About this listen

Book 8 in the Dawn of Fire Series

As the Indomitus Crusade rages on, Inquisitor Rostov discovers vital intelligence that could reveal the plan of the notorious Hand of Abaddon, and hastily gathers together those loyal to his cause.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The dark schemes of the Hand of Abaddon near fruition. Can the already stretched forces of the Imperium manage to hunt down and prevent this new threat?

THE STORY

Defending the Anaxian Line, Ultramarines Lieutenant Ferren Areios uncovers a dread vision that has ties to the mission of an old ally. Meanwhile, Magda Kesh campaigns alongside the 84th Mordian. Though she refutes her fate as something more than a mere soldier, is she truly touched by the Emperor?

Despite a fractious alliance, the Hand’s scheme is reaching culmination. Amidst the infighting, Tharador Yheng yearns to be free of her master Tenebrus’ shadow and claim her destiny. But another acolyte has embarked on his own path, the Red Corsair Graeyl Herek. Both vie for the favour of the Dark Gods, and the means to harness an ancient evil that could reshape the war between the Imperium and Chaos.

Written by Nick Kyme. Narrated by John Banks. Runtime 13 hours and 4 minutes approx.

a lot of jumping around sometimes difficult to follow especially on audio but good story overall

good narration

Nothing much happening, there is enough characters and scope in this series to be an epic second HH style story. But it’s not sadly

Just not that good really

This is a novel clearly intended to move pieces across the board and catch up with many of the seemingly random characters we have meet so far.

This reminds me of Nick Kyme's work in the Heresy Series. Nobody's farvorite but keeping the story moving.

Nick Kyme classic

Good character development and reintroduction of past characters, but weak ending, hopefully not the last in the series.

Good character development.
