About this listen

Audiobook 9 in the Dawn of Fire Series

The first phase of the Indomitus Crusade is drawing to a close. Vast swathes of Imperium Sanctus are back under tentative Imperial control. Still the primarch Roboute Guilliman faces wars on every front. His desire to cross the Great Rift to save Imperium Nihilus remains strong, even as news of renewed assaults on Ultramar draw his attention home.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
The Dawn of Fire series reaches its epic conclusion! How will Roboute Guilliman deal with an ancient xenos threat? Was the Indomitus Crusade doomed from the very start, and can an already split Imperium survive?

THE STORY
The Avenging Son must delay his return home and head to the galactic south, taking a large part of the crusade with him, for the menace of the necrons is gathering strength. Battlefleet Kallides, despatched into the dangerous null space of the Pariah Nexus some years before, is feared lost. A greater unity is being forged between the necron dynasties, and with it come whispers of a power from the ancient past returned to rule them all… Whispers of the Silent King.

Great book, solid story and just the right amount of action. Superb narration as always from John Banks. My only complaint is that this series on the whole has been pretty poor with little direction and a lot of filler books by authors of questionable talent such as Nick Kyme. My suggestion skip books 5-8 as they add nothing to the series.

Great finish to a poor series

There are too many threads left unanswered.. the other 8 books laid the ground work for a showdown with the traitors, yet this book was 99.99% focus on the Necron's - so how can this be the end? Its not even the end of beginning!

But an excellent book and amazing performance.. but very disappointed to have so much unanswered!

Excellent book ... but
