About this listen

When the world of Armageddon is attacked by orks, the Black Templars Space Marine Chapter are amongst those sent to liberate it. Chaplain Grimaldus and a band of Black Templars are charged with the defence of Hive Helsreach from the xenos invaders in one of the many battle zones.

But as the orks' numbers grow and the Space Marines' numbers dwindle, Grimaldus faces a desperate last stand in an Imperial temple. Determined to sell their lives dearly, will the Black Templars hold on long enough to be reinforced, or will their sacrifice ultimately be in vain?

Fantastic story, fantastic performance.

ADB is one of the best writers in WH and the story of Grimaldus is easily one of the best in the universe.
Coupled with a fantastic reading by Jonathan Keeble, this is definitely one of the best WH40k books there is, and a fantastic audio book in turn.

Yes it is that good

This is a good story of war and I am still trying to let it settle into my thoughts.
While not really liking the Templars I enjoyed the story of the war and how it went from the build up to the aftermath.
I can see why it is considered a must read for 40K fans

Top tier story and voice acting

one of the finest pieces of sci fi audiobooks let alone one of the best 40k. the narration and story blend perfectly. it is brutal and depressing at parts, in the best spirit of war and imperium. 11/10

Awesome 40K novel

The black templars are awesome, black templars vs orks is such a good combination for a 40K book.

This is definitely the best 40K novel I’ve come across.

The story is great, the characters are clear and the book is also really unexpectedly funny in places from the black templar POV.

Now I want a Black Templars army..

This author can do no wrong. He portrays space marines so grimly but with excellence.

Audio ussues

Another great story by ADB, but the audio volume was insanely low. Sound gets drowned out by people whispering 3 streets away.

Now that’s voice acting!

This story is a great way to experience the Warhammer universe, and makes you want to delve deeper into the lore by bringing alive the beliefs, actions and history of the Imperium amidst the storm of a never ending battle.
