Summary
An Adeptus Mechanicus novel.
In the wake of the Great Rift, Belisarius Cawl turns his attention to the abandoned world of Sotha. Once home to the Scythes of the Emperor, it also hides a long-buried secret...and an ancient evil.
Listen to it because:
Cawl is one of the most fascinating characters in the Dark Imperium, and Guy Haley gets right into his memory circuits as he seeks ancient secrets that will blow your mind.
The story:
Belisarius Cawl, Archmagos Dominus of the Adeptus Mechanicus, is the most brilliant mind alive. For 10,000 years he has furthered the cause of mankind, working under the aegis of the Emperor and Lord Commander Roboute Guilliman to prevent the inexorable march of the alien and the traitor. Many call him heretic, but all must recognise the magnitude of his achievements, for who else but he was entrusted to create a new generation of Space Marines?
Who else but the great Belisarius Cawl could even accomplish such a task? Now, in the wake of the Great Rift and the Indomitus Crusade, his ambitions bring him to the long-dead world of Sotha, once home to the Scythes of the Emperor, now a barren wasteland devoured by the vile Tyranids. Accompanied by Tetrarch Felix and his elite warriors, it is here that Cawl believes the lynchpin of his mysterious Great Work lies. But uncovering it is a near impossible task, one in which the Archmagos must overcome an ancient evil that threatens to extinguish the last hope of humanity.
Written by Guy Haley. Total running time 11 hours and 11 minutes. Performed by John Banks.

Great story relevant to current developments in the lore
My favourite 40k novel so far. Sure, it is an action story set in a universe that knows little other than war, but the story and dialogue is well-written and there were some really cool passages. I was surprised how much I like the character of Belisarius Cawl and I think this book provides some useful background to current events in 40k, like the Indomitus Crusade.
The narration is also very good!

Cemented Belisarius Cawl as one of my favourite 40
The best book I've listened to in the new lore, has loads of call backs going as far back as before the Horus Heresy

Cawl is fast becoming my favourite 40k character
Cawl is fast becoming my favourite 40k character. As we find out more about his past and ambitions you see him as more human than the Astartes despite his physical condition! If you're a fan of the 40k lore this is a critical read to bring new insights to how Guilliman and Cawl are trying to save humanity.

Loved it.
This is performed well, has engaging characters and an interesting story line that really does justice to the earlier pharos stories of the HH.

Annoying
I found the use of bang within the story annoying. So much so I couldn’t finish the book. A shame as I was enjoying the story.

Excellent and entertaining
Really enjoyed this and for maximum enjoyment, listen to the Dark Imperium trilogy first as this makes an excellent epilogue and ties in nicely to some events from those books.
