About this listen

From out of the shadows of the Silent War, a hero emerges. Clad all in grey, an errant warrior of the Legiones Astartes kneels before the Regent of Terra, and accepts a solemn new duty - Battle-Captain Garro, once commander of the Eisenstein, now Agentia Primus of Malcador the Sigillite.

From the desolation of Isstvan to the halls of the Imperial Palace itself, he stands as a paragon of loyalty and protector of the innocent, ever ready to strike back at the traitorous allies of the Warmaster. But Garro is walking a path of his own, one that may lead him to question his own place in the Imperium...and what if he, too, should falter?

This audiobook contains James Swallow's complete saga of Nathaniel Garro in the Horus Heresy - the audio drama series is embellished and expanded in prose, with additional scenes to represent the author's original vision. This all serves as prelude to the events of the novella Vow of Faith, bringing Garro closer to his inescapable destiny as the first true martyr of the Lectitio Divinitatus.

Critic reviews

" Garro is not a collection of short stories - it's James Swallow's full novelisation of Nathaniel Garro's story arc, something we've previously only seen (in part) in the audio dramas and novella. There are new and extended scenes, whole new chapters in fact, making this just about the most definitive exploration of the founding of the Knights Errant, and everything that comes after...." (Laurie Goulding, The Horus Heresy series editor)

I can't explain how happy Chapter 11 made me 😃 can't explain more for spoilers 😃

5 Stars for Chapter 11 alone 😃

I admit that I prefer the fully-cast versions, but Toby Longwirth is superb as a one man ensemble. The story itself is massive, as it would be given that it's part of what has to be one of the most epically-scaled sagas in modern literature, but it is nuanced and holds the attention well. The protagonist is one of the best written that I've encountered in this genre.

Gripping and well narrated

I have always found this character fascinating, his faith in the Emperor being his driving force. This give a further insight to this intriguing legionary.

Interesting expansion of a character profile
