Publisher's summary

As the Emperor marshals his armies to reclaim the galaxy for the glory of mankind, one by one his Space Marine Legions are reunited with their missing primarchs. The XVIII Legion are still waiting to find their true identity, unaware their own lord has been found. In the Taras Division, legionaries face annihilation as they take a last, desperate stand against a monstrous ork invasion.

Meanwhile, on Nocturne, Vulkan has raised and trained a new force of warriors. Now it is the time for him to lead his sons into battle. Now it is the time for him to truly don the mantle of primarch, not only to save one half of his Legion but to forge a new, indivisible whole.

Good book with great narration!

Jonathan Keeble does this book a wonder by narrating voices with different accents, he presents each character with depth and feeling as if we were in the story ourselves.

The story itself seems a tad bit lacking in background and depth, but for its length is a great feature packed with action to add more flavor to the deserving salamanders legion.

Into the fires of battle...

Great performance with a solid story. Any 40k fan will now turn into a Salamander fan as well.

Love the Salamanders

I love the Salamanders, I love how GW has made such a lovable contradiction like the XVIII legion, horrifying to the average citizen until you see them laying their lives on the line to keep you safe. This... origin story, for want of a better term, was everything I expected it to be.

A Love Letter To Vulkan

I've never been a huge Salamanders fan personally. But always loved their humanity and determination! This just kept that train going. Loved it.

Great, but overly direct.

I loved the book as I love Vulkan and the 18th, it just reiterates the same points a lot.

The feelings and narration

I love anything with the salamanders in it and this book is no exception. Every chapter will let you know how much Vulkan is an anchor for the whole legion and the power of a single primarch to turn around a fight

VULKAN LIVES

One of the best standalone Primarch books I have listened to, even if you’re not a son of Vulkan this book is great. My only complaint is that it wasn’t longer.
