Sons of the Hydra

Warhammer 40,000

De: Rob Sanders

Narrado por: Tom Alexander

An Alpha Legion Audiobook

In the hostile universe of the 41st Millennium, where allegiances are ever fickle, few of the Emperor’s sons are more difficult to understand or predict than the Alpha Legion.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a story about the sneakiest and most oblique of traitors, written by Rob Sanders, master of the twisty-turny tale. It's sure to make your head spin…

THE STORY

Branded traitor since the Heresy, the motives and actions of the Alpha Legion have always been shrouded in mystery. Alpha Legionnaire Occam the Untrue leads his warband out of its hunting grounds in the Maelstrom on an epic quest for salvation, not just for himself, but for his whole Legion. With the forces of the Inquisition snapping at their heels, Occam and his followers must use all their guile and considerable martial prowess as they make their way to the cold heart of the galaxy, to a confrontation that no one, least of all Occam himself, could have foreseen.

love alpha legion

it is a solid Warhammer book, good story, great pace, made my lore nerd ass feel like I wasn't sure what was around the corner and I loved it.

Great book Hydra Dominatus

Alpha legion at its best, would 10:10 recommend for any ghost legion fans you’ll love it

Hydra Dominatus

Great story and as one would expect with the alpha Legion, full of twist and turns. Can be a bit difficult at first to keep track of all the different characters, but rectified as the story goes on.

This book is classic alpha legion imo.

this book is non stop betrayal after betrayal. The end has so many implications. Im curious why the audio book is just now coming out? maybe something is coming out soon that will shed more light on this group or another alpha legion warband.

Hydra. Dominatus.

The heads of the Hydra are many, peering into the void from every vantage Seen and Unseen. True and Untrue.

For that is the way of the Hydra. A multitude of action and motive with singularity of purpose and design, Known and Unknown.

Sown then is the blood of the Hyrda. Clean and Unclean.

Hydra Dominatus. Yet, this is a lie.

Absolutely one of the best.

I listened to it all in one sitting, it was so great. The characters are fun and not copy and pasted with fun twists and turns from start to end. This is finally an Alpha Legion book I can proudly say is outstanding.

Classic

Not like most alpha legion books, but somehow kinda the perfect alpha legion book. Really cool story, awesome characters, loved everything about this book. The va should be the default va for any book that has necrons in it, the best portrayal of a necrons voice I have ever heard, if I could give him six stars for his performance on that alone I would.

Simple

Every character is an extreme, and just flat. Every faction has little to no nuance, with no inner conflict. The main character is a "good" guy posing as a bad guy, but never questions his own actions. Zero inner dialog about remorse or questioning his actions. No remorse or resentment for the world he has been forced to leave. Word-bearers were just classic mustache-twirlers. Feels like pages ripped from any typical good-guy speech/scene, then just replaced everything with antonyms. Again, no nuance. The ending (no spoilers) is wild. The implications within the final paragraphs are frankly too far-reaching. The author has managed to make nothing happen, but yet everything could change, which you could say is very "Alpha-legion", but honestly should be scaled back. Honestly, this could have been a 3 book series, but it was condensed into 1, so events just happen, nothing is explored, and personal development is left on the cutting room.

Did not feel like the Alpha Legion

Sons of the Hydra felt like every other space marine book. I kept waiting for the super secret double crosses and they never happened. It was a fetch quest with extra steps.
