About this listen

As the Warmaster's campaign of galactic domination continues, his generals seek out fresh battlefields to conquer. After leaving the Crone World of Iydris behind, Perturabo strikes for Tallarn. A bitter, vengeful primarch, the lord of the Iron Warriors unleashes a deadly bombardment against the world, killing millions but entrenching the survivors.

A brutal, all-consuming armoured conflict ensues, the greatest of the war and one that grinds down all combatants over more than a year of relentless battles. But Perturabo's reasons for the attack are about more than unleashing punitive destruction against the Imperium - he has an entirely darker purpose in mind.

If you made it this far with the HH series you'll understand it's a typical short story book, the narrator at the beginning your better off to speed it up to ×1.1 to ×1.2 (up to you) he suites stuff more like the hobbit. But either way try to keep up with what's happening.

Typical

Fantastically written and performed, the feeling of old submarine movies is striking but still subtle. Brilliantly captured the idea of being locked in a machine, having to guess and hope where your enemy is, and that if you get lost or lose your vehicle you are doomed.

Claustrophobic

In general, not a bad listen. Only the last book really held my attention though, the first few fell a little flat for me honestly. Im not a huge fan of the collection of short stories the HH series does, and this feels like 3 shorts and a half a book.

I did enjoy it, though. A few interesting characters in the last half book. Worth a listen.

Mixed bag of Mixed books.

Jonathan Keeble narration saves a rather disjointed narrative. If you are into virus bombs its a good listen….

Jonathan Keeble narration is excellent

it came close to the random and tedious story coming together but didn't quit make it

it stood out as an poorly explained part of the heresy.

This book was an absolute drag, the entire story is an absolute slog. Characters that are unappealing, a story that seems to just go no where. Maybe it's because this is the 45 HH book I'm listening to, but I think it's just a really bad story. I only have an hour left and I can't even bring myself to finish it. Moving on to the next.

Dull and Boring

The narrator completely ruins what could be a great story..... Completely terrible I hope this is the first and last HH book he's done.
