conclusion, about 50 years before the Heresy, but forwards to just about the time of the Heresy's beginning in the opening chapters. Fallen Angels continues the Dark Angels tale begun in Book 6, Descent of Angels.
