About this listen

When the world of Armageddon is attacked by orks, the Black Templars Space Marine Chapter are amongst those sent to liberate it. Chaplain Grimaldus and a band of Black Templars are charged with the defence of Hive Helsreach from the xenos invaders in one of the many battle zones.

But as the orks' numbers grow and the Space Marines' numbers dwindle, Grimaldus faces a desperate last stand in an Imperial temple. Determined to sell their lives dearly, will the Black Templars hold on long enough to be reinforced, or will their sacrifice ultimately be in vain?

Gritty from start to Finish.

Jonathan Keeble brought this to life with every character he portrayed, I fully and totally enjoyed the storyline from start to finish. You get to understand what it means to keep your Main Supply Route open and the consequences of it being closed off, completely. You can't help feel for the military and the Templars and what they try to achieve and for the populace for what they must all endure. A cracking good read, audio book I've enjoyed every bolt fired chapter.

Absolutely epic. Not just a great 40k novel, but also a great sci-fi novel.

Great Story. Great Voice Acting.

10/10 would recommend for newer and maybe slightly more familiar 40k lore enthusiasts

An epic and grim tale of a group of Black Templars fighting in the defense of Hive City Helsreach, during the Third War of Armageddon.
This story includes everything you would expect of good story-writing: Good characters, character development, epic battles, drama, tension, suspense and the occasional humorous moment.

It is the very first 40k book I delve into and the first audio-book I've listened to. I believe it is easy enough for even people who are newer to the lore as it presents you with many little facts regarding various factions and units, how they work or think of others without it being too "in your face" with exposition.

Probably the best Black Library book.

Downloaded after watching the YouTube film. it did not disappoint. Narration is superb, characters brilliant and has a propper story based around the development of the central character.

Amazing, honestly one of the best

As someone who has red 10 of the heresy books and a lot more 40K books I will say, this is one of my favourites.
