Story
As the Emperor travels the galaxy at the head of his Great Crusade, few events are as important as rediscovering his scattered sons, the Primarchs, and bestowing them as the masters of their Legions. United, a Legion becomes a reflection of its Primarch, both in his strengths and his flaws. For the Twelfth Legion, once the War Hounds and now the World Eaters, the line between strength and flaw is almost impossible to separate.

Story
After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Kept alive and imprisoned for 10 thousand years, Luther is the curse and the salvation of the Dark Angels made manifest. None are so close to the heart and history of the Chapter as the man that embodies all that was great about the First Legion and all that is shameful about the Dark Angels. In his story is writ the tale of the Horus Heresy and the fall from Enlightenment in a single long life. Glory, honour, pride, shame and betrayal weave a tapestry of truth and lies that the Supreme Grand Masters of the Dark Angels have sought to understand and unbind across 10 bloody millennia.

Of all the Emperor’s sons who fell to Chaos, it is perhaps Magnus the Red whose tale is the most tragic. Sanctioned because of his desire for knowledge, chastised, judged, and shattered to his very elements – there is much for the Crimson King to feel vengeful for. Yet revenge is not the only thing that draws him to Terra alongside the Warmaster’s besieging armies. He seeks something, a fragment, the missing piece of himself that lies within the most impregnable place on the planet – the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace.

Summary
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.

Good addition to the lore of the Raven Guard
I would definitely recommend this book if your a fan of the Raven Guard, as I feel like it does justice to their legion unlike some of the Horus heresy novels, *cough cough* the corax anthology. I also feel it gives a good insight into the legions troubles and the introspective nature of their primarch, foreshadowing the legions eventual fate. Keeble's performance is as always great as well, helping to Bruce the characters to life However that being said the book didn't grab in the same way some of the HH books have. Overall, a solid book but not best in the HH and primarch series.

Mid tier in the Primarchs series
I most enjoyed the Primarchs books that she'd light on the lives of the primarchs before they met the Emperor, like Lorgar's and Perturabo's books. This book is set during the Great Crusade, but was still enjoyable and reveals new things about the Raven Guard and Corax.
I would rate this mid tier in the series, not a must read unless you really like the Ravem Guard, but still a good listen.

Not bad!
A couple of short, exciting stories about the role of the title character and his Legion in the Great Crusade. Ethical and idealistic with a self- aware undertone of darkness, the Legion feel conflicted about their nature and about the morality of their cause even in the relatively bright 31st millennium. Quick to denounce 'tyranny', they are nevertheless authoritarians.
Keen to minimise unnecessary suffering, keep faith with his fellows, deliver retribution, build the ideal society, efficiently extend the Emperor's domain, and simply do whatever he is told, the Primarch is not personally consistent in prioritising these intentions. That seemed to be the message, as he makes a series of difficult moral choices throughout the story.
This was a nice distracting short story.

Has one of the best chapters in all of HH
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.

Do author's listen or read other authors work?
Good story and the bio weapon gave a great twist which forces Corax into hard decisions. The only real nitpick I have is the Therion Prefector's name as Raven's Flight by Gav Thorpe gives a different character so I was expecting a continuation of that character not a new Prefector

Bit of a let down
Has a sub plot that detracts from the main mission Corax undertakes, and has little to do with the book. I thought it lacked quite a bit of attention to the protagonist Corax, and only spends one chapter in the entire book with him in action. Even then he only showcases his abilities against nobody guards. I think it speaks volumes that for most of this book you could replace the name Corax with a random Admiral/General name and there would only be a few places in the book that it wouldn't work. For a book that is supposed to be centered on and expand a Primarchs story/character, this was a big disappointment.
