Summary
A Blood Angels audiobook.
A religious civil war brings the Blood Angels, commanded by Chief Librarian Mephiston, to a shrine world where they find a mystery that might help Mephiston understand how he survived the Black Rage - and perhaps cure the Blood Angels of their affliction.
Listen to it because:
Delve into the curse of the Blood Angels and how Mephiston survived it, while also exploring notions of faith and the influence of the Emperor on the Imperium of the 41st Millennium.
The story:
The shrine world of Divinatus Prime has become lost to the light of the Astronomican, and no ship can piece its veil. Only the Lord of Death himself, Blood Angels Chief Librarian Mephiston, has any hope of discerning the fate of this once pious world. After enacting a powerful blood ritual, Mephiston and an honour guard of his fellow Blood Angels reach the stricken shrine world to find it seized by religious civil war. Each faction fights for dominance of a potent artefact, the Blade Petrific, said to be wrought by the Emperor Himself. Yet there is more at work here than a mere ideological schism, for Mephiston believes Divinatus Prime could offer answers to how he became the Lord of Death, he who resisted the Black Rage, and possibly even a way to end the curse of ‘the Flaw’ in all Blood Angels.
Written by Darius Hinks.
Narrated by Richard Reed.

Lord of Death indeed
Darius Hinks has really changed my mind about the Blood Angels as I was never really a fan of the sons of sanguinius but this and the other Mephiston books have made me a fan and I have to say narrating these tales suits Richard Reed perfectly

Mediocre
While not a bad subject matter, in that mephiston and the blood angels are interesting characters, both the writing and narration are lack lustre. The story progresses in fits and starts and mephiston himself is depicted, quite annoyingly at times, as a sort of blundering ditsy protagonist with godlike powers. Worth a look if you really are a blood angels fan or if you are just looking for more space marine stories. The Astorath novel would be a better recommendation.

Great insight
Really enjoyed some insight behind Mephiston, and into the workings of librarians. The story was interesting but several plot points were obvious way before thier eventual culmination. Really worth a listen if you like psykers, blood angels or entities of the warp.

A good story, well narrated but not 40K
To elaborate, the story itself is good and the narration great but the writer just does not know 40K lore.
He has Astartes crying out in pain and fear while bleeding out. He has them shocked at towers of bone, feeling sick at massacres and unnerved by crusifiction. He has the GUNSHOT from a plasma pistol put a hole in a humans skull.
I just gave up at the last part. I couldn't suspend my disbelief that this was in the 40K universe anymore.
The whole point of the Astartes is they are psycho conditioned to be numb to all that. They are made to face horror and not be stunned.
Also plasma pistols throw super heated plasma balls, not bullets.
If you don't mind that, it's a bit of a psyker mindbender of a story but well done.
