About this listen

It is the 41st millennium, and an upstart alien empire has emerged on the Eastern Fringe. After a few skirmishes to retake human worlds from these blue-skinned invaders, the time has come to strike against the so-called Tau Empire.

At the forefront of the Damocles Crusade stand the Ultramarines, commanded by Captain Atheus, the Chapter's Lord Executioner. With his loyal sergeants Numitor and Sicarius by his side, Atheus vows to exterminate the aliens...but the cunning xenos commanders, Farsight and Shadowsun, have other plans.

A series called Space Marine Battles features space marines, and battles. This really shouldn't come as a surprise.

This Audiobook was so immensely large in scale I am impressed at the detail and finness in many situations in which scenarios were handled. Not only were the characters largely fleshed out, but so were the arenas of battle and weapons of war.

Epic in Scale, Precise in Detail

enjoyed the story. John banks is always a good narrator.

just wish the stories weren't so scattered. little piece of a tau story here, little bit of eldar there. But can never sink you teeth into the full story like the beast arises.

also DO THE FARSIGHT SERIES FOR AUDIBLE!!!!!

good place to start for tau stories

absolutely fantastic adventure. fans of farsight/tau lore should pick it up. sicarius is as ridiculous (and awe inspiring) as ever.

farsights legacy is a great story for an anti-hero of the tau'va and this book leads well into the first farsight novel (not on audible...yet hint hint).

narration is the among the best of the tau audio. a lot of other stuff leans too heavily on older lore inspiration, instead of the the more recent established lexicography

more Phil Kelly and tau pls
