With the noble Emperor Sanguinius ruling from Macragge, Imperium Secundus stands as a lone beacon of hope even as the Warmaster's forces continue to ravage the rest of the galaxy.

Roboute Guilliman, still Master of Ultramar, has convinced his brother that Terra has fallen and that the mysterious Mount Pharos on Sotha now holds the key to mankind's future. But the Night Lords, those cruel and pitiless sons of Konrad Curze, have been watching from the shadows and make ready to launch their long-planned attack on the Pharos itself....

Really Enjoyed

I really enjoyed this book. I may even model a Scythes of the Emperor army to defend Sotha

The History of the Pharos

Great book about the Horus Heresy, but scan better if you go on to read/listen to the Belisaurius Cawl book.

A great example of well written evil characters

The story is great, and the stakes feel very real for the war at-large. As always, the Night Lords continue to a have extremely well written characters who are objectively evil, selfish, yet somehow understandable in their motives. Definitely worth a listen.

great listen

So this was the signal? those lines at the end were delivered so perfectly. bonechilling

Good book. important part of the series, Not critical

Good book, fills in events after several other heresy novels. Fairly important events to series and universe.

The performance was superb

The performance for this book was superb, especially with the Night Haunter. I highly recommend it.

Excellent story. Gives more insight to the Nightlords

there are so many great characters in this book. Loved seeing Dantioch and Polux. Very cool to get another glimpse of life for neophytes and see them in that transition phase before they're full space marines.

The mortals did an amazing job considering what they were up against. This was a very cool book and it did a good job diving into some topics we haven't seen as much before.

The way events wrap up is a bit of a gut punch but worth it for the story.

oy ye gets. it be good hearing of some squishy huummies. sticking up for demselves.

maybes wes will gets to some fightens and smashens in da futur

The narrator grew on me

Initially I did not like the narrator as I thought his voices/accents were strange, however as the cast of the story expanded to include many different legions, as well as humans, neophytes, and full space marines - the variety of his accents became one of the best things about the story. The novel itself tells an interesting story that seemingly has a huge bearing on the universe of 30k and 40k. Overall, this is one of the best stories in the Heresy that I've come across.

Best in the last 15/20 books

I enjoyed this. Got my hyped on the series which had been slogging. The voice acting was great, and the story was griping
