Summary

A Space Marine Conquests novel.

The story:

By their noble sacrifice is our world made mighty.

Deep within the Segmentum Solar, an Imperial Fists Honour Guard lies slaughtered upon the very world they swore to protect. The mysterious cult responsible grows in power by the day. Their malevolent tenets poisoning the hearts of Ghyre’s citizens, from its lowliest miner to its arrogant ruling class. To purge this threat, the Imperial Fists send Primaris Librarian Aster Lydorran and his tenacious brothers. 

These masters of siegecraft face an insurgent foe beyond any they have fought before. As dark omens proliferate, Lydorran finds himself embroiled in a battle of wits and wills with an enemy whose psychic might may surpass even his own. But this is a patient enemy, and with every passing hour, Ghyre’s doom grows closer. The stoic Sons of Dorn must leave their walls and embrace new allies, or risk unleashing the apocalypse itself upon the very doorstep of Terra.

Intense and action packed

With a surprise appearance in the middle. I love the way they depicted the genesteelers cults but I'm a bit sad that it's always the a few of my favourite chapter characters gets killed. Awesome writing and intense story

Average

Story is fine but some small issues spoil the enjoyment, mostly the narration. The narrator seems to be shouting most of the time and mispronounces some odd words that spoil the rhythm.

An enjoyable listen and it’s nice to see the cult get some time as the enemy but it’s not up there with the best black library fiction.

Not the best

The narrator mispronounced a lot of words. The space marines all felt a bit stupid.

An okay but not exceptional book

The story was rather average, I felt. I'd hoped for a more detailed insight into the Sons of Dorn than was presented here. I also found the central character's self doubt to be wearing, at times.

My least favourite aspect of this audio book was the narrator; firstly wholly night begin with 'w' but it shouldn't be voiced. Secondly, the choice of accents for some of the characters was so comedic that I found it distracting. Where's Toby Longworth when you need him?

Good story but lots of shouting

The plot lines are always intricate and exciting, and this is no different. I enjoyed the story and most of the characters. However, it would seem that most of the Space Marine characters are continuously shouting at each other or other people - other characters are more moderated in their emotions. Whilst this may be accurate (Imperial Fists and Space Wolves are not known for being overly calm by all accounts) it becomes a little tough on the ears when every conversation seems to end in shouting, requiring a turning of the volume down.

Narrator does well to show case different characters and inject some variety where he can - I just feel the script forces him to be loud too much of the time

Nice to see the GSC but....

Great to see the GSC but the story is dull and feels like it could be half as long. Very standard space marine bolter action (probably doesn't help that the imperial fists are so boring!).

Excellent space marine tale

Sons of Dorn, genestealers and deathwatch alongside some Astra militarum heroics (albeit not too much) make for an action filled, quasi religious zealotry we have come to love in WH40k

Far too predictable, inconsistent and loud….

You could see the story unfold, extremely easily. Sons of Dorn in my opinion were not portrayed well. Very mindless and bloodthirsty. There is constant shouting, anger and rage which isn’t typical to the fists at all. It’s not too bad, but certainly not a great book.
