Publisher's Summary

In the age of the Dark Imperium, Primarch Guilliman’s Primaris Ultramarines are a shining beacon in the darkness of war.

On the Imperial Hive World of Ikara IX, Chaplain Kastor and Apothecary Polixis, brothers in blood as well as in battle, stand firm against the endless Greenskin horde. But a threat is looming. An invasion like no other assaults the broken city of Shebat, as the crazed warlord Urgork arrives to lay waste to the Imperial forces and capture a Primaris Marine for his own twisted ends.

As Kastor and Polixis find themselves separated by the disaster that unfolds, the brothers must turn the tide of war to win the battles that rage within their very natures, as well as those upon the battlefield.

Another good read.

I never knew much about the side of Orks, how they think or act. The author did well with telling their vile personalities and grim display of sadistic humour. Even the big boss, unlike others, had purpose to come to this world.

The Astartes are wonderful as well and displayed a more uniqueness of the Primaris Space Marines. Another that I have not see is the two blood and battle brothers. How they show different personalities like one side of a coin.

What can I say about the Narrator? A magnificent bastard he is, voiced each character that signify them pretty well.

Good overall

Good story and well acted. I wish there was a bit more exposition on the main Ork in the story. Otherwise, it was very well done.

uncomplicated, action packed, easy to listen to

This one felt like comfort food. You're not going to be shocked or absorbed by this one, you're probably not going to remember a lot from this novel in a year or two, but it's fun to listen to. It's brutal, a bit cheesy but ultimately enjoyable, at least it was for me. It's written in a very straightforward way, which means you won't need to be super concentrated on it to follow the story. A lot of cool moments, brotherhood and space marines connecting with humans. Orks have very little spotlight other than being blown apart but there are some entertaining goofy orks moments. Overall, it's one of the better w40k audiobooks to listen to when painting or going for hikes I think.
