Description
The Space Marine Legions of old are dead, torn asunder in the wake of the Horus Heresy. In their place have risen a thousand Chapters, each unique, each carrying the legacy of their founders across the countless battlefields of the Imperium.
The Flesh Tearers spill blood in a war of brutal attrition.
The Emperor's Spears keep a tireless watch where their brothers have fallen.
The Consecrators search the dark places for relics, artefacts of power from the noble past.
The Crimson Fists vow, with bloodied hands, to become Dorn's glorious vanguard once more.
These are the Imperium's bulwark against terror, the Emperor's Angels of Death. Forged from the genetic material of the demigod Primarchs, it is by the might of these Adeptus Astartes that the growing darkness of the galaxy is held at bay - for the Space Marines know no fear.

Good fun
Nice little short story collection. Good variety.
I have a lot of affection for the Emperor's Spears, so good that they get two tales.

Mixed bag but overall good
Some of the more memorable stories carry the weaker ones which are truly forgettable. Depending on personal preference as to whether your favourite chapter gets a good showing in this.

Very mixed bag
Some very ordinary shorts with the odd tale that grabs the attention. Not worth a credit, maybe pick up in a sale.

A Fantastic Bridge Between Several Stories
This book is a great bridge between several other outstanding 40k story lines. it also provides a bridge between older first born marines and Primaris. Highlighting how different chapters view them and integrate the Primaris.
Worth a listen to fix gaps in other stories or give you interest in others - Spears of the Emperor, for example.

Some of the stories are better than others
You have entry stories like Patience Kills and stories that require quite a bit of knowledge like the ADB stories and the Peter Fehevari one.
Overall I enjoyed it. The voice acting was great.
It's going to be impossible to please everyone with this mix. Rating based on the simple stories not doing it for me.

Interesting tales
Some more interesting than others and depending on tastes better than others, I think an anthology is always going to leave some disappointment and that is not the authors fault but the readers for unrealistic expectations, I enjoyed this

Son of the Stormworld
I love the Emperor’s Spears, they are just cooler Space Wolves with more correct culture if you want vikings in space.

Black libary churning it out..
ADB story was good, nice little follow on from the emperor's spear, Some of the audio commentary didn't hit the mark on this, really getting the impression this is just got compiled as a bit of a side thought.
