Summary
In the aftermath of the Dropsite Massacre at Isstvan V, a battered and bloodied force of Iron Hands, Raven Guard and Salamanders regroups on a seemingly insignificant death world.
Fending off attacks from all manner of monstrous creatures, the fractious allies find hope in the form of human refugees fleeing from the growing war and cast adrift upon the tides of the warp. But even as the Space Marines carve out a sanctuary for them in the jungles of Pythos, a darkness gathers that threatens to consume them all.

Irrelevant and uniteresting
A complete sideshow, uninspiring. However beautifully read by Keeble. I Wish i had Skipped this book

never listening to it again
JK is always a great narrator, this was just a bad book, worst in HH series, adds nothing, skip it and enjoy not wasting hours on it

My least favorite so far!
Trying to get through the massive collection that is the Horus Heresy, I find that this is one of those books that would have not mattered if I read/listened to it at all.

What a disposable book
I’m at a lose to where this book actually fits into the HH. It doesn’t further the plot, or bring any new ideas.
Pacing was sloppy and i finished this book because I paid for it, certainly not to enjoy it.

An OK book but wouldn't be recommending it
As the title says this book was OK and had some interesting ideas that it ultimately didn't deliver on for me. I felt that no worthwhile conclusions were reached and that the characters and their motivations could have been further explored.
Overall the book didn't add anything to the Heresy storyline and left no interesting reveals or hooks to be picked up by later books. The characters were a bit too cliche for my liking although think elements could have been further explored like two Iron Hands having very different outlooks and opinions instead of the sergeant just giving up and deciding his captain must be right.
I was left feeling that there was no suitable conclusion to the story, as the struggle the characters went through and challenges they faced ultimately resulted in no notable change or worthwhile outcome. If your a fan of the Iron Hands you may still like this closer look at them and the action scenes are decent.

Enjoyed this the best so far In the series
I don’t really care that it doesn’t advance the story. If you’re reading the books you’ve a bloody long way to go anyway. Best battle descriptions, I like the full doom of this book and no hope action.

Best yet?
Might be my favourite so far in the series. I normally get a bit bored during action scenes, but these really had me. Great characters. Best performance I've heard. Really enjoyed this.

pointless story, adds nothing to the saga, just skip it.
this was a painfully frustrating listen. at no part of this book was I interested in what was going on, had no characters to be hooked on to route for and generally found myself saying out loud "get on with it!" so much of this is just descriptions of the things that are happening, but nothing really does happen. just left me wanting my hours back and my money.
this whole story could have been a 5 minute sum up in a different book.

The characters
Grim! Bitter! Deceitful!…..steadfast! Loved this book and all it contained. Definitely brought some well deserved lore into the Iron Hands
