Story
After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Kept alive and imprisoned for 10 thousand years, Luther is the curse and the salvation of the Dark Angels made manifest. None are so close to the heart and history of the Chapter as the man that embodies all that was great about the First Legion and all that is shameful about the Dark Angels. In his story is writ the tale of the Horus Heresy and the fall from Enlightenment in a single long life. Glory, honour, pride, shame and betrayal weave a tapestry of truth and lies that the Supreme Grand Masters of the Dark Angels have sought to understand and unbind across 10 bloody millennia.

The Shattered Legions crew of the Sisypheum, broken and at the end of their endurance, find themselves divided - torn between following their resurrected captain on a suicidal mission or obeying orders to return to Terra and rejoin their Legion brothers. Following a series of garbled messages intercepted by the Kryptos, the divided warriors descend to the shattered surface of Luna. Here, their bonds of loyalty, duty, and their devotion to one another will be tested as ancient horrors of the earliest days of gene-manipulation are unleashed, and a long-buried secret is revealed.

For it is he who commands the will of the Legio Custodes that most esteemed and dedicated cadre of elite warriors. He is the Emperor’s sword, His shield, His banner and he knows no equal. Clad in shining auramite, his fist clenched around the haft of his Guardian Spear, he is the bulwark against all enemies of the throne, within or without.

Of all the Emperor’s sons who fell to Chaos, it is perhaps Magnus the Red whose tale is the most tragic. Sanctioned because of his desire for knowledge, chastised, judged, and shattered to his very elements – there is much for the Crimson King to feel vengeful for. Yet revenge is not the only thing that draws him to Terra alongside the Warmaster’s besieging armies. He seeks something, a fragment, the missing piece of himself that lies within the most impregnable place on the planet – the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace.

Second time around

Summary
As the Imperium of Mankind spreads across the galaxy, bringing all of humanity into its embrace, the advance is spearheaded by the primarchs, superhuman sons of the immortal Emperor. Each of these heroes is a warrior born and a leader bred, but darkness lurks in the hearts of some and threatens to tear apart all that they have worked to build.
This audio drama anthology contains three full-cast tales, starring the primarchs Konrad Curze, better known as the sinister Night Haunter, and Perturabo, the Lord of Iron. In two stories, the seed of treachery in their hearts threatens to derail their efforts to bring unity to the nascent Imperium. In addition, one story focuses on the mysterious Malcador the Sigillite, the Emperor's closest ally and confidant, as he tells secrets to a dying friend.

Three audio stories from Horus Heresy
Overall, I enjoyed these stories. The tale of Malcador would be my favorite of this collection. There are hints of things past and things to come in these stories. I would have preferred to have these as simple audiobook performances rather than the audio dramas with sound effects.
My biggest gripe with this collection is the same gripe I have with all of the Black Library audio dramas: I think the sound design and editing are terrible. Definitely sub-par. The volume of sound effects varies wildly and widely not only over the course of the three stories, not only between chapters in the stories, but sometimes during paragraphs in the stories. I listen to most of my audiobooks during my four hours of commute time to and from my office. I cannot express how frustrating it is to have to turn the volume up to hear what the voice actor is saying and suddenly have the sound of shuffling feet or whichever sound effect they want to add in blare out louder than the actor. At times, the actor's volume suddenly increases and decreases. I understand that at times this is for dramatic effect but it is still annoying to me as I have to keep adjusting the volume between trying to make out a whisper and trying to avoid deafness and keep my eardrums from bursting.
If you can deal with that bit of volume wackiness, then there are three tales in this collection to enjoy. These stories are not interlinked so you could listen to them in any order or even skip one if you wanted. If you are not a fan of Kurze and the Night Lords, you will not miss anything from the Perturabo and Malcador stories.

If you already bought short stories for any of the three here don't buy it. "Stone and Iron" is in this and I had already bought it before this, I suspect the same for Konrad and Malcador.

a must listen for Heresy Fans!
excellent all star voice performances and effects and brilliant writing. the stories give insights into some of the darkest aspects of the primarchs, notebly Puturabo and and of course Kurze. And the story with malcador is at turns touching and the chilling as he discribes the Emperor's grand plan to a dieing friend. Kurze gets a absolutely chilling SFX treatment.
