Po tisících let expanzí a konkvist je lidské Impérium na vrcholu. Císař, který dosáhl svého snu pro lidstvo, předá otěže moci svému vrchnímu veliteli Horovi a zamíří zpátky na Terru. Je ale Horus dost silný, aby ovládl svoje velitele a pokračoval v císařových velkých plánech, nebo dopustí, aby ho moc zkorumpovala?
Román Falešní bohové pojednává o Horově pádu. V komplikovaném spiknutí zosnovaném přívrženci Chaosu je Horus na měsíci planety Davin zraněn cizáckou, Chaosem otrávenou zbraní. Jeho poručíci jej v zoufalé snaze o jeho záchranu odnesou do chrámu na Davinu. Chrám je však tajně zasvěcen Chaosu a jeho služebníci se postarají, aby se Horus zdánlivě vyléčil, ve skutečnosti však jen ještě více podlehne zhoubnému působení své rány. Nakonec se postaví proti svému „otci", Císaři. Horovo odpadlictví pak spustí sled událostí, které změní galaxii navždy.
Když se vojevůdce Horus zotavil ze svých strašlivých zranění, vytáhl s vítězícím imperiálním vojskem proti vzbouřené planetě Isstvan III. Vzbouřenecké síly byly rychle rozdrceny, avšak vzápětí vyšla na povrch Horova zrada, když byla planeta vybombardována virovými pumami i s vojáky Impéria. Hvězdná pěchota se v trpkém boji obrátí proti svým válečným bratrům.
Poté, co byl velitel Sedmé roty Gardy smrti bitevní kapitán Garro svědkem událostí na Ištvanu III a uvědomil si, do jaké hry byl bez svého vědomí zatažen, zmocní se fregaty Eisenstein a vydá se na Terru varovat Císaře před Horovou zradou. Cestou je však jeho loď poškozena nepřátelskou palbou a uvízne ve warpu. Dokáže Garro a jeho muži přežít v prostředí Chaosu a stihnou varovat Terru včas?

Nach langen Jahrtausenden der Finsternis und der Konflikte haben die Armeen des Imperators der Menschheit in einem Großen Kreuzzug von noch nie dagewesenen Ausmaßen eine Welt nach der anderen zurückerobert. Die Space-Marine-Legionen etablierten sich als die mächtigste Militärstreitmacht, die jemals unter einem geeinten Banner marschiert war, und jede von ihnen wurde von einem der gottgleichen Primarchs angeführt - den scheinbar unsterblichen Söhnen des Imperators. Die Menschheit schien bereit, erneut über die Sterne zu herrschen. Doch dann kam Horus. Der edle Kriegsherr und verabscheute Erzverräter.
