The Devastation of Baal

Space Marine Conquests: Warhammer 40,000, Book 1

De: Guy Haley

Narrado por: Gareth Armstrong

The Blood Angels Chapter of Space Marines is under threat. Having obliterated all human life in the Red Scar region of space, the largest tendril of Hivefleet Leviathan ever seen in the Imperium has converged and is making relentlessly for Baal.

To face this awesome foe, Commander Dante has called upon the Successor Chapters of the ancient Ninth Legion. The Sons of Sanguinius gather in numbers not seen since the dark days of the Horus Heresy. Thirty thousand Space Marines stand ready to thwart the Great Devourer, save the homeworld of their primarch, and prevent the consumption of billions in the Ultima Segmentum beyond.

But the tyranid swarm numbers in the trillions, and they are not the only danger to the chapter’s future. As the galaxy slides toward a terrifying new era, events far away threaten to unleash a greater evil. A further enemy must also be overcome, that of the Black Rage that lurks in the souls of all Sanguinius’ bloodline.

Great story, but Audible is missing Chapter 30.

I enjoyed it, but it was a real bummer when Audible didn't include Chapter 30. WTF?

I can't finish this, narrator disappoints

The story is good and I tried and tried but I can't listen to the narrator. He makes all the characters except Dante sound stupid. Space Marines should sound dignified and powerful, not like they're speaking through their noses or through their teeth. The worst characterization, IMO, up to where I listened, was Mephiston. Too high pitched. I was so disappointed.

Epic

An epic tale of the Blood angels chapters defense against the relentless swarm of tyranids. I’m a Black Templar fanboy. But this makes me want a combat patrol worth of BA’s with Dante. Lots of action, descriptions, details and lore. Worth the listen

Amazing is not enough

Fully enjoyed it, defiantly worth getting. If you are a blood angels fan, want to get more insight into lore, or even get more information on RG this is a must listen.

By The Blood!!

I have been on the fence of what SM army to start. Despite reading the gargantuan Horus Heresy series and many a BL book, I have yet to pull the trigger on anything but Kill Teams. This book was the White Feather that tipped the scales.. the story grips you throughout the entire thing. Excellent narration as always by Gareth.
Xenos, Chaos, Blood. What's not to love?
