Description

A Warhammer 40,000 novel.

The Emperor's Spears are a Chapter on the edge of destruction, last watchmen over the Elara's Veil nebula. Now, the decisions of one man, Amadeus Kaias Incarius of the Mentor Legion, will determine the Chapter's fate.... 

Listen to it because:

Aaron Dembski-Bowden has turned his attention to creating (and maybe destroying) a Space Marine Chapter in detail, and this is your chance to discover their fate.  

The story: 

The scattered worlds of the Elara's Veil nebula were once protected by the oath of unity sworn by three mighty Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. The Star Scorpions were undone by flaws in their genetic coding. The Celestial Lions were ravaged by the Inquisition for sins they did not commit. Now, after hundreds of years, only the Emperor's Spears still keep their vigil. They are barbarian watchmen against the Outer Dark, bloodied but unbroken in their long duty.  

Amadeus Kaias Incarius, a brother of the Mentor Legion, is commanded to cross the Great Rift and assess the Spears' war-readiness, only to be drawn into the chaotic plight of a depleted crusade on the Imperium's benighted frontier. The decisions he makes, far from the God-Emperor's light, will decide the fate of the war-torn Chapter.  

Written by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. Running time 11 hours and 46 minutes. Performed by Kelly Hotten.

Warhammer 40,000 At It's Prime

Spear of the Emperor is possibly the best novel that I've read that takes place in the current era of the Warhammer 40,000 setting.

The novel explores the life of Humans bound in service to one of the chapters of Space Marines, and how vastly different Space Marines themselves may be due to their chapter culture and world view. It also explores renegade forces, and most importantly, the dangers of Imperial politics and paranoia.

Unlike some Warhammer 40,000 novels which tend to heavily focus on action, Spear of the Emperor explores the universe itself, and has in depth character development. This increases the tension in many scenes, not only combat, and asks the question, "just how noble is the Imperium?"

This read is perfect for people getting into the setting for the first time, and veterans alike. A must read in my opinion.

Enjoyable.

I wish they had some male voice actors for the space marines because I cant help but think of Zariah or a really masculine russian woman when I hear Braik speak.

Great Take and VERY Grim.

If you like stories not Astartes, this is a good one. And it's not Ciaphus nor Ravenor, it's so much more bleak and is amplified by the fact the Spears haven't seen an Empire ship in a century. And it's Grim even for grimdark. Loved it, going back and listening to it again.

Great 40k novel

Great narration, interesting storyline but I would say if you like this kind of fiction you will thoroughly enjoy the works from the Horus Heresy! I enjoyed the description of technology, the characters and the protagonist but overall it wasn't as eventful as I had wanted. Still a great read of you're a 40k fan!

Best 40k book, greatest narrator in audible

Though this may not have the same amount of action as a normal 40k books, it is by far the best I have read.
Amazing character develop, fantastic story, and the narrator is the best I have ever heard.

Delightful look into the space marines from afar

This story was very well written though at times bogged down by time shifts and over complicated description. Overall the writing shines through and the characters stay true to the lore, adding to the already awesome lore built in this universe.

ADB never misses

another amazing 40k novel from Aaron Demski-bowden. he continues to push the envelope when it comes to stoey telling in the 41st millenium.

Kelly Gotten had an excellent performance of the novel as well. can't wait for the next installment.

A must read

This is exceptionally well written and the narrator Kelly does a wonderful job portraying the characters. One of my top 40k reads so far.

To think that this book dares to give us the perspective not from the view of a space marine, but of a mere mortal; a human, female thrall serving under the Mentor chapter. It is so often that the marines are the main focus of everything that this comes as such a welcoming surprise. The fact that it's so lovely written and narrated just makes it all the better.

There are still space marines present, of course, but they act more as a motivator of sorts to help push the narrative forward for our protagonist. They also help to emphasize the split in cultures between not only mere humans to space marines, but between marines of different chapters as well.

I definitely recommend this peice to anyone who is fan of character development and just a well written story. You don't need to be a fan of the emperors spears to enjoy it. Heck, if anythihg this book made me a fan of them.
