About this listen

On the world of Colchis, mighty religions rule a decaying society in the name of absent gods - until the arrival of Lorgar. Primarch, prophet, leader of destiny, the Golden One is raised by Kor Phaeron, priest of the Covenant, to be his weapon in a quest for power.

As religious war spreads across the planet, spearheaded by the Brotherhood of Lorgar, the primarch is plagued by visions of the future and the coming of the Emperor. To find his place in this new order, he must reach balance between the teachings of his adopted father, Kor Phaeron, and the fate that he knows awaits him among the stars.

The book focuses primarily on Lorgar's upbringing with rare snipits of the Horus Heresy. Really goes to show you how cucked Lorgar is that he NEEDS a religion to follow. Not a whiney brat like Perturabo but more 2 dimensional.

Good performance but very average story.

Meh

Interesting to see Lorgars upbringing, I did not care much for Lorgar going in but I felt bad for him and makes more sense about what happens later during the hearsay

I enjoyed it

yeah we get it, you read dune. sand planet with a submerged sand wyrm. messiah found and addopted into a local religion, even describe the primarch's commanding tones as "the voice". also pisses so much time away explaining the time concept at the start... but then reminds you of it every time it's mentioned later on as well. not as smart as the author thinks it is. worst primarch novel I've listened to so far.

Dune meets communism
