Doom has come upon the Thousand Sons. A plague of fire and dust stalks the Legion across time and space, born from the sorcerous Rubric that saved them from annihilation and damned them for eternity. One by one, the spirits of the Rubricae are vanishing from the prisons of their armour—and one by one, living sorcerers are cursed to take their place. Driven by the obsessive need to save his Legion and find redemption, Ahzek Ahriman seeks the time-altering technology of the forgotten necrons to overwrite his past mistakes.

Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

Ahriman, greatest sorcerer of the Thousand Sons and architect of the Rubric that laid his Legion low, continues to walk the path towards salvation, or damnation. Searching for a cure for his Legion, he is forced to consider - was the great ritual somehow flawed from the very beginning? The answer may lie within the mysterious artefact known as the Athenaeum of Kalimakus, a grimoire of forgotten knowledge that is reputed to contain the exact words of the lost Book of Magnus...or, perhaps, even a transcription of the primarch’s deepest and most secret thoughts.

Publisher's Summary
As his Homo Novus project comes to fruition, Fabius Bile faces a new threat - the dreaded haemonculi of the Thirteen Scars. Can he marshal his forces to protect his creations, or are the New Men doomed to death?
Listen to it because: discover what happens when you cross the Haemonculus covens...and what lengths Fabius Bile will go to in order to survive their deadly attentions.
The story: in the centuries since his return from Commorragh, Fabius Bile has distanced himself from the affairs of friend and foe, content only to oversee the cruel evolution of his New Men. But when his creations are threatened by the monstrous haemonculi of the Thirteen Scars, the Manflayer is forced to seek out new allies and old enemies alike in an effort to preserve all that he has built. Homo Novus must survive...even if Fabius Bile must die to ensure it.

Parta mutatus
Unlike the previous 2 entries, the stakes start high and stay that way for the rest of the story, so definitely some good progression there. Once again, however, the one thing that falls short is the differentiating of voices. John Banks does a great job, but at times I had trouble telling who was who, and I recall one character being given a different voice from what John gave them in the previous book.
Regardless, still a worthy ending to this little insight of Fabious Bile's life that started in Primogenitor. He went from being a character I thought I would despise to being one of my favorites, and I have this trilogy to thank for that.

Climatic end to a great trilogy!
I have had a growing interest in the Emperors Children and picked this series up mainly for that reason. In the end I can't recommend this enough for fans of Fabius or the EC. All of the characters are fantastic from Fabius to the Harlequins, Drukhari, and even a glimpse at Fulgrim as he is now. They narrator does a fantastic job. I'll be looking into more by this author and narrator.

If you like chaos/Fabius stories, buy it.
It's sublime.
40k novels are often hit-or-miss, but this one is a homerun. I'd suggest getting the first two books in the trilogy first though. part of what made this one so fun was the way it advanced characters and stroylines that began earlier in the series. It was a lovely read though, and one I had long looked forward to. Bravo.

Better ending then I'd thought it would be for the series. Used to dislike Fabius Bile, and the Emperor's Children. This series has utterly changed my perspective. Fabius the ultimate mad scientist, and has all the returning characters from the prior books, good fun. Also LOTS of Drukari, even Drukari POV scenes.
