Summary

Reborn in body and spirit beneath Mount Deathfire, the primarch Vulkan gathers his most trusted sons and prepares for the final part of his journey.

The Legions shattered at Isstvan V have stalled the Warmaster’s advance across the galaxy, but fresh cracks are spreading through the alliance between the Iron Hands, Salamanders and Raven Guard, along with mysterious rumours of the return of Ferrus Manus. Haunted by a sense of destiny unfulfilled, Vulkan must choose between joining their war of vengeance against the traitors and following his own barely understood path all the way to the Throneworld itself.

Great.. But

Love vulcan and the salamanders, however, this author can be a bit hard to follow, the esoteric losses me at points.. Hay that is probably me.. Great performance again by this narrator.. I liked the African lilt to the salamander warrior.. Just how I imagined when reading salamander story's.

Solid....

.....worth a listen and good value for a credit. Narrator awesome as always and a cracking final couple of chapters. Great if you like your Salamanders and Iron Hands. ties together a few story threads and continues to build to the Siege.

This is one of my favourites.

I have over 30 Horus Heresy audiobook. This one is up there in my top five. Anything to do with Vulkan is gold in the series. I listened to it over 50 times. Very entertaining. 5 star listen.

Was ok.

Not a must read I feel at the moment. might possibly come into play later though. Jonathan did great voices as usual, just the story was bitty in places.
still enjoyed it in places you deffo have to listen instead of coast in places.
