Summary

A Space Marine Conquests novel

Supporting the Dark Angels as they battle trauma-scarred T'au, Lieutenant Farren and his Primaris Marines discover their allies have many secrets they'll do anything to conceal....

Listen to it because we've all been dying to know what happens when the Primaris Space Marines and Dark Angels finally meet - and now that story is finally here.

The story: Lieutenant Xedro Farren is a Primaris Marine, stronger and more adept than even the Space Marines his brotherhood is sent to fight alongside. As the Dark Angels and the Primaris Marines fight a trauma-scarred force of T’au hellbent on destroying their former allies, the true quarry becomes clear - the shadowy instigator of a psychic curse that could plunge a string of Imperial planets into madness. As worlds burn in the fires of battle, an unthinkable pact is struck, with the Primaris Marines peeling back layer after layer of deceit to find the appalling truth. Can Farren hope to emerge from this web of lies without losing his honour - or come to that, his life?

Intriguing but.....

I am not a great reader of Dark Angels books as I have found the heresy books involving them laborious but I was looking forward to a 40k story particularly with Tau and Primaris featuring, it was enjoyable but could have been better, the narration as alway by John Banks was the saving grace

War of secrets

Throughly enjoyable listen. The unexpected tau perspectives were great too! If you collect dark angels it's a great storyline to enjoy !

Brilliant rendition of an average plot

Banks masterfully crafts a veil of voices over an otherwise very average dark angels novel

Good voice acting, story not so good.

The voice acting was good throughout. Unfortunately I found the story to be a Dark Angel cliche and rather uninteresting. The Tau storyline was much more interesting.

Well paced and interesting

A decent book, well delivered. The story flowed well overall and had a mix of strategy, intrigue and action.
I do confess to losing the thread at points, as there was so much happening, and it may have been best to shave a little of the interwoven plots out, to avoid the risk of the story becoming jumbled, but all in all a very good listen.
I would say one of the stronger WH40k Dark Angel listens / reads out there.

Intruige and Enlightenment

Dark Angels, their suspicious Primaris and Warp scarred T'au make for an excellent story filled with twists

I enjoyed this very much.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Dark Angels now, great story, Astartes will always be my favorite, but those dark shenanigans...

A conversation between Guilliman and an advisor

Advisor: I recognise the dire need to supply every chapter with trained Primaris recruits, but I recommend only telling the Dark Angels how to make their own primaris.
G: Explain.
Advisor: The Dark Angels, while perfectly loyal due to their xenocidal and anti-chaos campaigns, are a chapter that highly value their privacy.
G: Nah, I'll just inject a contigent of primaris, who have external loyalties to Cawl and I, within the most secretive and reclusive chapter there is. What could possibly go wrong?
