A Horus Heresy Audiobook

Lord Commander Primus Eidolon has claimed many titles along the annals of his infamy. He is the Exemplar and the Risen, the Soul-Severed, and the Auric Hammer. Now, fallen far from his primarch’s grace, he carves a path to Terra, where the culmination of Horus’ grand heresy awaits.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Eidolon has been a key figure of the Emperor's Children Legion from the beginning. Now, on the eve of the Siege of Terra, he’s fallen far from grace and is facing a long overdue reckoning for his many misdeeds during the Horus Heresy. Can he come to terms with his tainted legacy?

THE STORY

Coaxed and goaded by the wiles of the warp – and an entity whose whispered truths stretch even his credulity – Eidolon finds himself stranded around the world of Tatricala, where the ghosts of his past haunt every fated step. Now he must choose which life he wants to lead… and how much of his soul he is willing to sacrifice for it.

If Eidolon cannot banish his daemons, then they will surely take him for their own.

The third legion given character

Standard heresy story, but a good view into the mind of a character that has been a part of the lore for a long time. Eidolon stands out as the only true “leader” in the emperor’s children rather than being just an eccentric with followers like Fabius.

Daddy Issues the Book

Always love seeing more of one of my favorite Legions, we get to see what the invading armies of the 3rd were dealing with as they began their assault upon the Imperium. Internal politics are thick amongst the Emperor's Children and no one feels it quite as much as Commander Eidolon. Demons are prevalent, spewing their tempting offers from Slaanesh, so much so that it has affected the Commander's mind. Eidolon is not a character that you will root for, the man is defiantly a dick, but all of this comes from his previous issues with Fulgrim. You might initially think this is a justified and interesting part of his character...but this leads to nowhere. Eidolon is the same at the beginning as he is at the end, and not even an attempt at reconciliation with Daddy Fulgrim will change that. Final Chapter is by far the best part, just not sure if going through the book was worth it to get here.

Shows Emperors Children at the beginning of their fall to Slaanesh

Very good story of Emperors Children. Still held together but already starting to fray. Like the progression from beginning to end.

Good and good and good Good and good and good Good and good and good Good and good and good but most importantly a beautifully good
