About this listen

Unaware of the wider Heresy and following the Warmaster's increasingly cryptic orders, Roboute Guilliman returns to Ultramar to muster his Legion for war against the orks massing in the Veridian system.

Without warning, their supposed allies in the Word Bearers Legion launch a devastating invasion of Calth, scattering the Ultramarines fleet and slaughtering all who stand in their way. This confirms the worst scenario Guilliman can imagine - Lorgar means to settle their bitter rivalry once and for all. As the traitors summon foul daemonic hosts and all the forces of Chaos, the Ultramarines are drawn into a grim and deadly struggle in which neither side can prevail.

At first I found the style this book is written in so different than the usual Horus Heresy novels that I have listened to so far (I'm doing the series in order). However Dan Abnett never fails to impress and soon I was wrapped up in it so much I couldn't stop listening to it; needing to know the next events. I'm not an Ultramarines fan but I felt their Shock. Their pain. Their loss. Their anger. Their vengeance!
Masterfully written and can't wait for more.
I am usually not a fan of Gareth Armstrong in his narrations as he can often give little scared child voices to space marines and doesn't do as much justice as other narrators of the Horus Heresy. However he did an excellent job in this novel! It's as if it was written for him to narrate.
Highly recommend this audio book!

Overall a good listen, do recommend. My only complaint is that it jumps around alot and it can be a bit jarring. The voice acting is well done but what is the fascination in this series with making Space Marines sound elderly? Most of them sound like they should be running a book shop in 1930s London, not a worrior in a grim dark universe (an issue with several books throughout this series, not just this one)

Good but Jumps around alot.

There were some great moments but the story just wasn't as good as some of the other books

The book is an amazing piece of work and does amazingly at building up the characters. Personally I would say it is one of, if not is, my favourite book of all time in consideration of what I have read.

WE MARCH FOR CALTH!

Original chapter style- a+ story/ storytelling. Dan Abnett is in a league of his own.

I recommend reading/listening to this after First Heretic, which is also really good. As it adds just enough context to Lorgar and the Word Bearers to appreciate what's happening.

I love how the tone of the story changes as things become more chaotic.
It's a little difficult to follow some characters as it jumps around a bit. But it's got a lot going on, condensed into It's chapters that make it worth a go.

Great.

Truly incredible. A must have. The narrator was very good and certainly helped bring the intense atmosphere to life. A great story to listen to as an audio book from start to finish. Highly recommend.
