About this listen

Having witnessed the terrible massacre of Imperial forces on Isstvan III, Death Guard Captain Garro seizes a ship and sets a course for Terra to warn the Emperor of Horus' treachery.

But when the fleeing Eisenstein is damaged by enemy fire, it becomes stranded in the warp - the realm of the Dark Powers. Can Garro and his men survive the depredations of Chaos and get his warning to the Emperor before Horus' plans reach fruition?

Loved it to be honest. Wasn’t sure about the narrator to begin with but after a little time began to really enjoy and appreciate his performance. The whole story is really well described and had my imagination on overdrive. Plenty of action, and story development.

And the heresy continues

This was a really enjoyable story that was well read.

The main character Nathaniel was enjoyable to follow. His deeper struggles within himself were interesting as a man struggling to find a foundation to build his life upon as everything he held certain was torn away.

The action is good however more importantly I found the story engaging between set pieces.

The only issue I can see with this story is it relies on the knowledge of the listener for a lot of the descriptions for the world building/visualisation.

If you are completely new to warhammer I wouldn’t say this should put you off from listening however just know it can be light on descriptions.

Overall I would say it is a must have for anyone who is a Warhammer fan.

An excellent entry into the Horus Heresy

The greatest depiction of a raw reaction of betrayal ever whispered in my very ears my heart goes out to the death guard on Istvaan 3. However Garro is not my favourite depiction of an Astartes, not that he is lacking just not my choice of flavour.

Great highs

I love how this book overlaps the events from the preceding books. The story is a lot more focused and linear than the others, which is a welcome change in pace.

Garro is an excellent protagonist who is easy to like and relate to. I’d call this more of an action adventure than a complex drama. An obvious hero and villain story. A lighter read in general, which was a short break after the informational density of the others so far.

Some of the voices came off a bit odd, but it wasn’t too distracting. Dorn in particular was oddly grating.

The other books jumped around a lot, while this one kept its course steadier. Great read.

Engrossing

Every interaction Garro has with not only his fellow Battle Brothers but the normal human characters really shows the depth a Space Marine can have, how they are not simple killing machines. Outstanding writing/performance make FoTE a must read for anyone involved with the 40K hobby.
