Horus’ armada gathers, and he has defeated all enemies sent against him, even the Emperor’s own executioner. One barrier remains before he can strike for Terra and lay waste to the Emperor’s dream. The Beta-Garmon system occupies the most direct and only viable route to the Solar System and Terra. To break it, Horus assembles a war host of incredible proportions and Titans in untold numbers. To lose here is to lose the war, and Horus has no intention of turning back. But the Imperium understands the importance of Beta-Garmon too.

Disappointing voicing for the Primarchs
I think that the narrators don't do much honor to the emotions or tones of the Primarchs speeches.

Great Narration, okay story
What did you love best about Fulgrim?
The dropsite massacre, being so iconic in the heresy, is portrayed for the first time and is really quite incredible.
Would you be willing to try another book from Graham McNeill? Why or why not?
Absolutely, while Fulgrim wasn't my favourite book of his, I have read others and consider Graham McNeill to be amongst the best Black Library authors there are
Which character – as performed by David Timson – was your favorite?
I quite liked the portrayal of Eldrad Ulthran. I was curious as to how he would pull off the voice of the Eldar and I believe he did it justice
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The Istvaan V dropsite Massacre and the beheading of Ferrus Mannus
Any additional comments?
I liked the character of Fulgrim before reading this book, and now he is one of my least favourite traitor primarchs. I'm not sure what that says about the book, though.

Not my favorite, but maybe the best of the Horus Heresy.
I don't like the emperor's children or many of their characters to begin with, and this book made me dislike them more. They were prancing dandies shouting perfection perfection etc.
But! This book embraced all those annoying, offsetting, decadent, and offensive traits to make the reader hate then more and more as the book goes on. The imagery is truly top tier and while I don't like the focus of the book, it rivals Eisenhorn and Gaunt in quality. A must read if you are going through the Horus Heresy. It ties the last two books together neatly while telling its own descent into madness. And much less Lucius than the last three books. I hate that guy lol.
And David Timson did a great job too, characters were easy to tell apart.

Rough beginning for narrator
For the first 5 or so hours I was zoning out or lost. No matter the situation the narrator sounded like he was narrating a water buffalo wandering around in some national geographic show with no emotion. The voices all sounded the same I couldn't tell who was talking. I ended up stopping for the day and when I started it again he seemed to get a better rythem although I did find myself zoning out occasionally.

At first, I hated the performance. It gets better.
Whenever I first started listening to this book, I was legitimately about to abandon it. David Timson is a stark contrast to the other narrators for the previous 4 books. It was a shocking change and I didn't expect it would get better. His portrayal of the Astartes and Fulgrim was silly at first, but I started to think about it.
The Emperors Children are the most privy to arts, music, etc. which is why I think they went with David Timson to voice these guys. They're basically extremely high and mighty/pompous. If you're able to get through the beginning, his voice gets better and his interpretations make sense. He does a good job towards the middle of the book.
The writing for this book is done by one of my favorite Black Library authors. It is a very gripping and in-depth view into the chaotic Emperors Children. I loved it and am happy with the way the Horus Heresy is progressing.

This is the place where you begin to understand the true nature of chaos. It's a perfect encapsulation of the experience of falling to Slaanesh.

Descent into madness
Fulgrim is a little different from most Heresy books in that its as much a horror story as it is a tragedy. Sometimes psychological, sometimes downright uncomfortable it's a far cry from the relatively straightforward morality of 40k novels. Mostly Fulgrim is the slow-burning tale of a cultured, urbane man of great learning whose love of perfection proves to be not only his own undoing but that of his Legion.
The book is quite a long one, allowing the reader to savour the full measure of the tragedy. McNeill has given the stories the full depth and context needed to follow the corruption of the Legion as a whole rather than relying on clumsy shortcuts. There's a few nods to King's Needful Things and some parts of False Gods find their way into the canvas but as a whole Fulgrim is as vast, decadent and ultimately disturbing as the artworks of the Primarch himself.
David Timson as narrator is an excellent choice. Here his tones work perfectly, capturing the honeyed, menacing tones of the Primarch and the arrogance of his Astartes. Fulgrim sounds like Edward Fox and Vespasian - Jack Hawkins. Nobody else could have pulled that off

Good Story, Frustrating Narration
This is an excellent chapter in an ongoing series, and I really did enjoy revisiting it in audio format.
Unfortunately, the narrator doesn’t seem to take cues from the text as to tone or character. So many bold leaders sound like nasal cowards, and all of the women sound like sit-com harridans, parodies of what they could be. It really is disappointing - a good narrator would have made this story come to life so much more effectively.

Perfect.
A book as perfect as the 3rd legion would desire, thought this one of the better books in the series so far. The in depth way you can practically see in to Fulgrim's mind helps you understand a lot better why some of the things happening happen so to speak.

Oh boy... Oh BOY!
At first I will admit I was hesitant towards David Timson's voice at first, having been used to hear the deep, gravelly tones of Jonathan Keeble and Toby Longwood. Yet, as the story progressed, I don't think I could have imagined a more... perfect voice for the book! Timson brings so much emotion to his voices, every character so unique and alive it is genuinely heart breaking in some moments thanks to Timson's performance.

McNeill captures the essence of a forgotten god
I have to say, at the start of this book I had my doubts. I find McNeill at this stage of his career to have quite a poor vocabulary, and who's writing from a technical perspective feels amateur.
However, I have to admit his storytelling ability is good. Fulgrim is a Primarch I knew absolutely nothing about, and Slaanesh, even as an Eldar player myself, is a Chaos god that is often ignored by Games Workshop.
I won't say too much, but if you're familiar with the Emperors Children, I expected some of the models you see on the table top to be awkward/ridiculous to describe seriously, but McNeill really captures the essence of the Dark Prince, excess, and how it effects those it comes into contact with. Honestly, I was so impressed and swept up in the story. I think he did an incredible job of bringing one of the more difficult to explain chaos gods to life.
I imagine some people will find this book slow. There is very little action at all, and it concentrated in the last couple of hours. But if you have been invested in the characters and development of the universe of these books you should enjoy this.
Overall a very unique and brilliantly executed novel.
