It takes place in 30kish and is all space-opera military that leads up to the foundational event of the 40k universe.
The Emperor of Mankind is attempting to unite the remnants of the previous fallen Human galactic empire that had become separated for thousands of years.
To do this he created 20 genetically pretty much demigod generals to lead his armies of super soldiers. Eventually he stepped back and left the crusade to one of them Horus.
The first 3 books are about how Horus became disillusioned and eventually corrupted into betraying and turning against the Emperor.
What’s that series about? I recently found an alternate reality anthology of a Roman space program.

Ohhh. Cool! I’m thinking it was tied to the Romans. Sounds really good.
