Publisher's summary

A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook

Across the warp storms of the Great Rift, a distress beacon calls for aid. The Rock is listening, for the Dark Angels have only their oaths to remind them of who they are.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

See what happens when the Dark Angels encounter a planet that might have even more secrets than they do! Can Master Lazarus cope with discovering what it really means to be defined by your oaths?

THE STORY

Supreme Grand Master Azrael summons Lazarus and his Fifth Company to honour an old debt on the Knight world of Reis – a planet upon which the warp has set its hungry gaze.

But Lazarus is not so sure Reis wants to be saved – its Knights are long lost, its governance is dogged by political strife, and internecine conflict hampers the world’s defence against an ancient evil. ­An evil which, like Lazarus himself, refuses to die.

The story met standards but the reader has limited range

So the story is decent. The writing didn’t win me over but the broader story was good. A twist followed by a new foe for the series which won’t turn the Black Library on its head but its fresh and I respect that.

John Banks has a limited range and I don’t think he used the full of even his limited set on this book. What he brings is decent it’s worth the three stars but it really could have been better for differentiating characters.

Fantastic

This is an insight into the dark angels that has been missing for a long time. There’s also an insight into the Knights that has never been seen before that made me love them more than I already do. Truly a fantastic story.

A standout story

I have gone through a lot of 40K books and many stories sort of regress to the mean. This one stands out. The characters seemed to have a little more pop and the story itself was fun and engaging. The Dark Angels are better when they aren’t so inwardly focused. This was a fun story! Worth your credit.

The Chaplin’s method

Some of the battles are hard to contextualize. Story was pretty good and it’s nice to see the dark angels displayed this way.

Amazing higjly recommended

Just wow, from the start to the end it was amazing. The story kept me hooked, and I never felt bored or wanting to skip forward, this was really enjoyable book, that added a lot of lore for the dark angles, and the ending OMG sent me chill through my whole body, amazing ending with an amazing character with depth and struggle and moment that made a tear come to my eye,

Simple and Enjoyable

It is a good action story. The story felt it dragged in places, particularly the final battle. The combat was well written, but there was a lot of it. All the characters were likable and it was narrated well. The book was at its best with the character interactions.

Great to get a better look into Lazarus

Great narrator. Story was short, but very engaging. For the First! For The Lion! For The Emperor!

Excellent addition to the Dark Angel story

An interesting story that hooks you in early and keeps you hooked to the VERY last line. Great narration as always from Brooks

A grounded space marine story. Good story with interesting characters

The story was engaging and more grounded. It’s not like some of the other space marine story’s that seem very sterile and we went here we did xyz and everyone clapped and no civilians are ever mentioned. You really get to experience the world though story telling. Even when there is exposition it’s integrated into the characters experience. Overall I really enjoyed this story because it is relatable and has personal connection between normal people and SM’s.

For The Lion

Really good and fun Dark angels story. Worth a listen if you are a fan of the first!
