Vulkan lies in state beneath the Fortress of Hera, and yet many of his sons still refuse to believe that he is truly dead. After a seemingly miraculous rescue by the Ultramarines, Artellus Numeon, once captain of the Pyre Guard, urges the other Salamanders on Macragge to leave Imperium Secundus and return their primarch's body to the home world of Nocturne - there to be reborn in the flames of Mount Deathfire.

The galaxy burns at Horus' command, and a billion more lives are lost with each passing moment - though it was not always so. Once, the title of Warmaster stood for honour, loyalty and a fierce pride in the strength of the Space Marine Legions. But perhaps by following the myriad lines of destiny and defiance that were already woven around the primarchs and their sons, we may yet come to understand the bitterness that can eat away at even the most steadfast of souls....

A fantastic compilation with brilliant narration
These short stories fill in blanks or cover histories of the other novels in the Horus Heresy series. Some are awesome and engaging; some are interesting and entertaining; All are totally worth your time if you enjoy the series like myself (I'm going through every novel in the series in order). The narrations are great, of particular note Jonathan Keeble whom gives some of his best yet. Utterly awesome!

Worst produced audio book ever
There are two stories which are repeated, so the overall length of the book is a lie. It makes me wonder if there are two stories missing from the book. The thematic song between books changes all the time, some of them are rather low in their quality of sound. The audio level throughout the book keeps changing between stories.

Good stories, terrible quality control!
As has been mentioned, some parts repeat. How the Hels does that get to the final product? Also, from one story to the next the sound levels are all over the place. Then there's Toby Longworths reading of *Riven*. Usually a great 40k narrator, this was incredibly & ridiculously aggravating! He whispers some parts so low that I have to turn the volume up noticeably. Then of course, he stops whispering... The neighbors actually got several impromptu introductions to the 40k universe due to the horrific sound levels. As I listen to these as I go to sleep, suffice to say I had to skip Riven or else be rudely *yelled at* by the terrible sound levels. Longworths ridiculously overwrought renditions of quiet asides followed by sudden *hear it two rooms over* exclamations... Again, how does this go out for sale this poorly produced? 1* for the overall performance 5* for the good Horus Heresy stories.

Easily skipped
Not bad storytelling but not at all vital to event the minor plotlines of the Heresy. Some are criminally short: the length of a chapter in a Dan Brown novel while others offer colour but little more than that. Because the events referenced are sandwiched among fixed points, there is only a certain amount of story to be mined and the pickings are scarce. Two of the stories repeat one after another so you're getting around a half hour less in total. Overall not worth a credit but certainly worth nabbing on the daily deal.

they have atleast 3 different narrators and yet whenever it's a white scar story its white people doing really bad Asian accents. surely since you went to the bother of grabbing 3 different ones for this one book you would get one that does not make you look like a racist?
