Summary

A Primarchs Anthology

Explore the histories and motivations of the primarchs across six short stories that will take you to the depths of the Cthonian Utterdark, the wilds of Fenris in winter, and even to the holy soil of Terra itself.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Get new insights into several of the primarchs in tales set across the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.

DESCRIPTION

A weak Cthonian boy forges a bloody destiny among the stars. Tribal warriors hunt a beast in the Fenrisian snows. Prosperine sorcerers seek hidden secrets. The Emperor's Praetorian shows his ruthless side. Alpharius submits to questioning over a brutal campaign, and Mortarion returns to Terra for the first time since his ascension to daemonhood.

Each of these six tales provides you with a new look at one of the primarchs, the demigod sons of the Emperor. Once brothers-in-arms, these legendary heroes fell into war and strife, loyalist and traitor. But each remains a mighty lord of warriors and leader of men, and each has tales to tell…

Great stories, definitely worthy of the rest of the parmarch series.

The highlight for this one is the performance by Christopher, who does a brilliant job of giving characterisation to each character from the gutter fighters all the way through.

Hopefully, we're have more Black Library novels narrated by him

I’m a fan of Christopher Tester voice work from various social media especially his Warhammer 40k videos, so when he announced he had recorded for the Black Library I rushed to download it and it did not disappoint.

Great performance, great stories.
