Black Templars at their finest.

A story of sacrifice and courage in a universe where there is only war.

Black Templar Space Marine fans will enjoy this read - well worth the time and coin.

Helsreach

Truly a masterfully told tale and one of the best sci-fi novels ever written. Jonathan Keeble is a perfect narrator as always. A must-listen for 40k fans and an equally enjoyable starting point for those new to Warhammer 40,000

My friend was right to pressure me into listening to this

Just a great story all around, has everything you hope a 40k novel would and the narrator does a great job making sure you know exactly which character is speaking.

Helsreach Animated Series

I watched this first on YouTube. It was crafted with EXCELLENCE.

I see the images now, in my minds eye as I listen to Jonathan Keeble... how does he make such believable female voices!

Feels will be had

You know there’s no hope for any the poor souls of Helsreach. However, Aaron Dembski-Bowden’s amazing writing and Jonathan Keeble’s stellar performance will slip past whatever emotional barriers you’ve constructed and rip your heart out regardless. It’s one hell of a wild ride.

Excellent Story!

Kind of a slow start for a Space Marine story, but great nonetheless. It is a great look into the minds of a Reclusiarch. I've always liked the Chaplains so it is cool to hear a story with the main protagonist as one.

Bleak and action packed. Warhammer in a nut shell.

This book opens up with the main character telling you he is going to die. The real story is how he conducts himself with that knowledge. His frustrations, his doubts, and his anger all rolled up and fighting against his feelings of Duty and Honor. There is also the wrecking non-human booty in the name of the Imperium. Action packed and gripping, you feel for the characters. I hope gameswork shop puts out more 40k content. This was great!

Black Templar’s!

Templar’s, Orc’s, Titans ... great story of Armageddon. The reclusiarc is a bad a.. warrior. ADB is great!

one of the finest 40k stories there it

wonderful narration, amazing story, and all the grimdank future you can handle in the 40k universe.

Amazing

This story encapsulates all the best aspects of the Warhammer40k genre. Reaching deeply into the thoughts of the Legio Astartes while moving seemlessly from first to third person. The action scenes are exciting without dominating the story. The supporting characters range from tragic to humorous. I have read dozens of Warhammer/Black Library books- Horus Heresy and numerous additional fiction books, of all them, this tale is one of my favorites. Also note that this was made into a Youtube animated movie of the same name.
