About this listen

With the noble Emperor Sanguinius ruling from Macragge, Imperium Secundus stands as a lone beacon of hope even as the Warmaster's forces continue to ravage the rest of the galaxy.

Roboute Guilliman, still Master of Ultramar, has convinced his brother that Terra has fallen and that the mysterious Mount Pharos on Sotha now holds the key to mankind's future. But the Night Lords, those cruel and pitiless sons of Konrad Curze, have been watching from the shadows and make ready to launch their long-planned attack on the Pharos itself....

WOW

Honestly one of the best (top 4 Horus Heresy Books upto this point). The ending is epic and the relationship between Dantioch and Pollux is one of the best in 30k/40k.

Fantastic

A truly gripping story in the Horus Heresy, beautifully narrated by John Banks, each chapter draws you in and every step of the way was just as immense as the last, with an intense start followed by a nail biting build up and perfectly finished with an epic battle, full with gore and stunning detail that puts you there in the thick of it.

Top three Heresey-book (thus far)

I've listened to quite a few of the books in the series, in order but skiping some.

My favorites by far are this, Legion, and Flight of the Eisenstein. I haven't analyzed why, but my gut says that the characters are a bit more three dimensional in these books. Friendships and camaraderie, brotherly love and hate, and finally choices between bad or worse that I as a reader care about.

This is definitely not a book to skip.

A diverse and compelling story

This book has been one of my favourite in the series so far, the reader brings a different take on a lot of the voices but once I’d got used to it I was thoroughly immersed. The story deals with human, scout, space marine and primarch threads , and weaves them wonderfully. It actually manages to build a sense of foreboding and tension, something not as common as it should be in the Heresy series.

Amazing! Hooked from start to finish!

A continuation of the imperium secondum story arc which has been outstanding so far! Bromances, torture, tear jerking scenes this book has it all!

Really wish the two night lord brothers didn’t have such similar sounding names but that does not detract from the story at all.

Narrator was excellent!

Best performance in the series.

There's a good chunk of these horus heresy audios I struggle with who the characters are and sometimes where the story is as they jump about various ships, planets, cities etc but this one is superbly read as the performer gives individual voice to each character and you can feel the energy of the individuals in his performance. Kurze and Sanguinius especially are personified wonderfully. I hope to find that many more of the series are read by this performer.
