About this listen
A Great War is coming, and it will engulf the Imperium of Man. The Space Marines of the Alpha Legion, the last and most secretive of all the Astartes brotherhoods, arrive on a heathen world to support the Imperial Army in a pacification campaign against strange and uncanny forces. But what drives the Alpha Legion? Can they be trusted, and what side will they choose when the Great War begins? Loyalties are put to the test, and the cunning schemes of an alien intelligence revealed, as the fate of mankind hangs in the balance.

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 Ianthe, war is all too familiar. A former soldier in the Astra Militarum, she now serves Inquisitor Covenant as an agent of the Throne. Her first mission sees her investigating a cult called the Children of Eternity. Falling foul of the local Enforcers, Ianthe soon learns that war in the shadows is seldom straightforward and that the local, angry law-keepers are the least of her troubles.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 285
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.

On the prison world of Zartak, darkness has fallen on arbitrators and inmates alike. The Night Lords have come, bringing with them the shadow of fear and pain. But these monsters are not the only ones with an interest in Zartak. From the void, running on silent, another fleet emerges. These Space Marine warriors are grey-clad and white-faced, and their eyes are as black as the Outer Dark – the savage Carcharodon Astra.

Fell times have come to the galaxy. Cadia has fallen, destroyed by the onslaught of Chaos. A Great Rift in the warp has opened, and from its depths spew daemons and the horrors of Old Night. But all hope is not lost… A hero, long absent, has returned, and with him comes the wrath of the Ultramarines reborn. Roboute Guilliman has arisen to lead the Imperium out of darkness on a crusade the likes of which has not been seen since the fabled days of the Emperor. But never before have the forces of Ruin amassed in such numbers, and nowhere is safe from despoliation.

smoke and mirrors
this was my second attempt to reading it, and ended up finishing it. first time I couldn't follow what was going on, lost interest, and dropped it.
Tried again months later and finished it. Ended up being a good one, just a slower burn up to the end, which was worth it.
It follows the imperial army mostly with some alpha legion on the side for a good first half of the book, then the second half was when things started to unravel.

Hard to get into but is worth the trouble
Lots of people say that this book can be skipped but I say its worth the read. Its pretty much gives reason to the actions of the alpha legion.
The story can be be quite complicated at the start but once things start unraveling it becomes a fantastic read.

Intrigué and nuance in the 30th millenium
Point form review
-humanized space marines (but they still feel super human)
-expanded on how the great crusade worked
-intrigue and backstabbing abound
-female characters feel a little like arm candy for the male characters
Would recommend for people who are interested in Warhammer in general and for long time fans. Very entertaining.

Slower than usual for Dan
I really wanted to like this, but it was a slog. I love the idea of alpha legion and wanted to learn more about them. It's a well written book but it's a slow pacing, slower than in used to coming from Guants Ghosts. The performance was amazing as usual.

So good, so unpredictable! so... alpha legion.
Excellent writing, and presentation by the narrator. There are times I paused it not wanting to know what happens next because of the suspense.... only to return 5 minutes later to continue. This one is well worth anyones time!

I'm Alpharius! We are all Alpharius!
#Audible1 The Alpha Legion. A legion that works in the shadow. Of all the legions in the WH 40K saga, this is the least known of all the legions to me. Renowned for their infiltration tactics, this book tells the story of their way of waging war. Throughout the entire audiobook, I never knew what was happening and why until the author Dan Abnett tips his hand. There is no doubt that the Alpha Legion is moving the characters through this story to their own ends. I found the book to be somewhat monotonous in details at times and could not get invested in the characters. While it was well written, my personal tastes did not find this book as pleasing as others written by Dan Abnett.
