About this listen

Amidst the galaxy-wide war of the Great Crusade, the Emperor castigates the Word Bearers for their worship.

Distraught at this judgement, Lorgar and his Legion seek another path while devastating world after world, venting their fury and fervour on the battlefield. Their search for a new purpose leads them to the edge of the material universe, where they meet ancient forces far more powerful than they could have imagined.

Having set out to illuminate the Imperium, the corruption of Chaos takes hold, and their path to damnation begins. Unbeknownst to the Word Bearers, their quest for truth contains the very roots of heresy.

First book I've bought since I was a kid. Can safely say The First Heretic did not dissapoint! Great place to start when exploring the chaos history of 40k.
Gareth Armstrong did an amazing job of narration and felt like the perfect fit for Argal Tal.

Phenomenal

the story was gripping and enlightening, but some of the more important parts where whispered and very very low, often far too low to be hear .

great story but hard to hear

If the purpose of this book was to cement my hatred for Lorgar and make me believe the Word Bearers got what they deserved in the Scouring, it succeeded.

Have to take away a point for writing Guilliman and the Emperor like idiots though.
