An Alpha Legion Audiobook

On a world that is home to a unique artefact, bands of Chaos Space Marines battle for the right to claim it. But the arrival of the infamous Khârn the Betrayer changes the balance of power…

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The forces of Chaos fight amongst themselves, with the Blood God's chosen warrior slap bang in the middle. It’s probably not going to end well for anyone whose name isn't Khârn…

THE STORY

Upon the oceanic hive world of Tsadrekha, the darkness of the Noctis Aeterna is held at bay by the golden light of a unique beacon. Yet, as sharks are drawn to blood, so the ravening warbands of the Heretic Astartes circle the planet, warring to claim this rich prize for their Dark Gods. Now, one of those warlords has deployed a secret weapon to end the deadlock.

Kassar and his elite band of Alpha Legionaries, the Unsung, must infiltrate the planet, using all their cunning and warrior skills to overcome the planet's defenders and corrupt the beacon. They need to work fast, for none other than Khârn the Betrayer himself has come to lead the final assault. As a rising tide of apocalyptic warfare consumes Tsadrekha, Kassar and his brothers must race for the prize or be consumed by the fury of the storm.

The book does a good job exploring the post heresy Alpha Legion and how they work. It also has a few POV’s of the different factions of the imperium and it was fun seeing them interact. The narrator did a great job keeping a consistent voice and intonation for all of the characters, to the point I could recognise them more by their voices than by their names.

A good look at post heresy Alpha legion

the book in an of itself is ok some enjoyable parts but the voice actor is absolutely shocking every book he as read he does this stupid breathless voice with an infection at the end making everything sound like a question, I forced myself through this one but the others I turned off halfway through, black library/gw please stop using this guy he's unbearable.

this narrator is absolutely horrendous.

This book was originally released way back in 2017, how on earth has it not gotten a sequel yet? Quite possibly my favourite 40k novel.

I am Alpharius.

Been a while since a new book from black library gripped me from start to end. Think I chewed through this in under three days much to my co workers annoyance 😂😂.

Worth a listen. Not perfect but by far not bad.

The Alpha legion was well used in this. Not too overly silly when it comes to them.

A good book all in all.
