About this listen

Deep in Imperium Nihilus, Blood Angels Chief Librarian Mephiston and his comrades are drawn into battle with a cabal of Thousand Sons sorcerers – with worlds at stake and hidden truths threatening to overwhelm him, this is Mephiston's darkest hour....

Experience a battle of psychic might in the Dark Imperium and witness Mephiston taking on his greatest challenges ever, physically, mentally and emotionally.

Having fought during the devastation of Baal, Mephiston and a cohort of Blood Angels are drawn by cryptic visions to a war-torn world on the cusp of the Great Rift. Here, the sorcerers of the Thousand Sons seek to unite nine Silver Towers and bring about a ritual that will empower their master, the daemon-primarch Magnus. The ritual must be prevented, lest the entire sub-sector be cast into Chaos. Mephiston faces a challenge like no other, of his strength and his will, confronting a hidden truth that threatens to expose him to his darkest fears.

Loved the book, the narrator and author have both done a fantastic job. Nice to see life and character being breathed into the Blood Angels.

I felt this book rushed to a conclusion towards its end, and after the build up, the conclusion was a lazy way out. Love reading about Mephiston, his character has depth and this book continues adding to his dark, angelic promise.

Just missed the spot, worth a go.

Really disappointed with this book. While it was still an acceptable piece of entertainment it really failed to deliver much towards to greater story of Mephiston. Much like the 3rd book of Fabius this is a filler with not much real substance. Certainly some bits and pieces of 40K lore is in there but I think the author has little real knowledge of the greater universe that is 40K. Still it is average read or listen. Hopefully the next is better and back on task.
