Publisher's summary

The Shadow Crusade has begun. While the Ultramarines reel from Kor Phaeron's surprise attack on Calth, Lorgar and the rest of the Word Bearers strike deep into the realm of Ultramar.

Their unlikely allies, Angron and the World Eaters, continue to ravage each new system they come across - upon the garrison planet of Armatura, this relentless savagery may finally prove to be their undoing. Worlds will burn, Legions will clash and a primarch will fall.

Incredible that’s all I can say

The relationships and the character building in this book was amazing. I would actually like to go back for another listen soon simply to catch everything I could of possibly missed.

Action-packed but with deep emotional moments!

a great blend between action and intriguing dialogue. I highly recommend this as a follow-up to Know No Fear.

Excellent!

Just awesome, arguably the best book in the entire HH series. Do not skip it, it’s well worth picking up.

amazing.

truly amazing. I never was a World Eaters fan, after this book I am. I didn't really care for the parts that didn't involve space marines or the primaries but thats just me.

A great tale!

This is a great book. Story, Narration, and the characters are all 10/10 for me. I have listened to it many times and highly suggest it. You really feel for Angron in this story.

One of the Best Yet

Im actually not really a fan of the World Eaters or Word Bearers, but this was easily one of the best books in the Heresy series so far. There were so many likable characters in this, which is amazing considering some of them are demons and crazed blood thirsty killers. Angron himself is made to be interesting and actually intelligent, even witty.

There are more scenes in this book than any other I've listened to that I could easily see being turned into a movie.

Of course the performance of Keeble is outstanding, as it always is. His voice for Lorgar is honestly perfect (although I was disappointed with the voice he gave to Magnus).

I had very little expectations for this book, especially with the name books bland name and me not being interested in any of legions involved- this book has made me truly care about the World Eaters.

I Love the World Eaters!!

Any other khornate brothers will love this book, but for those who aren't familiar with the lore or who are loyalist fanboys this one might not suit your fancy.

Best Book of the Horus Heresy Series, Bar None

Absolutely fantastic writing and performance. ADB and Keeble continue to show why they are the dominant duo in the Black Library collection.

A coming of age story....

The beginning of Kharn the Betrayer and the start of Angron's decent. Well written and the voice performance was excellent for each character.
