The Last Church

The Horus Heresy Series

De: Graham McNeill

Narrado por: Jonathan Keeble

Terra stands upon the brink of Unity. The armies of the self-proclaimed Emperor of Mankind have waged their bloody wars to bring the whole planet under his rule, crushing all traces of outlawed religion and worship from the face of this now secular utopia.

But even the mighty Thunder Warriors cannot cow Uriah Olathaire, last priest of the Church of the Lightning Stone, as he goes about his empty, hollow rituals - and only one last and thoroughly unexpected visitor can bring any hope of a possible reconciliation.

Great insight to the mind of the Emperor...

This title was a great insight to the Emperor's purpose. The final unification of Terra before beginning the Great Crusade.

One of the best

The best Warhammer short story I’ve read/heard so far. Takes you back to the beginning of it all. Highly recommended.

excellent

highly recommend, The story is really interesting and gives deep insight into big E and his personality.

Great short story

Loved it and shows a real deep understanding i liked the characters of course and neither seems flawless. That makes the story believable..

wow

not your average 40k story almost no action but 40k more thrilling please listen

Thought-provoking and magnificent

Graham McNeill is proving to be one of the best the Black Library has to offer. I absolutely loved the way he set the scene of the confrontation of this war of words between the priest of The Last Church on Terra and the mysterious stranger who calls upon him.

As an atheist, I can’t help but identify with The Emperor’s views of religion and will admit to a certain relish at the idea of its eradication. However, McNeill perfectly captures the sinister and apocalyptic undertones inherent in the desire to follow such a being. The complexity of the Emperor’s character snd motivations are captured wonderfully here, as well as the intriguing contradictions of his quest to illuminate humanity with rationality, pursued with the zeal and conviction of a man on a Great Crusade. All of this of course perfectly captured by the excellent Jonathan Keeble.

Don’t miss this one, it was a treat.

Good book, awful interface.

I have nothing to say about the book insomuch as I have to say about my ability to play it. When I clicked to download my copy of the audio book, Audible shoves its garbage MP3 downloading software down my throat instead of just giving me an MP3, and what's worse is the piece of shovelware doesn't even work, I gave it all the necessary information to link it to my account & nothing. Good, now I'm forced to play it from my browser. At least when I buy music from Amazon they give me the option of a direct MP3 download when they're shoving their garbage media player your throat.

The book would've been certainly worth the money I paid for it if the service weren't broken & worthless.

A masterpiece

This really made me stop and think. I came into warhammer for the goofy side of it such as orc but stayed due to it overall enjoyable lore. This book I thought was going to be about the last stand of the church, but it was far better than I expected. It was more philosophical and interesting than what I was expecting from a warhammer book in general.

Oh the irony

Big E is such a fantasticlly ironic character it hurts. The last church displays everything that Big E will inevitably see after the decent of his imperium

amazing story

they're very few books that can bring me to tears this is one of them
