False Gods is a Science Fiction novel by Graham McNeill based in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, published by the Black Library and is the continuation of the story started in Horus Rising. The story is set 10,000 years before the timeframe of the Warhammer 40,000 setting, and expands upon the tale of the Horus Heresy, the galaxy's greatest civil war and the root cause of many issues in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
False Gods goes into detail about how Warmaster Horus turned to Chaos, when he is wounded by a xenos weapon wielded by a renegade Imperial governor who had become a worshipper of Nurgle. With the Warmaster hovering near death, an unorthodox method of "healing" is suggested and eventually undertaken - which leads to Horus' ultimate fall from grace.
