Story
Of all the Emperor’s sons who fell to Chaos, it is perhaps Magnus the Red whose tale is the most tragic. Sanctioned because of his desire for knowledge, chastised, judged, and shattered to his very elements – there is much for the Crimson King to feel vengeful for. Yet revenge is not the only thing that draws him to Terra alongside the Warmaster’s besieging armies. He seeks something, a fragment, the missing piece of himself that lies within the most impregnable place on the planet – the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace.

Each primarch is an exemplary being, derived from the Emperor’s own genetic stock to embody a facet of His personality. Their powers are unfathomable, but only one of them is the First. Lion El’Jonson is the paragon of what it is to be a primarch. His Legion, pre-eminent for most of their long history, typify the virtues of temperance, pride and martial excellency that the Lion embodies. They are the Emperor’s last line and final sanction. They are His Dark Angels.

Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

Exalting war and art in harmony, the warrior-artisans of the Angels Resplendent have forged a radiant haven amidst a blighted galaxy. But an ancient sin stains their honour – a wound in their world that will never heal. Ignorant souls would call it a forest, but those who watch over it know better. Nothing natural grows in the Reverie’s snow-swept glades or wanders amongst the unnatural things that do, save for the intruders who trespass on its pain. Some seek revelation or redemption, others dream of winning a place amongst the Resplendent, but all come because they must.

A big collection, some good and some bad.
This book is a bit of a sampler. There are several stories, some fairly long. The quality of the narration and of the stories varies fairly wildly.
Let me begin with the bad.
Void Crossed was a story I could not stand to listen to any longer. The narrator had such acute, uneducated, mispronunciations that I had to stop a few minutes in.
Duty Unto Death was SO monotonous that I stopped after the 2nd Tyranid wave. The narrator suffered from an inability to make any differentiation between normal conversation and moral battle. The story was bad enough that I just didn't care anymore.
Robert Rath's Ork story was excellent! I will buy more of his stiff.
The Crystal Cathedral was unexpectedly compelling.
Eisenhorn was a winner as usual.
Nexus, the title of the anthology and this particular story, was tedious, overly long, and seems to reflect the sort of generally depressive nonsense stories of Imperium vs Necrons common right now.
War in the Museum was a lot of fun!
On balance, the collection is worth it. There are a few stinkers in the set however, so be ready to skip a few.

meh not worth it. just buy an actual book
a collection of samples half of them are from low tier writers. the other half that have length passion and plot worth delving into one would be better served just buying the book. At least a third are from books I have already enjoyed. not worth it for me.

A great anthology
It is often a case of good story and mediocre story when it comes to short story collections I have all the BL short stories (sad I know) and have to say this was a really enjoyable listen, various narrators brought their inimitable style (John Banks, Andrew Wincott) and I completely immersed myself in the grim dark future

Worth listening to but not for the nexus
The main story in the audio book sadly feels like nothing but advertisement for the new range of necron/primaris models, with the exception of a side story about a serf.
However most of the other stories do not suffer from this with the standout being “war in the museum” a short story about trayzn the infinite set after the event of “the infinite and the divine” worth getting purely for this story with the rest being merely gravy.

Good stories
Pity about the narrative. Mono tome and it as though the story is being read to an infant. Lately I’ve not brought books from war hammer 40,000 because of the poor narrative. The stories are good but could of been awesome.
