Summary

For too long had the Vth Legion ranged out beyond the sight of the wider Imperium, remaining ignorant of the Warmaster's rebellion and the war that inevitably followed.

Only once their primarch, Jaghatai Khan, had satisfied himself that the path before them was just and true did the White Scars choose a side, taking the fight to the traitors on every front. But, four years later, the Legion's unfettered spirit has been broken by relentless attritional warfare against the Death Guard and the Emperor's Children - the Khan's Stormseers must find a clear route to Terra if they are to take part in the final, apocalyptic battle.

Superb

Chris Wraight smashed this out of the park. I'm so glad he is also writing a Siege of Terra novel for the rematch 😉. John Banks has done another stellar narration and the voice acting is top notch.

unmissable entry in the series

wow I enjoyed listening to this so much.
There are some vague spoilers below!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is one of the first horus heresy books that hasn't left me feeling depressed in a long time
and we are treated to an awesome example of how a primarch fares against a greater daemon.
Epic fleet battles and astartes warfare. Dont skip this one.

Great story, even better voice acting

Love the story. Another excellent chapter in the 30k story. John Banks is superb and really gives the performance 100%.

Better than most.....

.....as always a great performance by the narrator. Story moves quicker in the last third. With a lot of slow build up to start and wade through. Not one to miss but can be a little bit of a slog to start with.

Mediocre

Not as engaging as it should’ve been considering the events covered. It is more white scars lore and that is something,

An amazing book with a lot of pay offs

An amazing book that finishes what the "White Scars" book started. So if you have read that one, then I can't recommend this one enough.

Excellent, highly recommended

A great entry to the HH series.

Great story, good action, emotional in parts.

John Banks performance, especially towards the end, is superb.

watch your ears

The story was fine, interestingly different with some interesting characters and combat scenes, but although this narration is better than the last Scars book (the accents are not so blatantly stereotypical) but any time a demon or the Khan speaks it is like having someone shouting in your ear, especially with headphones.

Possibly the best story in the series?

I have read most of the heresy books, but this is probably the tightest story of the series. It starts at a high tempo and doesn't let up. Where other stories can drag by various subplots that might end up somewhere eventually. The lack of these helped the flow and also meant that the amount of prior knowledge for the book is minimal.

Highly recommended.
