About this listen

The Blood Angels Chapter of Space Marines is under threat. Having obliterated all human life in the Red Scar region of space, the largest tendril of Hivefleet Leviathan ever seen in the Imperium has converged and is making relentlessly for Baal.

To face this awesome foe, Commander Dante has called upon the Successor Chapters of the ancient Ninth Legion. The Sons of Sanguinius gather in numbers not seen since the dark days of the Horus Heresy. Thirty thousand Space Marines stand ready to thwart the Great Devourer, save the homeworld of their primarch, and prevent the consumption of billions in the Ultima Segmentum beyond.

But the tyranid swarm numbers in the trillions, and they are not the only danger to the chapter’s future. As the galaxy slides toward a terrifying new era, events far away threaten to unleash a greater evil. A further enemy must also be overcome, that of the Black Rage that lurks in the souls of all Sanguinius’ bloodline.

I feel terrible writing this, but if you like your space marines sounding like elderly Shakespearean actors then this is for you. How they manage pick up a sword let alone swing it is beyond me. I just heard one of them smack his lips like my grandfather. Takes me straight back to the black-adder episode where the actors teach the prince regent public speaking. Mephiston sounds like that bloke who did the original vampire movies. Story is great and it’s worth a listen... just be prepared (and visual the tyrannids as using Zimmer frames - makes the battles plausible)

A true hero must project himself my lord...

a random blood angel successor captain walked up to a khorne prince and said "yo KhaBanda! KhaBanda! Fight me!.1v1! KhaBanda Fight me!" and got sliced before he even turned on his chainsword to swing at the giant khorne demon prince.
And for some reason a feather stops them from tripping out n turning into space vampires.
Mephistone n other librarians decided to sit out on the bench n meditate while some of them fell asleep while their planet n brothers n getting rekt.
All True...

srs no lie. A Captain said 'KhaBanda Fight me 1v1"

Now I am a Dark Angels fan myself and collect them as my prime armies.

But wow this was a good story, engaging and really showed another side of a lot of characters I had grown up with since the early 2000.

Seeing them fleshed out was unbelievable and I give the book a 10/10.

Engaging story for any true Warhammer 40k Fan
