Summary
A Primarchs Novel
"Banish all thoughts of mercy, because mercy is the plaything of the coward and the lie of the tyrant. Today, the blade descends on tyranny's neck."
Mortarion makes his debut in the fifteenth Primarchs novel, and wastes no time in bringing his own brand of grim justice to the galaxy.
Listen to it because....
The fifteenth instalment in The Horus Heresy Primarchs series, The Pale King tells of the atrocities committed by the Reaper in the name of justice—and the consequences of challenging his methods.
The story:
Once, the Galaspar System suffered under the cruel regime of the Order. Billions of people toiled endlessly to enrich their masters, enduring short lives of poverty, squalor and fear. But Galaspar’s sins did not go unnoticed by the Imperium, and so Death itself sentenced the Order to annihilation.
Mortarion, newly uplifted to commander of the Death Guard, descended upon the world, and with him came a slaughter of untold proportions. The sheer brutality of Mortarion’s campaign left the Imperium appalled. Seeking to understand its horrors, two noble primarchs have come to Galaspar, summoning their brother to account for his actions. But the Pale King brooks no challenge to his methods, for when the scythe falls, it reaps a gruesome toll.
Written By David Annandale. Narrated by Jonathan Keeble. Running time 5 hours and 34 minutes (approx).

Enthralling and I want more
Refreshing story and my first time listening to David Annandale. I felt he did an excellent job on writing the Death Guard, Mortarion and especially the antagonists.
Fantastic narration by Jonathan Keeble. You can feel the passion he puts portraying scenes of frozen panic, and especially the scenes of combat from both sides' perspective. And of course, a few of his BOOMs™ which are always welcome to induce the imagination.

The best Mortarion
Annandale's Mortarion should be the base for all portrayals going forward, a brutal, by any means necessary liberator. I really wish we'd seen him like this throughout the Heresy

LOVED IT!
The story fully relates who mortarion is and why he is the way he is, i have not listened to a better primarch book yet. The narration is a full 10/10 with Jonathan keeble's narration feeling as a part of the story and i don't think anyone else would have lived with the story as he did. I highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in mortarion/the death guard.
