Summary

A Blood Angels audiobook.

A religious civil war brings the Blood Angels, commanded by Chief Librarian Mephiston, to a shrine world where they find a mystery that might help Mephiston understand how he survived the Black Rage - and perhaps cure the Blood Angels of their affliction.

Listen to it because:

Delve into the curse of the Blood Angels and how Mephiston survived it, while also exploring notions of faith and the influence of the Emperor on the Imperium of the 41st Millennium.

The story:

The shrine world of Divinatus Prime has become lost to the light of the Astronomican, and no ship can piece its veil. Only the Lord of Death himself, Blood Angels Chief Librarian Mephiston, has any hope of discerning the fate of this once pious world. After enacting a powerful blood ritual, Mephiston and an honour guard of his fellow Blood Angels reach the stricken shrine world to find it seized by religious civil war. Each faction fights for dominance of a potent artefact, the Blade Petrific, said to be wrought by the Emperor Himself. Yet there is more at work here than a mere ideological schism, for Mephiston believes Divinatus Prime could offer answers to how he became the Lord of Death, he who resisted the Black Rage, and possibly even a way to end the curse of ‘the Flaw’ in all Blood Angels.

Written by Darius Hinks.

Narrated by Richard Reed.

Lord of Death indeed

Darius Hinks has really changed my mind about the Blood Angels as I was never really a fan of the sons of sanguinius but this and the other Mephiston books have made me a fan and I have to say narrating these tales suits Richard Reed perfectly

Mediocre

While not a bad subject matter, in that mephiston and the blood angels are interesting characters, both the writing and narration are lack lustre. The story progresses in fits and starts and mephiston himself is depicted, quite annoyingly at times, as a sort of blundering ditsy protagonist with godlike powers. Worth a look if you really are a blood angels fan or if you are just looking for more space marine stories. The Astorath novel would be a better recommendation.

still good but not the best

Narrator was incredible and I love Mephiston, the story was lacking to me compared to the other audiobooks - would still recommend and am looking forward to any more of this character

A Great Blood Angels Novel

Another Great Read from Black Library about a mysterious character that's rarely written about and a chapter who barely gets noticed
