About this listen

In the wake of the Dropsite Massacre at Isstvan V, the survivors of the Salamanders Legion searched long and hard for their fallen primarch, but to no avail. Little did they know that while Vulkan might have wished himself dead, he lives still...languishing in a hidden cell for the entertainment of a cruel gaoler, his brother Konrad Curze.

Enduring a series of hellish tortures designed to break his body and spirit, Vulkan witnesses the depths of the Night Haunter's depravity but also discovers something else - a revelation that could change the course of the entire war.

After listening to this awesome audio book i want to collect Salamanders (I was a devout heretic prior). Can't wait to find out what happens next. Great book. Great narration. Definitely recommended.

Awesome! A definite hit!

Vulkan' constant torture at the hands of his brother brings their relationship down to an almost too human level, making it both heart breaking and intense. And the performance from the narrator was breathtaking to say the least.

Heart Breaking

You'll see Vulkan gets both his mind and body torn open in this book, It turly captures the sense of loss and betrayal following the Istvaan 5 massacre, great edition to the series, 5 stars.

One of the rawest books in the series.

It’s good, but didn’t hold my attention as much the others. Got a bit slow at some points but overall a good listen

This is 12 hours of Konrad Curz torturing Vulkan, and VulKan being portrayed as too stupid to see through anything. it is poorly written and disjointed.
Read something else

I hope you don't like Vulkan

let me preface this by saying I've been a salamander player for well over a decade, so I say this with a certain amount of disapointment. I dunno if it's because I have been binging horus heresy books or if it's more that I've never been a huge fan of Nick kymes writing style but this one felt pretty slow, didn't seem to cover a lot of ground, I didn't really connect with the characters and so when they died it didn't impact me at all.

to meandering for me

After a very tiresome start to the book, it slowly devolves into an episode of Tom and Jerry with a weird philosophical twist

What have they done to you Vulkan?

Hard to follow and the ending was bad. Sorry but I have never given a bad review
