As the Emperor grew older His powers began to manifest themselves and become more potent and He gradually remembered His thousands of past lives, adding all of their knowledge and experience to His own. Aaron Dembski-Bowden is a titan of the Warhammer 40,000 setting, writing some of the most well received and loved books, enshrining himself safely alongside the likes of veterans Abnett, King, and McNeil. Plus, it doesn't help that it retcons his overarching plan for humanity and psykers as well, though i'm not sure how much was down to ABD himself and how much was down to prior authors. The Emperor's Great Work, to secure use of the Eldar webway for mankind and eliminate their reliance on the Warp is hanging on by its fingernails. It tries to treat it as a very one-sided affair, something he only permitted to retain their loyalty, and in the case of Angron something he did to give him another weapon.
So, they believe that Master of Mankind helpfully strengthens their beliefs, while everyone else who believes the Imperium has a chance (albeit, small) are incredibly annoyed by this position, which has led to arguments between the two camps. Khorne was the first of the four major Chaos Gods to wake fully, and an era of wars and conflict soon raged across the globe to herald his birth.The Imperium's rule, carried on in the Emperor's name since the end of the Horus Heresy by the High Lords of Terra and a multitude of Imperial organisations, has been long, oppressive and necessarily harsh. The stage is set for the dogged defenders’ last stand, and both setting and atmosphere are rendered beautifully. United under one government, Mankind is able to survive the myriad deadly threats it faces from aliens, the forces of Chaos and the Traitors, Heretics and mutants that lie within the Imperium's boundaries. On a related note, the ending to Game of Thrones season 1 caused me throw my wine glass at the TV screen.
They're certainly not poorly written by any measure and he definitely knows how to tell a pretty picture and set up neat characters, but most of his works are about as unpredictable and standard as a romantic comedy, the twists being as unsurprising to me as the third act breakup in those as a quick example. His two previous Heresy novels, The First Heretic and Betrayer, both took previously unlikable or one dimensional legions and transformed them into some of the most complex and multi-layered takes on the traitor Space Marines. The Chaos Gods, however, sought to thwart the Emperor's grand plan even before His gene-sons' gestation within His subterranean genetic laboratories deep beneath the future Imperial Palace on Old Earth were complete. The narrative follows a few plotlines – gathering a ragtag army, shoring up Terra’s defences and attempting to repel an insidious menace that seems impervious to all weapons – and they all seamlessly fuse into a dramatic finale.
Later, the boy who would become the Emperor calmly approached His uncle and stopped his heart with a slight use of His telekinetic psychic abilities, displaying neither sorrow nor malice for the deed. Whether this ability of the Perpetuals came about naturally or was artificially induced by some outside faction is unknown, but the Emperor was present during the time of Humanity's prior star-spanning civilisation in the period now named the Age of Technology by Imperial historitors.
So, we had to replace them, but hopefully we won't have to do that again after our last replacement. The Space Marines drove alien slavers from the moons of Saturn and Jupiter and most importantly, achieved peace and the eventual integration of Imperial Terra with the ruling Mechanicum of Mars.

There is a twist near the very end that I wasn't expecting at all which connects nicely with some lore that's been around for decades. Beginning at that time, and with the aid of his great friend and collaborator Malcador the Sigillite, the Emperor undertook a series of military campaigns against all the other techno-barbarian warlords on the planet that would collectively later become known as the " Unification Wars. There's some suggestions that the Emperor realises they might be linked, or even bend a mind towards, the Ruinous Powers, but does nothing because their failings would supposedly be offset by their killing potential. Land is portrayed as a man who is at odds with the very institution he is a part of, holding little reverence for anything, even the Emperor.
Some could argue he might have wanted some of that unyielding ferocity to exist to confront the worst of threats, but the truth is little actually makes real sense. I finished the book in just a matter of days and at no point did I really want to put it down, just you know, real life stuff demanded that I didn't spend my whole time reading. At some time after His father's murder, He left His village for the "first city of Humanity," likely one of the Sumerian city-states of ancient Mesopotamia. It is known that He had been born an immortal Perpetual and ancient even before His ascension to the Golden Throne over 10,000 Terran years ago. That said, and there is a "but" here, as much as it amplifies his strengths it amplifies a few irritating points of his writing.Despite His best efforts to promote peace and harmony across Old Earth, the instinctive values of martial honour, ambition, defiance, and self-satisfaction could never be eradicated from the Human character.
