Summary
Audiobook 1 of the Dark Imperium trilogy.
The first phase of the Indomitus Crusade is over, and the conquering primarch, Roboute Guilliman, sets his sights on home. The hordes of his traitorous brother, Mortarion, march on Ultramar, and only Guilliman can hope to thwart their schemes with his Primaris Space Marine armies.
Listen to It Because
Experience the beginning of the Plague Wars, as the Imperium's lord regent fights to reclaim his home from the Death Guard and their daemonic allies.
The Story
Fell times have come to the galaxy. Cadia has fallen, destroyed by the onslaught of Chaos. A Great Rift in the warp has opened, and from its depths spew daemons and the horrors of Old Night.
But all hope is not lost… A hero, long absent, has returned, and with him comes the wrath of the Ultramarines reborn. Roboute Guilliman has arisen to lead the Imperium out of darkness on a crusade the likes of which has not been seen since the fabled days of the Emperor.
But never before have the forces of Ruin amassed in such numbers, and nowhere is safe from despoliation. From the dreaded Scourge Stars come the hordes of the Plaguefather, Lord Nurgle, and their pustulent eye is fixed on Macragge. As the Indomitus Crusade rages on, Guilliman races to Ultramar and a confrontation with the Death Guard.
Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by John Banks.

Solid story, excellent delivery
Some parts of the book were really great, especially those concerning Guilliman and his trying to comprehend the new Imperium he’s found himself into. Also, some really good battle scenes although they could be shorter and more to the point. Very good book overall.

Great
The story gave a deeper insight into the mind of Guiliman, the narrator performed amazingly, although his sounding of the demon primarchs sounded a bit cartoonish.

Epic start
Wasn’t sure what to expect here but was keen to see where the current plot was heading for 40K and being a avid fan of the death guard this book kept giving. Great plot and insight into to the primarch having been resurrected into a very different imperium. Great book a must listen for 40K true fans

Emperors Teeth
Wow this was an intense and amazing story of how the Emperor’s ruling loyal son moves to avenge his father’s death and punish his brother’s betrayal the whole book is amazing I can’t wait to start the next one and hopefully see Mortarion get beat by the emperor’s blade

A combination of moments of excellent writing, compelling characters and a great performance make this an extremely enjoyable first start for a trilogy. The only issues being some possibly unresolved character arcs and perhaps a slightly muted ending, which both could well be chalked up to this being the first book in said trilogy, but the good news is I'm exited to find out!

Worth it!
This book was a lot better than I was lead to believe. It has a ton of gore and and horror in equal measure, very grim dark.
the story was well crafted and the characters great with standouts being Guilliman & Felix.
I was also very surprised with the way Calgar thought.
the vocal performance was also very well done.
with all the characters sounding unique enough to not take you out of it. John Banks is great at doing the Death Guard. I'm looking forward to parts 2 & 3.
This is the 2nd Guy Haley novel I've read (not counting shorts) and quite possibly may be my favourite.
