Story
Saint Sabbat has brought a miracle to the war-torn city of Ghereppan, but one battle is not the war. The voice of Magister Sek still haunts the Imperial forces, defying their victory, mocking their faith. Between the trickery of the Archenemy and the mercurial visions of the Saint, the Space Marines of Damocles Squad must find the truth: is this their one chance for a final victory on Urdesh, or is it a trap that could destroy them all?

After seven long years of conflict, the Horus Heresy nears its end. But now, as the Warmaster Horus marches on Terra to rip his father from the Throne, the seat of the arch-traitor’s power lies empty. Cthonia, a world once dominated by brutal murder-gangs, is occupied by the Emperor’s praetorians—the indomitable Imperial Fists. For the Sons of Horus, this outrage demands a reckoning.

For centuries, Prince Maesa of the nomad clans has wandered the Mortal Realms. Exiled from his people for the crime of loving a human woman, Maesa's woes were compacted by bereavement—for human lives are but brief sparks compared to those of the aelves. Ever since his beloved Ellamar's death, Maesa has quested tirelessly in search of a means to return her to his arms. Now, accompanied by his spite companion Shattercap, Maesa nears the end of his quest—single-mindedly daring the deserts of Shyish, the fury of slumbering demigods, and the wrath of daemons to revive his true love.

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.

Missing Chapter
- By Pricy on 18-11-20
Summary
A Warhammer 40,000 Audio
War rages across the surface of Urdesh as the Iron Snakes Space Marines attempt to hold the planet against a tide of Chaos forces.
Listen to it because: Urdesh is a brutal world, the fires of its forge-cities mixing with the many volcanoes and an endless expanse of battle wreckage littering the plains. When the reincarnation of Saint Sabbat herself appears on the blasted battlefields of Urdesh, powerful forces race to secure that which may decide the ultimate fate of the world and the crusade at large.
The story: the mighty world of Urdesh is burning. The smoke of war mingles with that of her many volcanoes; the wreckage of battle litters her forge-cities and chokes her fertile seas. Until the warriors of the Imperium can free Urdesh from the grip of the Anarch, the future of the entire Sabbat Worlds Crusade will hang in the balance.
Across these ashen battlefields strides Brother-Captain Priad and the warriors of Damocles Squad. They must keep safe one of the Imperium’s greatest weapons: the Beati, the reincarnated Saint Sabbat herself, whose very presence on Urdesh inspires the Imperial armies on to glory. But the enemy has plans for the Saint too, and against the malice of the Anarch and the trickery of the warp, the Iron Snakes may truly need a miracle to prevail....
Written by Matthew Farrer. Narrated by Harry Myers.

Nothing happens
This is a story in which absolutely nothing happens. Maybe it was skirting round the edges of events on Urdesh in Gaunt's Ghosts and worrying about intruding on the Dan Abnett-verse that made Matt Farrer so timid. I don't know, it's just a guess to try and explain how he came to write a story in which NOTHING HAPPENS.
The most interesting thing about this story is the first chapter, because Milo from Gaunt's Ghosts turns up. That's kind of fun. Then it all goes south. A bunch of space marines are assigned to protect Saint Sabbat. All sorts of interesting conflicts and personality issues are suggested by this - how do the Iron Snakes feel about the 'living saint' and her ability to do weird stuff in the name of the Emperor? How do they square it with their belief that the Emperor is just a man, not a god? Well I will just tell you - this isn't explored at all. In fact, nothing about the space marines personalities is explored. There is no conflict. There are no character arcs. Nobody goes on a journey of self discovery or has their eyes opened to some new truth, This story is (in the words of Homer Simpson) ' Just a bunch of stuff that happened.'
Harry Myers, who was very good narrating on Day of Ascension, here sounds likes he's losing the will to live. Someone else mentioned the speed of his narration. Honestly, you'd speed up if you were forced to read this out loud.
It really is dull as anything. I can't be more explicit about this. It's just dull.

Chapter 41 Book 18: The plot goes somewhere
It might be an audible thing but there was far too many cut aways. Some chapters were about a minute before you were lunged back across to another location. Never left an audiobook barely knowing any of the characters in it. The plot didn't actually go very far considering the amount of run time and I felt cheated by the CONTINUED IN THE NEXT book when it was about too. All in all probably in my top 5 worst books.

Half a book
First of narration was great, Harry Myers is awesome.
As for the story itself, Farrer does a good job of writing like Dan Abnett. It does seem like there is a lot of “bolt p0rn” filler. Like, we don’t need a second by second detailed fight about a random trooper. I know it’s trying to show the human element and contrast it with the Iron Snakes, but I was hoping for more about the Saint herself, like the recent Celestine book which was done from her POV, but we get basically nothing about her. She’s in the background but not really part of the story.

Matthew Farrer is Black Library’s secret weapon
Some of the best action scenes that I’ve read in a BL novel; it moves at a frantic pace from fantastic set-piece to fantastic set-piece, and it’s always more than welcome to see non-Imperial perspectives in a 40k novel.

A long and tedious story about something to do with wolves or space marines. Maybe both. A saint was present and she was weird or calmly majestic or something. I don’t know, I’m just glad it’s over.

Eh
This story is all over the place with all of its story archs which makes it hard to follow in this format. Lets go over and do a single chapter about this one dude who has minimal impact on the main story line. I don't care what this one random chaos marine is thinking for 5 min who then dies in the next chapter. What does that have to do with the price of milk? The story does make sense but it could have been written and put together better with a bit more backstory to bring people up to speed if you haven't read everything regarding this crusade up to this point.

A skin deep story of war
If you are looking for the story of a conflict but not of the characters fighting in it then this would be for you. The descriptions of the action, of that there’s much, are good. The personalities of the characters fighting do not shine nearly as bright. Urdesh has a lot of characters but nearly all of them only have a few lines of characterization between conflicts or do not return in any meaningful fashion. There are little to no conflicts outside of actual fighting. Given the multitude of characters with little difference between a lot of the voices and names just blend together. Most of the time I could not remember if a character was recurring or not based on voice or personality. I feel like this is less of a failure on the part of the voice actor than the author himself. If you want dumb action with hazy impact then go for it.
