Story
Many are the sagas of Leman Russ, Lord of Winter and War, most fearsome of the Emperor's primarch sons. At the height of the Great Crusade, his Space Wolves fight to bring the rebel world of Dulan to compliance. Enraged by the defiance of the tyrant Durath, Russ has pledged to strike him down personally - but his brother Lion El'Jonson of the Dark Angels advises more caution. With the might of two Legions arrayed against Durath, tensions nevertheless run high, and the rivalry between the Wolf and the Lion threatens to engulf them all.

Of all the Emperor’s sons who fell to Chaos, it is perhaps Magnus the Red whose tale is the most tragic. Sanctioned because of his desire for knowledge, chastised, judged, and shattered to his very elements – there is much for the Crimson King to feel vengeful for. Yet revenge is not the only thing that draws him to Terra alongside the Warmaster’s besieging armies. He seeks something, a fragment, the missing piece of himself that lies within the most impregnable place on the planet – the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace.

But all hope is not lost… A hero, long absent, has returned, and with him comes the wrath of the Ultramarines reborn. Roboute Guilliman has arisen to lead the Imperium out of darkness on a crusade the likes of which has not been seen since the fabled days of the Emperor. But never before have the forces of Ruin amassed in such numbers, and nowhere is safe from despoliation.

Kept alive and imprisoned for 10 thousand years, Luther is the curse and the salvation of the Dark Angels made manifest. None are so close to the heart and history of the Chapter as the man that embodies all that was great about the First Legion and all that is shameful about the Dark Angels. In his story is writ the tale of the Horus Heresy and the fall from Enlightenment in a single long life. Glory, honour, pride, shame and betrayal weave a tapestry of truth and lies that the Supreme Grand Masters of the Dark Angels have sought to understand and unbind across 10 bloody millennia.

After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Summary
Long before the coming of the Imperium, the realm of Ultramar was ruled by Roboute Guilliman, the last Battle King of Macragge. Even after learning of his true heritage as a primarch son of the Emperor of Mankind, he strove to expand his domain as efficiently and benevolently as possible, with the XIII Legion Ultramarines as his alone to command.
Now, facing a rival empire on the ork-held world of Thoas, Guilliman must choose his weapons carefully - otherwise his dream of a brighter future could be lost forever.

5 hours of relentless battle description
Having read a few 40K novels ( The Night Lords omnibus and The Iron Snakes omnibus), I was impressed by the writing. The Primarchs are very interesting characters and so I wanted to find out more about each one.
The quality of the voice actor and the audio itself is excellent, well paced and expertly delivered. However, this really is not a science fiction book. It is essentially a military encounter. The story focuses on an Ultramrines battle with Orks on the planet Thoas. I found this incredibly tedious and there is very little exploration of Guilliman himself. We learn very little about him. I won't be exploring any more Primarch books after this and will start on The Sisters of Battle or some of the Horus Heresy. If you like descriptions of battles, you'll love it but not my taste.

This book doesn't add anything to Guilliman's background, it simply concentrates on a single boring engagement with an Ork held world. Incredibly dull and doesn't add anything to the HH lore.

So this was my first audio book, and honestly my first book. And oh boy was it a good one… although it wasn’t the longest book, half way in I couldn’t do anything else but listen and had found myself caring for the characters and having opinions. I get it’s a book about a battle and not really about individuals, but it gave me an amazing idea of the Warhammer world and can’t wait to read more!

Started really well, set up some genuinely interesting character conflicts and tensions. Then it got pretty boring, and as I was waiting for the conclusions to the character arcs it said “epilogue” and I was like “what?!!”

This book doesn't cover his childhood of really talk of the emperor, it's a slow drag of battle after battle with foreboding forshowdowning of the future. It well written just not what I was looking for.

I love the ultramarines... chaos players hate them. Even some loyalists don’t like them. Black Library does a magnificent job as is expected. But I must admit with all due respect, my Lord Guilliman is just one big computer.
If you need to learn theoretical vs practical ... this is the book.

It's fine
It's just a story about Ultramarines killing Orks. It doesn't really give any insight into Guilliman, he honestly didn't even have to be in this story.
Otherwise, if you can get passed the characters saying "Theoretical" and "Practical" 72 times, it's ok.
