A Warhammer 40,000 Novel

Cypher has slipped his bonds on Holy Terra itself. Hunted by some of the most powerful forces the Imperium can muster, can he complete his mission before he’s apprehended?

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Cypher is one of the most mysterious figures in the galaxy, and this novel sheds light on his motivations and thoughts. Although, told from Cypher’s own point of view, his words are suspect by default...

THE STORY

As the Great Rift unfolds in the night sky above Terra and daemons walk upon the birth world of mankind, the Primarch Roboute Guilliman returns, heralding a dark new age.

During the breaking storm, Cypher and his band of Fallen escape from the most secure prison in the Imperium. Now loose in the Imperial Palace, they are hunted by warriors of the Dark Angels, forces of the Adeptus Custodes, and Imperial Assassins. But what are Cypher’s intentions? Can anything or anyone be trusted?

Told from Cypher’s own, unreliable point of view, this tale of truth, lies and secrets sees one of the Imperium’s most mysterious figures make war at its very heart. But what are the true motivations of the Lord of the Fallen?

A bit grimderpy

Enjoyed it overall but it played up the grimdark a bit too much to the point it's more grimderp than grimdark. Cypher's plots and dialogue seemed to try a little too hard at being convoluted and mysterious to the point that it took away from the story somewhat. But overall I enjoyed the book and the performance.

Still no idea what's going on

The "secrets within secrets" storyline is mind-numbing and answers no questions whatsoever - probably that was the whole idea.

The narration and voice acting are perfect. Thumbs up!

...it may be the case that a shard of the Emperor's entity seeks death and had instructed Cypher with this task long ago; or not the Emperor, or it is not the shard or not the same Cypher this time, or the sword is something else but not a sword, the list goes on😳 *scary whispering*

Answers everything and nothing

Amazing story. The mystery of Cypher holds my interest more than the missing legions. This story leaves you on the edge of your seat and pushes you to consider what secrets you want to know.

Do you want to know a secret?….

Great and well written truly a great tale that makes the reader understand the dark angel space marines personal division
