Summary
A Primarchs novel
The Twelfth Primarch has been found! United with the War Hounds - now renamed the World Eaters - the gladiator Angron gives his sons an ultimatum that will change their very nature, and their destiny.
Listen to it because:
You've seen the immediate aftermath of Angron's recruitment into the Imperium in the short story 'After Desh'ea' - now Ian St. Martin brings us the details of what happened next, and the World Eaters' adoption of the Butcher's Nails.
The story:
As the Emperor travels the galaxy at the head of his Great Crusade, few events are as important as rediscovering his scattered sons, the Primarchs, and bestowing them as the masters of their Legions. United, a Legion becomes a reflection of its Primarch, both in his strengths and his flaws. For the Twelfth Legion, once the War Hounds and now the World Eaters, the line between strength and flaw is almost impossible to separate. Placed in command of a Legion he does not want, in service to a father he cannot forgive, Angron gives an ultimatum to his children, one that will set them down a path that they can never return from. So desperate for his acknowledgment, will the World Eaters follow their father and cast themselves in his broken image, or will they resist? And will any of them ever learn who their father was truly meant to be?
Written by Ian St. Martin. Performed by Jonathan Keeble.

One of the better ones in the series
This is one of the better books in the Primarchs series, since it sheds light on the history of the primarch in question and also his legion. I would rate this the third best of the ones currently available in Audible of the series (summer 2019). The best one in my opinion is the one about Lorgar and the second the one about Perturabo. Recommended if you've enjoyed the other books in the series, but I would not start with this one unless Angron is your favourite primarch.

Amazing listen
Horus Heresy fans hate Angron but not me and this story is why.
The story tells us so much and sheds a light on the true tragedy of Angron and his sons, the world waters (war hounds).
I have listened to the book atleast 10 times and every time it hits me, the first time, the ending almost brought me to tears.
Angron and his sons deserved better, they settled for blood instead.

Best Primarch book
By far and I include Alpharius in that which is a book I love, Angron could have been so much more than a psychotic murder machine and it was touching to hear of his painful upbringing, if not for the nails he could have been the emperor’s right hand

Would highly recommend to anyone that loves lore.
Absolutely brilliant, great delve into a Primarchs, and a legions history with characters that capture your interest. Great pace with clear direction, I'll be listening to this many times.

Best audiobook I’ve listened to in a long time
The story was very good and enjoyable. Very smart way to experience Angrons life through another’s perspective. But the best part of the audio book was the performance which was excellent.

brilliant
amazing book without a dull moment going full into angrons backstory and to why the world eaters would fall to worship khorne. Jonathan keeble's performance as always is brilliant and without a flaw, though i would have loved if angron had more bass in his voice.

Exceptional conceptualisation of Angron and the WE
Angron: the slave of Nuceria is a brilliant story of a downfall of a brotherhood. The Warhounds lost themselves with the wish of becoming one with a broken father and breaking themselves despite people hoping to cling onto an echo of brotherhood and honour. The World Eaters are finally one with Angron after breaking themselves willingly unlike their father upon whom all this was forced upon. The book offers interesting moral concepts that in my opinion only Horus Rising has been able to offer out of the books I've listened to.

Mishandled and Clumsy
Ian St Martin manages only to convolute a previous iconic and defining plot-point of Aaron Dembski-Bowden's superior "Betrayer" and "Butcher's Nails" and further manages to make the story of Angron more complicated to reconcile from both a lore and interpersonal stand-point.
Jonathan Keeble gives his usual competent performance with decent characterization and excellent pacing though I find his peculiar affectation of changing characterizations from what were brilliantly and iconically captured in his performance of earlier Horus Heresy works jarring.
Overall the story presents more like the author's attempt at rewriting the Istvan atrocity with sloppily wedged-in plot devices to answer the sizable questions his narrative presents. In this novella we are treated to a legion new to its single most defining negative attribute yet behaves with less reason and temperance than is exhibited during their sack of Armatura decades later despite the characterization of them having slid into increased excesses and loss of reason by that time. The moments of introspection about the character and personality of Angron in his moments of lucidity and rationality and prior to his mutilation are fascinating and revealing but inevitably fail to save this.

Not what I expected.
Listening and reading through various Khorne and world eaters stories, I expected this to be the simple story of Spartacus that is Angron. Instead I got a deep look into the sadness and fear that the true War Hounds felt, as their father primarch cast reason aside. Ripping the honor away from a legion that gained praise from the God Emperor himself. Normally in the grim dark, good and bad guys are no where to be seen. Only grey folk so the deeds may be completed for the future of humanity.
This book has a hero though. We know what the World Eaters become, so we know the fate of good and evil in this story. Before I did not know just how cruel the process was. I thought of the World Eaters as berserkers badasses. Now it’s more complex and I needed that.
Khorne has more honor than Angron.
Blood for the Blood God and all that.

Wow... just ... omg!!!
I love warhammer if anyone hasn’t noticed. But these books are beyond good. There’s something for everyone. Brotherhood, combat, wonton destruction, calculated Machiavellian planning, duty, courage and honor.
I never thought I’d feel compassion for Angron, but I really feel like he was abandoned. I recommend any Black Library book.

great story, excellent reader
First, Keeble is a marvelous reader. Every one of the books that he performs for Black Library makes the book that much better. Tone is accurate, he performs how the author wrote the pieces. If the author says slurred, then Keeble's character slurs. That sort of professionalism is too rare.
St. Martin doesn't write a lot for the Horus Heresy, but this book captured the soul of the old legion and its corruption at the hand of its newly founded primarch.
The only drawback is that the story jumps about a bit at times. You can piece together what happens, but the story could have benefitted.

If you like the World Eaters, Kharn, and Angron this book is a must read!

I understand Angron’s voice.
First let’s get this out the way, I personally hear angron as a tooth clenched snarl. Yes he’s meant to sound like a bear growling but would you hear that??? So yeah the next best thing is a strained mad man biting his own mouth so hard it bleeds. World eaters kill gloriously, angron made me sad, someone gets a deserved beating by Kharne. Honestly just happy the crazy killers are more than that and have character that makes you sad when you realize the end point.

Great
Sheds a lot of insight about the legion and it's primarch. The cast of characters are great, and the voice acting is superb

Great story, odd voice for Angron.
Great voice for Kharn, but Angron's voice was lacking quite a bit. Amazing story.

Excellent story and narration
I will actively seek this narrator in the future for my audio pleasure. This was my first 40k book and I thoroughly recommend it as a starting point for anyone interested. Bask in the tragedy of the World Eaters. Drink deep of the sorrow of the War Hounds.
