Story
For 10,000 years, Cadia stood as a bastion against the daemonic tide spewing forth from the Eye of Terror. But now the Fortress World lies in ruins, its armies decimated in the wake of Abaddon the Despoiler and his Thirteenth Black Crusade. Those who survived, though haunted by the loss of their beloved homeworld, remain bloodied and unbarred, fighting ruthlessly in the Emperor’s name. Amongst them is the indomitable Sergeant Minka Lesk.

Fell times have come to the galaxy. Cadia has fallen, destroyed by the onslaught of Chaos. A Great Rift in the warp has opened, and from its depths spew daemons and the horrors of Old Night. But all hope is not lost… A hero, long absent, has returned, and with him comes the wrath of the Ultramarines reborn. Roboute Guilliman has arisen to lead the Imperium out of darkness on a crusade the likes of which has not been seen since the fabled days of the Emperor. But never before have the forces of Ruin amassed in such numbers, and nowhere is safe from despoliation.

The Imperial Guard are the backbone of the Imperium’s military strength. While the Space Marines get all the glory, it’s the guard that holds back the tide of threats that would soon drown the Imperium by sheer weight of numbers. These audio dramas bring you into their tanks, platoons and trenches to see how ordinary men and women face the horrors of the 41st Millennium.

Publisher's Summary
An Astra Militarum novel.
The storm has broken, and the forces of Chaos batter against Cadia's defences. Lord Castellan Creed leads the defence of the fortress world, but for how much longer can they hold out. Cadia stands...but will it stand forever?
Listen to It Because:
Justin D Hill follows up his Ursarkar Creed short stories in Legends of the Dark Millennium: Astra Militarum with the tale of the hero's finest - and darkest - hour.
The story:
Under almost constant besiegement by the hosts pouring from the Eye of Terror, Cadia acts as a bulwark against tyranny and death. Its fortresses and armies have held back the hordes of Chaos for centuries, but that grim defiance is about to reach its end.
As Abaddon's Thirteenth Black Crusade batters Cadia's defences, and armies of the Imperium flock to reinforce this crucial world, a terrible ritual long in the making comes to fruition and the delicate balance of this brutal war shifts.
From the darkness, a hero rises to lead the beleaguered defenders, Lord Castellan Ursarkar Creed, but even with the armoured might of the Astra Militarum and the strength of the Adeptus Astartes, will it be enough to avert disaster and prevent the fall of Cadia? While Creed lives, there is hope. While there is breath in the body of a single defender, Cadia stands...but for how much longer?
Written by Justin D Hill. Running time 7hrs 39mins. Narrated by David Seddon.

The Many (Short) Lives of the Cadian Shock Troops
Presented as a series of vignettes, this tells the story of the Fall of Cadia from the perspective of a range of characters - new and old, high and low. If you are asking "what's the Fall of Cadia?", well, this might not be for you...
Consider this a narrative, ground level view of the narrative changes Games Workshop made to the 40k universe in 2017, with the last supplements to 7th edition and the beginning of 8th edition. If you are interested in the story of the 40k universe, this sort of bridges that gap.
But if you just like stories of chainswords and hordes of cultists and the smell of prometheum in the morning, this book is just dozens of individual and connected combat vignettes, from the perspective of Cadians, Mordians, Drookians, Chaos Marines, a very angry Space Wolf scout, and more. A diverting and excellently narrated book, perfect for when you are gluing and painting. If you aren't high on liquid cement and periodically yelling "Cadia Stands", you probably won't enjoy this...

Dissapointing
A disjointed mess that fails to keep track of it's characters. It attempts to follow the dog soldiers of Cadia during it's fall but fails to really make you care about any of them save, maybe, Gruber (Kruber?). Forgets the names of ships or even what weapons characters have in hand every other paragraph.

I did not enjoy this book!
I am a huge 40k fan and LOVE the guard. I play cadians and love books like Gaunt's Ghosts but this book was not for me.
I was looking forward to reading about the epic fall of Cadia. Instead I got forgettable charkters thrown into a myriad of "battles" that felt more like skirmishes and then often never seen again. Here and there a named Charkter would turn up for a page to be checked off the list. It was both boring and frustraiting, like i missed the fight and just saw the aftermath.
Allso Cadians are some of the best guard ever but felt rather avrage here. Its frustrating because there are the ingredients of a great storry here but in the end i didnt get invested when there was no main story just overwealming destruction that you often don't even get to see. skip this one.
addition-
This book made me so mad I had to go back and edit this post to add a few lines. this book is not only grabage, it's wrong. Pask turns up in his baneblade. Pask wasn't on Cadia when it fell and he drives a Leemam Russ.
It takes work to make me so mad that I come back to write more. nope skip this

Worth it
I enjoyed it but it leaves a lot of loose ends. The story jumps around a lot, like after you get to kind of know a character it either doesn't get back to them or you learn very little more of them/what happened to them. I get that it's supposed to be chaotic, but that doesn't make the most compelling story. I wish it had given more time to really exploring a few characters. Without giving too much away here, because it was worth it.

A book almost entirely in exposition
I love gonzo fiction. Which is why I have a soft spot for Black Library books. What brings the military kitchen sink that is the Warhammer 40K setting to life is the wonderful characters the authors breath life into. The loyal guards from Gaunt's Ghosts, the manic evil of Fabius Bile, the otherworldly Mechanicus of the Tech Priest series, and so on.
So I struggled with this book, which largely ignores the characters in favor for reporting the battle from a dispassionate, almost textbook-like manner. In one chapter, we read about a character about to enter battle, and get excited to hear her experiences, only to jump ahead with a report on how the battle went. I felt continually lifted out of the world. What a lost opportunity to thrust the reader into the world through a hero.
That said, the writing is clean and the plot (of the war, not the characters) solid and as believable as you can get in the 40K setting. I just wanted to have more focus on characters and their lives within this terrible event.

Almost fan fiction
the writing is at the level of fan fiction, constantly repeating the same metaphor almost word for word over and over again, changing the setting description on a whim, describing things that happen one after another in the exact same way. it's a painful book which is a shame as the voice actor has great range and I could see him doing well with a decently written story.

Very good listen
Great book overall, had to re listen to some chapters as you can get a little lost in places, but other than that, very good
