About this listen

A Horus Heresy: Primarchs novel

Few among the legendary primarchs are as feared as Konrad Curze, the Night Haunter. Even before his fall to darkness, he was a sinister legend, a remorseless killer. This is his story.

Listen to it because:

The Night Haunter is a fascinating character, a man who could have been a hero, but for the daemons that plague him, the result of his nightmarish visions of a future he helps to create. Guy Haley delves into this lord of the night, in a story you'll never forget…

The story:

Of all the Emperor’s immortal sons, the primarchs, it is Konrad Curze whose legend is the darkest. Born in the shadows of Nostramo, a world of murderers, thieves and worse, is it any surprise that he became the figure of dread known only as the Night Haunter? Heed now the tragic story of the creature Konrad Curze, master of the Night Lords Legion, of how he became a monster and a weapon of terror. He who once served the Imperium saw the truth in a maddening universe and the hypocrisy of a loveless father, and embraced the only thing that made any sense - darkness. From the blood-soaked gutters of his hiveworld upbringing, to the last days of his ill-fated existence, Curze is a primarch like no other and his tale is one to chill the very bone....

The story gives a little more insight into Konrad Curze, Sevatar and the Night Lords. As always Jonathan Keeble's narration is brilliant. The story seemed a bit self indulgent in parts, especially towards the end, but that could also be seen as a reflection of the Night Haunter's psyche. It is an interesting read, but ultimately missable given its brevity. You won't really miss anything about the lore of the 8th Legion and its Primarch if you skip it.

This was amazingly performed with the actors capturing each component and nuance of the writing perfectly. An overall excellent book showing the Night Haunter in an interesting light.

A stunning performance on an interesting Primarch

A beautifully tragic tale, wonderfully narrated by Jonathan Keeble. A man scorned for fulfilling the purpose of his creation.

This is the first Primarch novel where I loved the story, but didn’t want to immediately collect or play the Night Lords. Whilst a very intriguing story, it doesn’t do what I believe a Primarch story should do, make you want to collect them.

Flawed Primarch

Guy Haley has done an excellent job realising the motives and forces that shaped the Night Haunter. From talking to others, it seems the story still invokes feeling in some of the inevitability of his fall, while in others it invokes a feeling of missed opportunity. And for this Primarch it is not only fitting, but astonishingly difficult to achieve while keeping the Nighthaunter as the protagonist. Bloody well done!

A disturbing but brilliant story

A phenomenally written insight into the vastly broken mind of the tragic Night Haunter as well as a look into the workings and failings of the Night Lords as a legion.

Amazing
