About this listen

Audiobook 3 of the Dark Imperium trilogy.

The destinies of primarch and Imperial Regent Roboute Guilliman and his traitorous brother Mortarion come together for the climactic battle of the Plague Wars.

Listen to It Because

It's the throwdown you've been waiting for, as Guilliman and Mortarion work out 10,000 years of pent-up resentment in a clash for the ages.

The Story

The paths of Roboute Guilliman and his fallen brother Mortarion bring them inexorably together on Iax. Once a jewel of the Imperium, the garden world is dying as the plans of the Lord of Death to use it as a fulcrum to drag the stellar realm of Ultramar into the warp come to deadly fruition.

While Guilliman attempts to prevent the destruction of his kingdom, Mortarion schemes to bring his brother low with the Godblight, a disease created in the Cauldron of Nurgle itself, made with the power to destroy a son of the Emperor.

Primarchs clash on the ravaged landscapes of Iax. The gods go to war and the wider galaxy balances on a knife-edge of destruction. As something powerful stirs in the sea of souls, only one thing is certain – no matter who wins the last great clash of the Plague War, the repercussions of victory will echo through eternity....

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by John Banks.

This is the third or 4th time i have listened to this trilogy but the 1 time i finished this last book in the Dark Imperium trilogy.
I don't know what i expected or rather what i wanted to be possible.
The first 2 books are BRILLIANT and give the pure essense of WH40k while clearly marking that WH40k is evolving inte something completely new, ending what everyone had grown accustomed to.
Ending the stagnation of the lore and giving us a fair amount of prophetic hints of the future of the WH40k story line.
If you're open minded, perceptive, wise to the lore and have a bit of fantasy you can even see a few hints of how the author teases that there might be plans for the great conclusion, to what? That remains to see.
But apart from that i expected more of a climactic, EPIC resolution to a duel/war that has been a long time coming!
But it is AMAZING and WONDERFUL even if it didn't live up to what i wanted.
But if the story leads into what the trilogy hints, then a lit of AWESOME EVENTS are about to happen in the near future.
which would make me extremely happy to see one day!

It's absolutely great! Just not a perfect end.

A well-wriiten and entertaining book that gets the characterisation right.

Make sure that you pay attention and read between the lines. If you don't, the ending can seem to come out of left field.

Those final chapters set up a whole new paradigm for 40k.

Fantastic and Game-Changing

if you've read the other dark imperium books, this is a must! Performed brilliantly!

A perfect end to the trilogy

The story was very good and full of twists and turns, can't wait for the next one.

awesome

First of all, the Nurgle daemons' elements of the book are delivered in the style of an old Disney movie, from maybe the time of Pinnochio or The Sorcerer's Apprentice, which is a much needed break from the relentlessly stagnant 'matter-of-fact' style of most of BLs books. Wetblanket Pilliman's space bureaucrats need a goofy foil or their dry attitudes can risk becoming outright dusty. Matbe we can see more Adeptus Accountants going to war with Orks? In their beloved wacky style, mind you, none of that edgedark perma-miserable trash from The War of the Beast. I rip on Robbie, but I'm actually fond of him. In this series, like Abnett's Know No Fear, Guilliman is fleshed out as a likeable character that DEVELOPS (watch closely, other primarchs; this is how it's done). I've read the entire HH series to this point and this series was what got me liking and looking forward to books by Guy Haley. BL, give this man the TIME he needs to turn out high quality works. GWs plastic crap empire is about to go down the drain thanks to the advent of cheap, private 3D printing and everyone knows you know it, so take the time and care you need to make the lore shine. Don't sacrifice quality for the sake of churning out quantity. THIS is your legacy!

Don't see everyone's whining as valid here.
