Resumen del Editor

Book 2 in the Watchers of the Throne series

A new day has dawned for the Imperium, but not everyone sees the light. The Custodian Guard and Sisters of Silence must battle not just Chaos, but those who do not share Regent Guilliman's vision....

Listen to it because:

See how enemies lurk everywhere in the Imperium - even on Terra itself - and discover how the Adeptus Custodes excel at rooting out the darkness that lurks on the Throneworld and bringing it to light.

The story:

As Guilliman, Regent of Terra, heads off to lead the Indomitus Crusade, he leaves behind a world still in turmoil, beset by cult activity. Stripped of its huge armies for the galactic offensive, recovery is precarious. The Custodians do what they can while keeping the Palace secure, and the Sisters of Silence rebuild their citadel on Luna. When the warship Phalanx returns, it seems that stability will at last be assured. However, as reconquest forces push out further into the slums, they come across signs that another mysterious foe is active. The truth dawns - not every enemy is corrupted by Chaos, for there are many on Terra who do not share Guilliman’s vision of a new order, and the prospect of a Terran civil war looms...

One of the best ones

Does a great job describing space marines and custodians from the standpoint of "baseline humans". After this I feel like I understand custodians a lot better too

Amazing series!

I must say that this series of novels are the best 40k fiction I have listened to so far. I really hope to see it continue in the future.

great!

out of my 5 books of warhammer I own this is my favorite. 10 of 10

Good story good narration

The three narrators were a fantastic touch. The only thing that would have upped it is if in one chapter the narrator for another character just spoke for the character, thinking Verian and Jeck

Great addition to the 40k setting

excellent book with typically excellent performances. As always with Wraight, the world and characters are beautifully drawn, pulling you into a story while also enriching the setting as a whole. well worth a listen to any 40k fans.

Amazing and Immersive

Chris Wraight knows to bring characters to life.. I love his writing from a first-person view and even the actors that were chosen to narrate part 1 and 2. Probably my favorite series in the warhammer 40k universe books. I wish there were a part 3 on its way but.. oh well.

A Solid Sequel

Binged it just as I did the first book, could barely put it down. It does get a bit slow in some parts, but by the time I felt that way the pacing kicked back into gear everytime. Absolutely love Valerion and Alayah as a duo, and Jeck grew on me with every one of her chapters. Really hope there will be at least one more book in this series.

Perfect follow-up story

This book covers every single base; action packed, politically tense, and the plot twists are exquisite. Would recommend for anyone that like Custodes or Sisters of Silence.

deep

a challenging story, picking up from book 1 which is a must to follow this story. but then this novel breaks from the norm of BL and then enters a series of twists and weaves.

over all great, can't wait to see where the story goes

a great time

this was fun it slowly creeped through the plot like a rollercoaster going up that first hill just as it got to the top everything changed and it was awesome.
