About this listen

Audiobook 1 of the Dark Imperium trilogy.

The first phase of the Indomitus Crusade is over, and the conquering primarch, Roboute Guilliman, sets his sights on home. The hordes of his traitorous brother, Mortarion, march on Ultramar, and only Guilliman can hope to thwart their schemes with his Primaris Space Marine armies.

Listen to It Because

Experience the beginning of the Plague Wars, as the Imperium's lord regent fights to reclaim his home from the Death Guard and their daemonic allies.

The Story

Fell times have come to the galaxy. Cadia has fallen, destroyed by the onslaught of Chaos. A Great Rift in the warp has opened, and from its depths spew daemons and the horrors of Old Night.

But all hope is not lost… A hero, long absent, has returned, and with him comes the wrath of the Ultramarines reborn. Roboute Guilliman has arisen to lead the Imperium out of darkness on a crusade the likes of which has not been seen since the fabled days of the Emperor.

But never before have the forces of Ruin amassed in such numbers, and nowhere is safe from despoliation. From the dreaded Scourge Stars come the hordes of the Plaguefather, Lord Nurgle, and their pustulent eye is fixed on Macragge. As the Indomitus Crusade rages on, Guilliman races to Ultramar and a confrontation with the Death Guard.

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by John Banks.

Excellent work forwarding the universe

Enjoyable but very much about RG, in one timeline, and little tangent story telling and crossover between plot lines and characters. I’ve been spoilt by the HH Saga. I expected more.

Fantastic

Good story and lots of detail on events after Rob Guilloman comes back from terra. Chapters focussed on the primaris marines get a bit Mary Sue ish about how totally kewl primaris marines are and how woosh-crikey their new gear is …
Would recommend.

Good but a bit of an infomercial for primaris marines.

Well written, and fascinating. Not many parts of it felt boring or disengaging which is good. Would recommend.

Great book

Before this I have was listening to the book lion son of the forest so this is probably a big difference between those and I already knew a bit about the law and the resurrection of Gillerman so I didn’t see it necessary to know the other books so I thought this would be the best and so far it’s pretty good. There is three books. I thought this one was pretty good. Gillerman perspective of it is very interesting. I like a little bit of fighting though I like all the story and like kill them inside but not the fighting only a tiny bit

My third book
