Darkness in the Blood

Blood Angels: Warhammer 40,000

De: Guy Haley

Narrado por: Richard Reed

A Blood Angels novel.

Baal has been saved from the tyranids, yet the Blood Angels' greatest challenge awaits them. Reinforced by the new Primaris Space Marines, Commander Dante has been made warden of Imperium Nihilus. But to save the shattered Imperium, he and his brothers must first defeat the darkness within themselves.

Listen to it because: after the Devastation of Baal comes the next great test for the Blood Angels - rebuilding their broken empire, even as their broken souls threaten to overwhelm them.

The story: the galaxy is in flames. Chaos is in the ascendant across the stars. The Great Rift has split the holdings of the Imperium in twain, isolating entire sectors from the light of Holy Terra.

But all hope is not lost. The Primarch Roboute Guilliman has returned from deathless sleep and appointed Commander Dante, lord of the Blood Angels, as Regent and Warden of the newly dubbed Imperium Nihilus.

In the Baal system, the shattered holding of the Chapter is being rebuilt, and Dante plans the greatest campaign of his long life, to retake half an empire. And yet at this moment of rebirth there are dangers close to home that could overwhelm all those who carry the blood of Sanguinius in their veins, stopping Dante's noble endeavour before it has even begun.

The Flaw in Sanguinius’ sons is growing. As the twin curses of the Red Thirst and the Black Rage threaten everything, the hardest ordeal will fall upon Mephiston, twice-born Lord of Death and Chief Librarian of the Blood Angels. Among the mighty lords of Baal, perhaps only he can save them all, by mastering the darkness in the blood....

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by Richard Reed.

Good, but not great

Book 3 in Guy Haley’s blood angel series, following Dante and Devistation of Baal, is the weakest so far. It does advance the timeline for imperium nihilus a little and explains Mephiston’s crossing of the rubicon primaris. Plenty of action, and some interesting moments. Just feel is like filler before the next bigger more substantial book.

Best reading I’ve ever heard!

Great story with an amazing reader! Great introduction into blood angles lore! I would recommend for any fan of 40K

Better than reviews led on

What a good read. Read after Bal. Better than the reviews lead you to believe.

For the Blood

A great story with good narration. A must read after the Devastation of Baal. Great lore pertaining to the black rage, and more of humanity's greatest warrior, Dante.

I enjoy all Warhammer stories

Since 2004 in Iraq I have enjoyed reading Warhammer fantasy and 40k and this series on the blood angels has been satisfying.

Fantastic Blood Angels book!!

Another fantastic blood angels novel by guy Haley. If you enjoyed Dante, or devastation of Baal this is a must for you. Continues the plot of his previous novels and brings in great blood angels lore for fans of the chapter. For The Emperor

The accents!

The story is great. Can't argue that. But man, Richard Reed kills it as the narrator. The characters have personality in their voices!

kinda slow

good book but kinda slow not nearly as much action as you would expect from a 40k novel and it kind of dragged sometimes. still enjoyed it.

My two favorite Mary Sue’s to read about

Dante in Mephiston are basically the most powerful space marines. They cannot be stopped, and I’m totally here for it. I really enjoyed reading this.

There is some amazing lore about the black rage in this book. Not my favorite voice actor, but it was so good I didn’t care.

Brilliant

Just a great look inside of one of the blood angels, best characters, and the chapter in general. Superb writing.
