About this listen

A Primarchs novel

When a dread bio-weapon is unleashed in battle, turning allies upon one another, it falls to Corax and his Raven Guard to save the day - if he can balance his thirst for vengeance against the need for swift victory.

Read it because:

We've seen Corax consumed with revenge throughout the Horus Heresy - now is our opportunity to see him before his brush with Chaos, heroically saving a campaign during the Great Crusade.

The story:

During the Great Crusade, it falls to the primarch Corax of the Raven Guard to humble the immense void-cities of the Carinae. Determined to bring these worlds into compliance, he unleashes the might of his Legion and a massive war host of the Imperial Army. But the lords of Carinae are well defended and without remorse.

At the height of the conflict, at the void-city of Zenith, a dread bio-weapon from an ancient time is unleashed. At once, the Imperial force is brought to its knees, as allies are turned against each other and the Raven Guard left to face almost insurmountable odds. As the campaign teeters on the brink of failure, Corax’s desire for vengeance is severely tested against the need for a swift and certain resolution to the war.

Written by Guy Haley.

Like all Primarch novels it gave good insight into the mind of the Primarch in question.

However, one of the chapters (the chapter starting with an Imperial Gaurd officer addressing a large crowd of civilians) is one of the chapters in this series, maybe even the whole heresy, for me. I'll come back to this book for that chapter alone.

Has one of the best chapters in all of HH

Good to find out more about one of the few I knew little about! The different styles of each primarch is facinating

Great background and context

A Brilliant look into the mind of Corax before he turned against his father. It is also one of the saddest books I have listened too if not the the saddest ever. To listen and hear about such a Primarch and know of his eventual Doom ! I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I did, it has now become one of my favourites besides those of Rogal Dorn's and the Imperial Fists. The Emperor Protects. Regards .... Keswick.

A VERY GOOD LISTEN.

this was the first loyalist primarch book i have listened to and i love it.
The story fully tells who corax is and how he sees the universe and himself as a part of that universe and how he sees his sons as a part of him and that universe. the performance as always with Jonathan Keeble is amazing and living with that story.
all in all an amazing book for all warhammer fans to listen to and definetly one of my personal favourites.

Amazing!
