Publisher's summary

The Blood Angels Chapter of Space Marines is under threat. Having obliterated all human life in the Red Scar region of space, the largest tendril of Hivefleet Leviathan ever seen in the Imperium has converged and is making relentlessly for Baal.

To face this awesome foe, Commander Dante has called upon the Successor Chapters of the ancient Ninth Legion. The Sons of Sanguinius gather in numbers not seen since the dark days of the Horus Heresy. Thirty thousand Space Marines stand ready to thwart the Great Devourer, save the homeworld of their primarch, and prevent the consumption of billions in the Ultima Segmentum beyond.

But the tyranid swarm numbers in the trillions, and they are not the only danger to the chapter’s future. As the galaxy slides toward a terrifying new era, events far away threaten to unleash a greater evil. A further enemy must also be overcome, that of the Black Rage that lurks in the souls of all Sanguinius’ bloodline.

Great story, but Audible is missing Chapter 30.

I enjoyed it, but it was a real bummer when Audible didn't include Chapter 30. WTF?

Great book.

Loved this book. Guy Haley did a great job writing this. the Blood Angels are a ton of fun to read about. The Tyranids in this book are the best iteration of Tyranids out of all of the audiobooks I've listened to so far. They're great and feel of so very alien and scary.

Will read again.

A must for any son of Sanguinius

Are you a Blood Angels fan, or even curious who those red-or worse Death Company- guys are cleaning up the tables at your local game shop? this is the book for you pivotal for any BA fan with the 8th edition. CAN be read before or stand alone from Dark Imperium, but you'd do well to read Dante First. Both are great books to help you understand the Warhammer universe. this is the most expansive I know of any franchise. Be warned...you'll be stepping into am ocean from which scifi will never look the same. Let the Emperor and the Great Angel be your guide for it's a journey into a universe no other vision humanity has yet to match the scale of.

Amazing is not enough

Fully enjoyed it, defiantly worth getting. If you are a blood angels fan, want to get more insight into lore, or even get more information on RG this is a must listen.

Excellent listen!

As a long time Warhammer 40,000 fan I found this book to be excellent. The narrator was entertaining to listen to, and the storyline facinating. 10/10 would recommend

Another Great editon to the black Library

Another example of why the black library and their audio books continue to keep me interested in the 40k universe.

An Engaging Narrative, Adequate Performance

Excellent view across the Chapters of the Blood, and the intersection of Xenos & Chaos.

The Angels Redemption

The way of the galaxy is death but the Blood Angels are the harbingers of Doom. Great story to listen and experience. Worth every penny to listen to.
