De: Guy Haley

Narrado por: John Banks

Audiobook 3 of the Dark Imperium trilogy.

The destinies of primarch and Imperial Regent Roboute Guilliman and his traitorous brother Mortarion come together for the climactic battle of the Plague Wars.

Listen to It Because

It's the throwdown you've been waiting for, as Guilliman and Mortarion work out 10,000 years of pent-up resentment in a clash for the ages.

The Story

The paths of Roboute Guilliman and his fallen brother Mortarion bring them inexorably together on Iax. Once a jewel of the Imperium, the garden world is dying as the plans of the Lord of Death to use it as a fulcrum to drag the stellar realm of Ultramar into the warp come to deadly fruition.

While Guilliman attempts to prevent the destruction of his kingdom, Mortarion schemes to bring his brother low with the Godblight, a disease created in the Cauldron of Nurgle itself, made with the power to destroy a son of the Emperor.

Primarchs clash on the ravaged landscapes of Iax. The gods go to war and the wider galaxy balances on a knife-edge of destruction. As something powerful stirs in the sea of souls, only one thing is certain – no matter who wins the last great clash of the Plague War, the repercussions of victory will echo through eternity....

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by John Banks.

Another great Guy Haley book for Dark Imperium

Being underrated is usually a function of somebody having no sort of acclaim. In Guy Haley's case, he has acclaim, just not nearly as much as he merits.

This is the 3rd book of this particular trilogy, focusing on the return of the primarch Roboute Guilliman. Unlike most series conclusions, it is a solid capstone with consistent character development, seeds planted for future books, and culminating in a worthy climax that was built over multiple books.

There are 3 general story arcs: Guilliman on Iax, Fabian on Macragge, and the Nurgle perspective.

Haley usually treats characters as rational, realistic, relatable people, not shallow or venir. This sets him apart from writers like ADB.

John Banks has only polished his excellent work as the reader, no problems to be found with him.

Fascinating turn of events

Really enjoyed this book, and the twists and turns in it, which has deviated from Imperial Dogma for the past 10,000 years. I am looking forward to what comes next! The voice acting and overall performance was superb.

A very satisfactory finale

A great final. with many threads brought to a close and a few new ones begun. As always The Narrator did a top notch job.

What a great decaying mess!

Great way to wrap up plague wars and now the Imperium strikes back. The story will leave you smiling and in a state of foolish optimism because in the far future…

Really great book

Don’t get me wrong guy Hayley is definitely no Stephen King but he is my second favorite author his ability to craft a world is beautiful. And the way he uses multiple characters to come together to build the story is awesome.

fantastic ending to a great trilogy

Ku'gath stole the show! my favorite character and Haley makes the plague guard so endearing!

Great book

excellent balance of character building and action. the ending leaves open some big changes to the lore. very exciting!

Awesome

I found this book very amazing, i just wish that lord sanguinius could and would come back!

Good story and well written

I just finished the 3 books. For what it’s worth I truly enjoyed it. From the jolly miserable plague demons to RG struggling with his fathers possible divinity. To the simple faith of imperial guardsman the story was worth the listen. The authors true skill is putting humanity into his characters. They can be related to. Even the villains.

story

really good trilogy that shows the progression of robutes ultra depression and shows us that fun prespective of the forces of nurgle
