Summary

Roboute Guilliman has broken the orkish advance that threatened Fenris, but an ancient foe has returned to threaten the very heart of humanity—the Segmentum Solar.

Listen to it because...

Guy Haley continues the riveting story of the Indomitus Crusade as it sweeps across the galaxy, still reeling from the opening of the Great Rift.

The story:

The Indomitus Crusade continues its war across the stars. The primarch Roboute Guilliman has finally broken through the orkish threat bedevilling the sectors near Fenris, and makes ready to push on his bid to stabilise the Imperium Sanctus—but old and bitter foes stand in his way.

Kor Phaeron, the Dark Cardinal, threatens the previously stable core of the Segmentum Solar. Waves of rebellion instigated by his infiltrating priests suggest an imminent, large-scale invasion by the Word Bearers Legion. Worse yet, the Dark Cardinal's warriors are targeting the Black Ships, threatening to starve Terra of the pyskers the Emperor needs to survive.

Through this turbulent warzone, Inquisitor Rostov continues his search for the Hand of Abaddon. Yet when strange, miraculous visions are traced back to the astropathic relay on Srinagar, his quest is diverted—for the visions foretell hope for the Imperium, a hope the fanatical worshippers of Chaos will do anything to snuff out....

Primaris Getting a Spanking!

The description of the Word Bearers terminators clash with primaris marines was awesome! You really got a feel for their toughness and how little damage a primaris marine can inflict on them. There's a great part where they discuss the value of the armour and the lengths they would go to retrieve it.

Hope to see more primaris deaths in the future!

Dawn of Fire back on track

After the disappointment of the Wolftime, a return to Guy Hayley was most appreciated. This is also the first in the series to include recurring characters (other than Guilliman) and that helps to build momentum. Granted, this installment was more laying of foundations, bit there are many characters (on both sides) I'm looking forward to see grow.

Black Templars are di**s

Very good story, very action packed towards the end with great characters. Good progression of the series so far 👍 👌

Progression at last

The ongoing story at last starts to entwine and reveal snippets of what may be to come as well as giving us damning evidence of Black Templar heresy!

Diminishing returns

Every iteration of this series seems to be getting worse.

This was disappointing especially from Haley who has previously delivered such great entries to Black Library lore.

It also wasn't helped by John Banks' somewhat monotonous delivery.

okayish.

the caricatures of the chaos marines are just... bad. Flat and rather boring. The BT queat line ways it up a bit.
