Summary

A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook

The Emperor’s Children seek sensation above all else, but when Xantine's warband come upon an isolated Imperial world, he sees an opportunity to pursue the finer things in life. How long can the proud warlord maintain his 'perfect' rule – and will the planet survive his reign?

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a tantalising look into the gleefully twisted minds of the Emperor's Children, as an arrogant warlord strives to 'save' an Imperial world from its own imperfections.

THE STORY

Once a united Legion, the disparate splinters of the Emperor’s Children now eke out a violent, hedonistic existence between the stars, raiding and ravaging worlds to indulge their fathomless appetites.

Xantine, proud leader of the Adored and a true son of Fulgrim, wants more than simply pillaging backwater worlds. He soon finds what he has been searching for – Serrine, a wealthy but cruel planet festering under misrule and inequality, cut off from the Imperium by warp storms. It is too tantalising a prize to ignore, and Xantine sets out to bring perfection to his new world.

But perfection is an elusive concept, and as threats creep from the depths of Serrine and the ranks of the Adored, the rot at the heart of Xantine’s perfect rule is laid bare...

Amazing voice acting

Fantastic listen offering a rare insight into the Emperors Children as well as the common 40k citizen.

Praise Slaanesh!! A new experience!

Excellently written tale of a heedless quest for decadence and worship. I like this new few on the Emperors Children, some great characters and pitifully magnificent they are. Great voice acting also. First of many hopefully!

Brilliant characterisation

A fantastic story of a lesser known warband, great plot and characters which perfectly captures not just the essence of the old Legion but the nature of Chaos itself. Loved it. highly recommend.

Rich and Richard did some great work here.

The Emperors Children in all their dysfunctional hedonistic glory! Write a sequel and I’ll buy that too!

Outstanding characters and plot

I’ve listened to 60+ black library books and this is one of the top novels in terms of plot and character development. The voice actor is spot on!

Actually quite good

And I did not that mean to sound like a slight on the author but I don’t like Emperors Children tales, this was quite enjoyable and kept me rapt throughout

A pretty good story with a lot of twists and turns.

Reminded me of some of the older 40K books, I liked it. Voice performance was good, too.

Great listen

By no means do you need to read them but it follows on nicely from the Fabius bile series and genefather. Great to see the emperors children get some love ahead of their hopeful codex release

Perfection!

There is no better word for this novel. It is utterly excellent. My favourite novel set in 40k and I have read quite a few. Kept up interest with no idea how it would end until the final minutes, Even better it was hard to work out how I actually wanted a novel about such depraved marines to end! The caveat is I do say this as something of an emperor's children fan but this is an all round great 40k novel.
