THE STORY

The Alpha Legion are devious beyond measure, but deceit is a double-edged sword. As the Indomitus Crusade pushes into the far reaches of the Ultima Segmentum, the warband known as the Serpent's Teeth encounter the fearsome Primaris Marines, and the Alpha Legion is faced with a choice – fade into the shadows, or adapt and strike back.

Solomon Akurra, leader of the Teeth, intends to claim the title of Harrowmaster and bind together the feuding heads of the hydra that make up his Legion. His allies are disparate and unproven, and his enemies march with the might of the Imperium at their back. Much is not as it seems, and the odds are stacked against the sons of Alpharius… but Solomon is armed with a weapon the Imperium cannot ignore – the truth.

Written by Mike Brooks. Read by Theo Solomon. Running time is 11 hours and 49 minutes (approx).

Hydra Dominatus! For the Serpent!

While some of the voices of the marines took me by surprise I loved the book anyways, and the fact that it is a book of my favorite traitor legion takes supremacy. I am no prophet, but I believe that this book may one day become a must read for fellow operatives of the Ghost Legion.

Great book all around!

The Reader was just awesome. the story was beyond cool the interplay between the Alpha legionnare and the psyker made the book for me.

Horrible narrator

Could not finish, man how I wanted to like this book so much, three times I started it determined to make peace with the narrator's completely one-note cockney approach to this book.

Awesome Story but overall Poor narration

Another wonderful Alpha Legion story, would not put it as high as Head of the Hydra nor Legion but overall 8/10. Theo Solomon narration is sadly a big underperfomance with an overall lack of heft and at times very odd emotions. Still worth a listen to for sure!

great book, bad narrator

love the contents of the story, but the narrator drives me nuts. It's the same guy who read Leviathan

I am alpharius

The narrator is actually growing g on me. He gives xhatacter to tge persons in this and previous listens too. thevstoru was fun exciting and greatly enjoyed joyable. well written lore.

The Legion is back baby!

Love Solomon as the new “main character” for the Alpha Legion in 40k, especially with Tilava as his sidekick. Really does the Alpha Legion justice for how they are in the 41st Millennium. Highly recommended if you love the 20th or Chaos Marines with less Chaos, and more Marine.

Hydra Dominatus

An excellent and much-needed modern look into the Alpha Legion and how it operates. It’s an interesting story that introduces equally interesting new characters that I hope will become reoccurring ones for years to come. The author managed to turn the ever divided and scheming alpha legion into a considerable cohesive threat again for the first time in ten millennia. Making them a relevant faction once again.

I eagerly await the sequel.

great book, wrong narrator

so the book is amazing. definitely read it or listen to it. the narrator for this version wasn't the right person. he's a good narrator, for young adult dramas. his space marine dialogue was too silly. space marines shouldn't sound like panicked teenagers. again the book is 10/10 I just think they got the wrong narrator for the job

Good Alpha Legion 40k tale.

Good story, Mike Brooke's delivers again. The story has sufficient twists and turns, I would have prefered it be a bit more heavy on the Alpha Legion covert operator nature that such a front line assault. The real issue I had was the performance, the voices were too acented in a way that didn't seem Alpha Legion and the actor read many character interactions in ways the author clearly didn't intent them to be so it made it hard to get through the telling.
