À propos de cet audio

Audiobook 1 in the Scouring Series

As the Siege of Terra ends, there are many loose ends – Traitors trying desperately to escape, a monumental vacuum of power to fill, and a crumbling galactic government to see to. Those who hold on to power must decide how to wield it, and a new structure must be put in place, all while desires to exact vengeance run high.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
It's the beginning of an epic series. Find out what happens after the cataclysmic events of the Horus Heresy, as an unsteady Imperium must find its footing and learn how to exist without the guidance of the Emperor.

THE STORY
Horus is dead. Terra lies in ruins. The Emperor is silent. Amid the rubble of the Palace, shell-shocked survivors emerge into the light of an uncertain dawn. New powers are present now, ones that have travelled the length of the galaxy to bring salvation to the Imperium, though they are as readily cast as usurpers as redeemers. The survivors of the Traitors’ Grand Armada, now scattered and desperate to escape vengeance, are riven with doubt and dissension, and their gods too are silent. Amid all the grief and confusion, some hopeful souls believe the war to be over and an era of renewal just ahead. But wiser heads know that this war can never end, and that the only question remaining is who shall rise to power within the perilous new age, and who shall fall.

Written by Chris Wraight. Narrated by Jonathan Keeble. Runtime 15 hours and 28 minutes approx.

Really good book solid opening to the very confusing time that is the scouring I hope they write more and go into deep detail about cloudy events such as the iron cage or the individual primarchs and why they leave or even get lost I’d love it

I really like the politics of it

As always, Jonathan Keeble carry’s any poor writing with an absolute killer of a performance. He truly is the voice of the Heresy.

Great Narration

This book wont forward the plot of the scouring far but sets it up and the politic of the setting. Definitely glazes the ultramarines hard. Theres some good interactions with primarchs and seeing their growth. But over all enjoyable and a good listen.

Change from 30k-40k

Solid start to a new series. Gorilaman is selfish power grabbing ass while everyone else trying to do what's right.

Solid start

The post Horus Heresy lore is off to a great start. While it seems like hope is being restored to the Imperium from the depths of certain defeat, all is not as it seems. Beneath the surface, the errors of the past continue to be repeated.

It is a strong beginning to the series, offering plenty of action alongside a solid overview of the political climate within the broken remains of the Imperium. This book also succeeds in humanizing the Primarchs. Rather than appearing as the leaders of the post heresy imperium, they feel more like the Emperor’s hapless children stumbling along without his guidance.

While you will need some background on the Heresy and its characters to truly enjoy this novel, it is well worth the effort. Regarding the reviews mentioning the female Custodian: if her inclusion is enough to ruin the book for you, that is truly unfortunate. The lore in 40k has changed massively over the decades, so do not let one adjustment spoil such a vast universe for you. That is just my opinion, of course, and I look forward to enjoying this universe for decades to come.

Great Start To The Post Heresy Lore
