About this listen

A Flesh Tearers Novel

Having secured Baal, the Flesh Tearers receive timely reinforcements from the Indomitus Crusade. In that moment of hope, however, they realise they've not heard from their now isolated homeworld of Cretacia in far too long...

Listen to it because...

The Flesh Tearers are Sanguinius' wrath writ in flesh and blood. Spared extinction thanks to reinforcements from the Indomitus Crusade, they are the vanguard of the Angelic Host, securing Baal and its neighbouring worlds for the Great Angels and the Imperium. Yet in fulfilling their oath to the Lord of the Blood, they have isolated themselves from their homeworld, Cretacia – and there has been no word from the garrison left to hold it.

The story:

Ordered by Gabriel Seth to secure Cretacia, Chaplain Dumah and Apothecary Barachial set course for the Flesh Tearers' homeworld. But when they finally lay eyes on it once more, will they find a garrison standing firm, or a desolate wasteland scoured by their enemies? The Space Marines must walk in the footsteps of their chapter's mythic founder, and along the way they will learn what it means to embrace the Wrath of the Lost – or die trying.

A vile chapter

The flesh tearers come across as bad as any chaos company. They clearly care not for mankind. Sanguinius weeps.

Angry Marines: The Novel.

The flesh Tearers are always portrayed as barely holding on to the humanity, and this book puts that across, but I feel it went over the top with it. Whilst they are known to be angry and one of the most violent chapters, they are still sons of the Great Angel and should have more about them than just “me angry, me no like what you say, me want to crush you, me thirsty, you look tasty”.

Maybe with the being Primaris could be an excuse as they do not have the grounding a first born raised on cretatia would, surrounded by the chapters home world and history.

Hopefully there is a follow up so we can see if being on the home world does indeed ground and stabilise these angry boys.

Narration is good, it’s not Toby Longworth good, but it’s still good.

Pacing of the book is slow.

Primaris learn how to Flesh Tearer

I sat and read through a load of the reviews before nervously using my monthly credit.
Honestly, I loved the book, and I find that the bulk of the reviews aren't appreciating the situation of the story.
Primaris marines going from unnumbered sons, to become flesh tearers, acting in a way they believe FT to be, before coming to learn what it truelly means to be the second sons of Sanguinius.
Yes, there is a lot of anger, borderline petulance, and distain for the mortals around them, but not to the scale described in many of the reviews.
100% worth a listen!

Great story of the Flesh Tearers!

I like how it show’s different sides to the flesh tearers rather than just mindless brutes like world eaters. Gives good insight into the special role of a chaplain within a chapter of the blood.

RUBBISH

This is one of the "Space Marine" battles type books that comes across as if it was written by a twelve-year-old on meth.

It has no interesting lore, no character development, no build-up of story, no core characters, no clever twists and turns, no humour and is soooooooo grim dark it just comes across as lame - like when you're trying way waaaaaaaaaay too hard to be cool.

And trying to "cure the thirst" ... I mean come on... like really. Primaris or not, Dante and Mephiston and Cawl all know that the thirst is metaphysical. It isn't in the gene-seed. It can't be cured. It is part and parcel of the Blood legacy... but whatever.

Everyone is unlikeable, they are just moody man-children, that are bad-tempered and complete idiots. I was glad when this book ended and I have listened to hundreds of books from the franchise.

Black Library, hang your heads in shame. It's like you let someone write about the flesh tearers when they hadn't even read the previous blood angels books ... and I even mean the bad Deus series from a few years back, so they could swear to never allow such bad writing to happen again.

A bad portrayal of the Flesh Tearers

A one dimensional boring look on the Flesh Tearers making them more like chaos then imperial. Everyone is just being angry and doing stupid things like killing all their human helpers.

The serfs nightmare

This might have been an OK story if it wasn't for the endless killing. These guys are worse then the world eaters ,without the excuse. Ex comunicatos this annoying chapter of space marines.
