About this listen

In the age of the Dark Imperium, Primarch Guilliman’s Primaris Ultramarines are a shining beacon in the darkness of war.

On the Imperial Hive World of Ikara IX, Chaplain Kastor and Apothecary Polixis, brothers in blood as well as in battle, stand firm against the endless Greenskin horde. But a threat is looming. An invasion like no other assaults the broken city of Shebat, as the crazed warlord Urgork arrives to lay waste to the Imperial forces and capture a Primaris Marine for his own twisted ends.

As Kastor and Polixis find themselves separated by the disaster that unfolds, the brothers must turn the tide of war to win the battles that rage within their very natures, as well as those upon the battlefield.

One hell of a book, john banks once again narrates perfectly, plenty of different voices all so suiting to their respective characters and as always he brings the feelings and the action to life.

The story itself is so good you get to hear of feelings from the space marines which make them more than just objects of war, you will burst out laughing at some of the antics from the orkz, almost cry from some of the adeptus scenes and also stand tall and proud (if you are a adeptus fanboy) from some of the scenes.

Plenty of action, back story and edge of the seat wanting more moments. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good listen and a old school (with new marines) bout between xenos scum and umiez

Amazing

Good story and great voice acting by John Banks. A solid 40K story giving more insight into Primaris abilities.

Solid 40K novel

Should of been about the Orks, the book shows the problem of them being way better protagonists than "Da Bekkies"

Would be better if the Orks had been protagonists

Great book if you want to read post-fallen Cadia as it follows that story but is a standalone book.

Excellent if you want a break from long arching stories and just want a short concise tale.

But can I just say that the performance by John Banks like always is absolutely stunning. He brings every character to life and I’m so glad he has narrated so many WH40K books.
He’s one of the best voice actors I’ve had the pleasure to listen to and I cannot sing this mans praises enough.

Excellent book and performance
