Story
Supreme Grand Master Azrael summons Lazarus and his Fifth Company to honour an old debt on the Knight world of Reis – a planet upon which the warp has set its hungry gaze. But Lazarus is not so sure Reis wants to be saved – its Knights are long lost, its governance is dogged by political strife, and internecine conflict hampers the world’s defence against an ancient evil. An evil which, like Lazarus himself, refuses to die.

Story
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.

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.

The Night Lords were once among the most potent forces of the Imperium, Space Marines who used fear itself as their weapon. Now, cast adrift from the Emperor's light and hunted as heretics after their monstrous betrayal, the Night Lords clad themselves in symbols of death and fight the Long War, bringing pain and terror to all who worship the corpse-god of Terra. A summons from Warmaster Abaddon sends these rebels on a dangerous journey that leads inexorably to a conflict with the Emperor's chosen warriors, the Blood Angels.

Publisher's Summary
A Horus Heresy novel
Hero. Villain. Protector. Destroyer. Loyal. Fallen. Luther embodies the duality at the heart of the Dark Angels – but what is his story? Prepare to find out....
Listen to It Because
Get new insights into one of the key figures of the Horus Heresy, who shaped the destiny of the Dark Angels for 10 millennia, in a new novel by the master of First Legion fiction, Gav Thorpe.
The Story
Knight of the Angelicasta. Saviour of the Lion. Grand Master of the Order. Lord of the Dark Angels. Protector of Caliban. Chaos Heretic. Destroyer of Caliban. Sorcerer of the Abyss. Arch-traitor. Dark Oracle. First of the Fallen.
Can one man be all of these things?
Kept alive and imprisoned for 10,000 years, Luther is the curse and the salvation of the Dark Angels made manifest. None are so close to the heart and history of the Chapter as the man that embodies all that was great about the First Legion and all that is shameful about the Dark Angels. In his story is writ the tale of the Horus Heresy and the fall from Enlightenment in a single long life. Glory, honour, pride, shame and betrayal weave a tapestry of truth and lies that the Supreme Grand Masters of the Dark Angels have sought to understand and unbind across 10 bloody millennia. Luther claims repentance for his past deeds, but was it his sins that condemned the Chapter to its secretive fate, or should warnings from history have been more closely heeded?
Written by Gav Thorpe. Narrated by Andrew James Spooner.

The tales and interrogation of Luther and how far the post HH Dark Angels have fallen.
First, despite being titles as a HH books, this story has little to do with the events of the Horus heresy and focuses entirely on Luthers life both before and after the arrival of the imperium and his imprisonment by the Dark Angels.
The book is decided into chapter each Named after an tale Luther tells to his interrogators to try and teach them a hard lesson he learned from his life and instead the Dark Angels hopelessly misinterpret each story and it’s meaning.
We get to hear his tales of caliban, the order and life before the imperium as he recites them to his tormentors.
And we get see see how far the fanatics of Dark angels have truly fallen from the Legion of old.
Overall an excellent audiobook for any 40k fan and very well done. Would definatly listen again!

A great story that spends a good amount of time looking back at the history of Caliban before the Lion rose to prominence as well as advancing the legend of the Dark Angels

Gab Thorpe doesn’t amazing job of depicting Luther and the 1st Legion. Love the narrative from Luthers perspective. Makes you understand, sympathize and possibly agree with Luther I’m his beliefs.

An In-depth Take on The Fall of the Imperium
I had no prejudice walking into this book as I misread and thought it'd be a Black Templars novel. Not at all disappointed however. This is an omnibus of the fall, where Luther wakes every 5-10 thousand years or so from stasis for another round of loveliness by his ever evolving chapter. every awakening is a new revelation. This is a novel that shows that Horus wasn't not wrong.

Gav Thorpe at his best
Gav Thorpe effectively crafted the intrigue of the Dark Angels with Angels of Darkness and Luther: First of the Fallen marks a return to that unreliable narrator that made Angels of Darkness so compelling.
Masterfully weaving multiple writing styles across the tale, you are drawn in to the life of one of the more interesting, but least explored characters in the Dark Angels tragic tale.
Needless to say, I enjoyed it and would recommend it highly.

One of the better BL books I've listened to
This book fleshes out Luther's character so well, and reveals a lot about the corruption of Caliban during the Horus Heresy. A must-read for Dark Angels fans.
