The Indomitus Crusade continues its war across the stars. The primarch Roboute Guilliman has finally broken through the orkish threat bedevilling the sectors near Fenris, and makes ready to push on his bid to stabilise the Imperium Sanctus—but old and bitter foes stand in his way. Kor Phaeron, the Dark Cardinal, threatens the previously stable core of the Segmentum Solar. Waves of rebellion instigated by his infiltrating priests suggest an imminent, large-scale invasion by the Word Bearers Legion.

As the Dark Angels and the Primaris Marines fight a trauma-scarred force of T’au hellbent on destroying their former allies, the true quarry becomes clear - the shadowy instigator of a psychic curse that could plunge a string of Imperial planets into madness. As worlds burn in the fires of battle, an unthinkable pact is struck, with the Primaris Marines peeling back layer after layer of deceit to find the appalling truth.

Publisher's Summary
A Space Marine Conquests novel
The Word Bearers have come to despoil the Ecclesiarchy world of Almace - and it will take the Space Marines and the world's secretive leaders working together to prevent an apocalypse....
Listen to It Because:
Apocalypse is all about the biggest battles, and Josh Reynolds delivers that in this tale of three Space Marine Chapters waging war, with the fate of an entire world hanging in the balance.
The Story:
Following the cataclysmic Great Rift, forces from the Imperial Fists, White Scars and Raven Guard mobilise to defend the cardinal world of Almace from an invasion by the twisted traitors of the Word Bearers....
Lieutenant Heyd Calder is a Primaris Marine whose mastery of warfare is matched only by his diplomatic prowess. Under the orders of Roboute Guilliman, he is deployed to Almace, a minor seat of the Ecclesiarchy, to protect the world at whatever cost. Yet even as diabolical forces leer from the system's edge, Calder discovers that the capital's Cardinal-Governor, a sharp, inscrutable figure of spiritual and material authority, is hiding something. When it becomes clear that conquest is not the enemy’s sole aim, Calder resolves to uncover the secret of Almace. As the system is set ablaze, clashes of faith, strategy and politics ensue in the capital, and it becomes clear that the forces of the Ecclesiarchy and the Adeptus Astartes must fight together if they are to have any hope of victory.

By-the-numbers, explosive sci-fi military action!
The quality of Black Library novels and audio production values always impresses me. This book is no exception. It is beautifully performed.
The story is pretty much what you can expect t from a 40k novel. Bloody action and brutal warfare, dark secrets and pseudoscience mysticism. And although there is little to complain about, the plot left me feeling as if I'd heard this story before... overwhelming odds, but with strategy, willpower and the grace of the Emperor, the defenders win out... but at such a personal cost.
There were some excellent characters and characterizations, but nothing in the story that made me sit up and go "wow".
In summary, a well produced romp that will not tax the brain: violent, entertaining cerebral candy-floss.

Excellent narration and great characters. Really enjoyed this one. Will look for more 40k narrated by Richard Reed and written by Josh Reynolds.

Both the Imperium and the Chaos sides were done well. No major stupid acts that made them the scapegoat for the story. Each strived to out do each other without relying on "authors prerogative' to advance the story. Josh Reynolds gave both sides their due.

the Apocalypse turns out to be a pretty good read.
rumor is that Josh wrote this book in a month. if so that's an impressive feat. he knows his stuff, the story moves around briskly, and divides well into four or five sub narratives. everything makes sense and there's some genuine tension as to what's going to happen to characters. plot is strong, and so is the general theme. it all goes well with the standard warhammer trappings.
characterization is the weak point, and would have gained the most from more time. the good guys are fairly flat, especially the imperial fists, the Raven, and the sisters of battle. the white scars come off well.
it should surprise no one who's read Reynolds fabius bile books that his strong suite is traitor space Marines. the word bearers are fantasticly characterized, full.of passion, and have the most realized motivations and interactions.
narration was solid. reeds always good, but I question two of the choices. the lead human comes off a bit weaker than I think he was written. and the second word bearers comes off a bit more craven.
anyways a solid B rating.

Way better than I expected!
Space marine battle books are not my favorites. They seem to lack characters and story development Josh Reynolds has done a great job in this somewhat long book.
There were a lot of significant characters in the story. This usually means that chargers will go through periods of not doing anything or being ignored. Reynolds has seen to did the all of the characters seemed to contribute to a very complete conclusion.
This story adds depth to the Ecclesiarchy, their characters are not 2D bafoons and villains, but layered characters with purpose. The Sisters of Battle are tough, meaningful, and admirable.
On the side of the villains, they have as many different camps and factions as anybody. We know this because we are following members of the different groups all of the time in their schemings and their thoughts.
This book is well balanced, serves to develop all of the factions that it touches, and also serves to advance the over all story line of the current grim darkness of the 41st millennium.

An Epic Tale written on loose-leaf notebook paper
Reynolds captured characters in a way that is engaging and cuts to the essence of them in a way that is understandable in the setting and the background of the universe in which they are in. They were adequately three dimensional, nobody was playing-against-the-type in a way that was jarring, their foibles and virtues were not magnified in a way that was off-putting, and they were all believable for the universe of the setting. The down-side to the story was the setting itself which I feel came up a bit short of the plot devices that were used. The Cardinal World didn't feel very fleshed out for the plot threads that were used that were more than adequately engaging and that is its only failing. It is not hard to immerse yourself in the characters and the plot, but the world-stage itself is not immersive.
Individual plot points are engaging; there is a competent mystery occurring, the plotting and duplicity is engaging if a bit predictable, the differences between the legions and the backgrounds of their warriors as well as the denizens of the Cardinal World and their various backgrounds are well thought out and makes the reader want to know more about them. The characters themselves are interesting enough that I want to know more about them, I'd like to see them in other stories and experience their continued adventures. Reynolds manages to make the Astartes seem unique and reasonably different from one another based on the background and culture of their parent chapters (legions) where many other authors tend to merge the rather generic archetypes into one another and create tons of the same character, just in different colored armors.
Reed is a decent narrator, but other than how generic the Cardinal World feels, his performance would be the only other thing that could be considered weak in the narrative. Since Black Library has worked with other narrators with a far greater range of characterization and vocalization he can, perhaps unfairly, be considered weaker in this regard but he doesn't serve to excessively take one out of the story nor diminish interest. At the end of the day, not everyone can be Jonathan Keeble or Toby Longworth.

Is it just me???
I’d previously purchased this audiobook, reported the problem and returned the audiobook to Audible (the only audiobook I’ve ever returned in 8 years as a Member of Audible)!!!
At around 32 minutes in, the audio is damaged with 2 separate sections overlapping, or playing on top each other!!! This fault last for several minutes!!!
I’d hoped Audible might have fixed the problem, when I recently saw the Audiobook in Audible’s recent sale!!! I can’t have been the only person to experience this fault!!! Unfortunately Audible haven’t!!!

Excellent
Easily the best of the new crop of Black Library authors. Continuing the excellent characterisation and witty dialogue seen in the Fabius Bile series.

Glory eternal
The story is played out as much in the telling of it and the voices of each of the characters as the actual writing, when you hear the voices you can imagine what the writer wants the character to look like and how you feel about them as the book moves along. As for the book moving along it’s a brisk pace and when the fighting starts the speed of the narrative puts you right in the fight so you almost duck bolster rounds and blade slashes. I highly recommend this book

EPIC
There isn't any other word to describe this story it was just Epic on every level it had such grand scale and for me hit everything I was looking for in the grim dark future.
The smaller interment moments where fantastic and the characters were built extremely well. Especially the look we got into the word bearers.
I also loved the 3 space marines and the journeys they each took was very unique and fitting for each chapter.
And finally the mvp of this audio book, Richard Reed.
His vocal performances where some of the best I've ever heard. He gave every single character their own unique distinct voices, so you never got confused. He also made each character his own and they all felt real. He gave the whole story the gravity it needed.
I will be looking for more books that He has lent his skills to.
I also Thought the author was amazing and I look forward to experiencing more of his work in the future.
All in all EPIC and a definite recommendation to any 40k fan.

Slow start, but a fun look at the Wordbearers
Suffers from bad pacing but picks up towards the second half. The best part is the look you get at the Wordbearers internal politics.
