Summary
As the Emperor marshals his armies to reclaim the galaxy for the glory of mankind, one by one his Space Marine Legions are reunited with their missing primarchs. The XVIII Legion are still waiting to find their true identity, unaware their own lord has been found. In the Taras Division, legionaries face annihilation as they take a last, desperate stand against a monstrous ork invasion.
Meanwhile, on Nocturne, Vulkan has raised and trained a new force of warriors. Now it is the time for him to lead his sons into battle. Now it is the time for him to truly don the mantle of primarch, not only to save one half of his Legion but to forge a new, indivisible whole.

Lacklustre battles set before the HH
I couldn’t wait to read this story about Vulkan. A chance to delve into one of the most noble primarches of the hours Hersey.
The primarch series has so far been a mixed bag of insight into the origins of these heroes of the imperium. And a number of stories that have been nothing more than bolter and battles.
This story was the latter. A disappointing listen that lacked any further insight Into the 18th chapter or into its leader.
Although narrated well, for those of you looking for a more in-depth story. I would advise to look elsewhere.

Not good at all
Just like the last David Annandale book I read, the roboute Guilliman one, it’s just astartes smashing orks for 9 hours. No character development or nuanced story telling, literally just salamanders killing orcs, it was a chore to get through. Plus the narrator affects this weird Jamaican accent for Vulkan and some of the other salamanders that is just so silly!

More an SM Battles novel than a Primarch novel
Very little to do with Vulkan other than the fact that he is present during these events.
More like an SM Battles novel (and an extremely mediocre one at that).
GW really need to decide what they want from the Primarchs novels as they are horribly inconsistent. Some give a great insight in to backgrounds and others like this one, merely feature a Primarch and no more.
Very disappointing.

Not about Vulkan
Disappointed. Story made no sense ... lots of bolter porn and orks battles but little about Vulkan. Voice acting was good.

A bit something and nothing
Like most of the Primarchs series, well read, but adding little to the larger story of the Horus Heresy. .

Surprisingly not bad
Went into this expecting bad writing as with all previous titles from Annandale that I've run into. But I got pleasantly surprised, it's not half bad.

Short but sweet....
A stronger entry in this series. No new boys meeting old boys angst. Just a well paced short read that has some decent action scenes and fills in a nice bit of story for the birth of the 18th legion.

Forged In Flame
This is the second of these Primarch books I've listened to, and not only is the story compelling and great to listen to but J. Keeble has once again absolutely knocked it out of the park with his narrations. If you are a fan of 40k's lore, even if you aren't a Space Marine fan, this is a brilliant listen. Hoping that all of the Primarch series will be on Audible eventually!

Orc slaughter at its finest. Narrated wonderfully. After it sets itself up, its absolutely non stop
