Prospero Burns by Dan Abnett is the fifteenth novel in the Horus Heresy Series. It describes the Burning of Prospero from the perspective of Leman Russ and his Space Wolves, thus forming the second part of the duology with A Thousand Sons (Novel) by Graham McNeill.
The novel was originally scheduled to be published in April 2010. However due to author Dan Abnett being diagnosed with epilepsy, the publication date was moved back to January 2011.[2]
Prospero Burns reached number 16 on the New York Times best-seller list in the paperback best sellers mass-market fiction section. This was the first time a Black Library novel made in into the top 20.[1]
