Summary
Within this book you will find Crusade, a fantastic new novella from Andy Clark....
Sons of the primarch Roboute Guilliman, the Primaris Ultramarines are peerless warriors whose sworn duty is to protect mankind from the predations of the xenos and the foul traitors of the Heretic Astartes. In a galaxy riven by eternal war, they and the other armies of the Imperium are all that stand between mankind and damnation. Their ship damaged by warp storms, the Ultramarines of strike force Cassian make for Kalides Prime. They hope to find safe harbour to repair their craft before rejoining the Indomitus Crusade. Instead, the Primaris Space Marines discover a world reduced to rot and ruin by the plague-ridden warriors of the Death Guard.
Also within this book is a host of awesome short stories to give you a flavour of the many warring armies that exist within the worlds of Warhammer 40,000.

Definitely not for newcomers
A great idea but a mixed bag. While the stories themselves are quite good they do not flow together easily and rather than get an idea of the shape of the 40k universe they simply repeat the kind of stories more prevalent in the literature. The first is essentially Helsreach in a more compact version while the last story is actually set in the Heresy era.
For any newcomer looking to understand the 40k universe Eisenhorn is the best way to begin. As a straight thriller it uses the background of the 40k universe to great effect rather than trying to get you to go along immediately with the flow.
This collection is better for long-time readers as an introduction to different authors and the wider range of literature beyond the Imperium-centred novels.

Throws you in at the deep end
It's not a good place to start with the whole 40k universe. Straight off the bat there is a lot of in universe specific language, which for the uninitiated will probably just be confusing. The stories are OK but nothing more than that.

recycled stand alone stories
this audiobook masquerades as the next book of watchers of the throne. but in reality there is only one story that contains the primaris space marines. it just recycles old short stories.

Great first listen
This was a great listen, a great Introduction to 40k lore, the narrator's did a bang up job making it easy to differentiate characters, well worth picking up.

A mix of excellent and average short stories
Overall the collection of short stories are great. There are the odd 2 or 3 which prove underwhelming however.
Purchase if your in the mood for a mixed bunch of stories encompassing a variety of races. If you want something a bit more engaging then go for a full novel.

Really great
Good if you understand a little of the 40k back story/fluff. Good however it is a bit random with the selection of the stories.

A mixed bag
The performances were all great I must say.
I enjoyed the main "Crusade" story, it was interesting to see DG's side of a fight.
Then the short stories do a good job to give an overarching perspective on many other factions, to varying degrees of enjoyment.
