About this listen

The Cadian Gate is broken, and the Imperium is riven in two. The might of the Traitor Legions, kept shackled for millennia behind walls of iron and sorcery, has been unleashed on a darkening galaxy. Among those seeking vengeance on the Corpse Emperor’s faltering realm are the Death Guard, once proud crusaders of the Legiones Astartes, now debased creatures of terror and contagion.

Mighty warbands carve bloody paths through the void, answering their lord primarch’s call to war. And yet for all their dread might in arms, there is no escape from the vicious legacies of the past, ones that will pursue them from the ruined daemon-worlds of the Eye of Terror and out into the smouldering wastes of the Imperium Nihilus.

This book tells us so much about the deathguard, from life as a plague marine, to what the plague planet is actually like to how loyalists are turned to nurgle.

And it does this through an engaging story with genuinely interesting characters. The whole book follows the show don’t tell rule meaning we discover things through the story, not through exposition dumps. And while this does mean things can seem a little flat at the start it really keeps the flow going

I honestly can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking to learn more about the death guard.

A must read for any deathguard fan

A rather disjointed story that I had trouble following at times. Names seemed to close to each other and when given narration obscured what would have been easy to see in print. Nevertheless, it was an entertaining story.

Never read or listen to a book like this ever in my life, if you’re down with horror and vile descriptions please read this

I really enjoyed this book, the writer was on point with his descriptions of the fallen death guard and the narrator was on point with his voice acting and narration. It was actually humanizing and showed that maybe the good guys in the universe aren't as good and benevolent as we think they might be and maybe it is worth turning down a different path.

I would love to see this link up with the Dark Imperium trilogy of which I'm eagerly awaiting a re-release.

Honestly loved seeing things from the death guards perspective. Super entertaining and macabre.. The infighting was intriguing and their musing upon their own decay was a highlight.

Deliciously macabre
