About this listen

A Horus Heresy Character series novel.

Sigismund—First Captain, Emperor's Champion, the Eternal Crusader! The founder of the Black Templars was many things, and this novel brings him to life as never before.

Listen to it because....

Get a rare glimpse into the mortal life of one of the greatest champions of the Space Marines, before they were recruited. Sigismund’s beliefs would light a fire that still rages 10,000 years later.

The story:

The Great Crusade is ending. The Emperor has returned to Terra, while Horus remains among the stars to complete the unification of humanity.

As the Imperial armies fight the final battles of the age, Remembrancer Solomon Voss seeks the answer to one question—why does Sigismund, First Captain of the Imperial Fists and greatest champion of the Legions, believe that war will not end?

Granted a rare audience with the master of the Templars, the answer takes Voss on a revelatory journey to a time before Sigismund became a Space Marine, through his first battles and oaths to the bitterest duels between Legions.

Written by John French. Running time 6 hours 18 mins. Narrated by Timothy Watson.

If i were to have one complaint about this it is that its not long enough, it perfectly tells the story of Sigismund and the ending sent chills down my back, knowing what is to come, just finished it but will probably give it one or two more listen’s.

I'm a big time Imperial Fists Horus Heresy fan but found stories involving one of the best swordsmen in the area wowfully lacking in back story and action involving the Sigismund. This book enriches his story greatly.

The missing link to Sigismund's Story

One of the best Horus Heresy character or primarch novels out there. Unexpectedly deep for a space marine story. Exceedingly well written.

Really Good!
