Audiobook 1 of the Dark Imperium trilogy.

The first phase of the Indomitus Crusade is over, and the conquering primarch, Roboute Guilliman, sets his sights on home. The hordes of his traitorous brother, Mortarion, march on Ultramar, and only Guilliman can hope to thwart their schemes with his Primaris Space Marine armies.

Listen to It Because

Experience the beginning of the Plague Wars, as the Imperium's lord regent fights to reclaim his home from the Death Guard and their daemonic allies.

The Story

Fell times have come to the galaxy. Cadia has fallen, destroyed by the onslaught of Chaos. A Great Rift in the warp has opened, and from its depths spew daemons and the horrors of Old Night.

But all hope is not lost… A hero, long absent, has returned, and with him comes the wrath of the Ultramarines reborn. Roboute Guilliman has arisen to lead the Imperium out of darkness on a crusade the likes of which has not been seen since the fabled days of the Emperor.

But never before have the forces of Ruin amassed in such numbers, and nowhere is safe from despoliation. From the dreaded Scourge Stars come the hordes of the Plaguefather, Lord Nurgle, and their pustulent eye is fixed on Macragge. As the Indomitus Crusade rages on, Guilliman races to Ultramar and a confrontation with the Death Guard.

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by John Banks.

Just as good as the first time!

Love the set up and execution of the battles and story.. Especially nurgle’s entrance onto the garden planet!!

My second time listening, this was my first 40K book and I’m now re-reading this to prepare for godblight!

This trilogy really has everything you’d want as a reader, this is a must read!

Guilliman is a well fleshed out lead

I like the dialogue with Guilliman. He's a real person with complexity. The death guard are ok a little chaos doing chaos things but still good. The cawl inferior is a hoot.

Amazing flexibility and range

Well written story, and well read. One voice did amazingly well to offer some variation between key character "voices".
The speaker fit the Image of the Primarch well.

Worth jt

For the EMPEROR! I really enjoyed this book, but I enjoy most things about warhammer.

Awesome ⚔

Had big expectations upon starting this and was not disappointed. Great performance by the narrator. The story itself was engaging and not once did I lose interest. Highly recommend.

Awesome

Very good. I missed the book were gulliman was resurrected but I am thoroughly pleased with the majesty of a rise. Primarch and hope for the imperium.

Good story, not so great narration.

The story overall was enjoyable. It had great pacing, interesting characters, and great dialogue. Haley did a fantastic job with Robute’s characterization and that was the highlight of the novel. There was a bit too much bolter-porn for my liking though. The most glaring issue with the audiobook was the narration, the narrator at times had a frantic pace, his different voices were all over the place and the audio recording peaked at times which was uncomfortable. Other than that, I enjoyed it.

Good set up

It’s a good set up for what’s to come but stand alone. Eh it’s alright

Worth every second.

Such an amazing book, I hope the second book is as good or even better.

The primaris marine integration

Pretty good book gives you a good feel of big G and his plans for the future of the imperium
