About this listen

Audiobook two of the Dark Imperium trilogy.

As the Plague Wars rage on, the Emperor's will manifests in Ultramar through miracles that confound the primarch Roboute Guilliman, even as he must rely on them when he faces his traitorous brother, Mortarion.

Listen to it because

The battle between faith and science lies at the heart of Warhammer 40,000. Guy Haley explores it here as never before, through the eyes of Roboute Guilliman - the ultimate believer in rationality and the Imperial Truth.

The story

In the void and upon the worlds of Greater Ultramar, the battle for the Imperium continues.

Intent on rebuilding his home realm and using it as a base to reconstruct the ravaged stellar empire of mankind, the returned primarch, Roboute Guilliman, proceeds with his war to drive Mortarion and his Death Guard Traitor Legion from the domain of the Ultramarines.

But when Guilliman brings his brother to battle upon the diseased plains of Parmenio, the intervention of a greater power in their fraternal struggle threatens to upend the Imperial Regent’s understanding of the galaxy, and his place within it.

Primarchs and ideologies clash in this thrilling second part of the Dark Imperium trilogy.

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by John Banks.

A marked improvement on its predicessor. The themes and questions raised are given opportunity to develop properly and the story is all the stronger for it. There is still plenty of mindless primarch violence - if that is what you're looking for - but I appreciated the occassional reprieve of interesting dialogue and thoughtful worlding buliding.

John Banks' performance is outstanding. Don't make the same mistake I did and have the audio cranked to hear over the car's heater because when he starts yelling it's brown trousers time.

Fantastic Narration

Thoroughly enjoyed this 2nd instalment of the series and looking forward to hearing how this wraps up in the 3rd. I am always thankful for more fleshing out of the 40K universe but the writing now, in comparison to the early 40K/Horus Heresy books feels nerfed. As said Im still enjoying modern 40K, just it’s lost a level of immersive detail which was also delivered in a serious yet non boring manner. . . or maybe Im just obsolete with a filtered memory 😄 Plague War = Worth a listen

Good but . . .

I liked Guilliman and Ecclesiarchy
Mathieu's relationship. I liked how they continued Justinian and Felix's story from their time in the Unnumbered Son's. The Plague Wars themselves were really well done.

A great middle point for the Dark Imperium.

great stuff except for ultramarines and their stupid hypothetical practicals. also Gilly spitting the dummy wasn't amazing

The more I read, the more I come to like Guilliman as a character rather than just a meme.

Guilliman is cool, actually
