Mark of Calth

The Horus Heresy, Book 25

By: Guy Haley, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Anthony Reynolds, Dan Abnett, David Annandale, Graham McNeill, Rob Sanders

Narrated by: Gareth Armstrong, Jonathan Keeble, David Timson

The Heresy came to Calth without warning. In just a few hours of betrayal and bloodshed, the proud warriors of the XIIIth Legion - Guilliman's own Ultramarines - were laid low by the treachery of their erstwhile brothers of the XVIIth.

Now, as the planet is scoured by solar flares from the wounded Veridian star, the survivors must take the fight to the remaining Word Bearers and their foul allies or face damnation in the gloomy arcology shelters beneath the planet's surface.

In the novella-length Calth That Was, Graham McNeill highlights the fateful encounter that will alter the destiny of Captain Ventanus and shape the face of the Ultramarines Chapter for 10,000 years to come. The battle for Calth is far from over.

pretty good

Early stories are boring, after The underground war it really picks up. unmarked is incredible

Slow Start but Great Ending

It was slow to start, with the first half of the book being pretty average, but the second half was filled with some riveting stories, and the final story in particular was fantastic.

nice antology

these antologies are a big hard sometimes and the first time around i didnt enjoy it very much but second time around it was much Better

Great follow up to 'Know No Fear'

'Know no Fear' is a great anthology of stories taking place in the aftermath of the betrayal at Calth as remnants of the Ultramarines and Word Bearers fight for scraps in the tunnels below. A good variety of stories and perspectives with perhaps a little too much of the Word Bearers. Look, they're fine, but you can only see someone get taken in by the same con so many times before it gets old. But still worth it. Especially loved the last two stories.

Not Bad

This wasn't a bad audible. Not my favorite. But, I did enjoy the stories. A couple of them in kind of wandered off. Luckily the Narrators keep my attention.

Amazing and in depth lore

Definitely one of my favorite heresy books. Knowing how the siege ends and how Horus dies really puts in perspective how imperative Ol’s mission is. Seeing his backstory was my favorite story and his escape from Macarr!

Mark of Calth book 025

Heavy Reading overall and not a favorite in the series. But you have to read it to move through the HH series. I like the character “All” and very interested in that line.

Narrator matters

I have listened to quite a few different narrators now and believe me it really matters. Some of this book is superbly done. Other times when a different narrator is reading it is just ok.

Good collection

Always great stories and narration is excellent as usual. Not much as far as movement to the overall, larger story.

GREAT

Another excellent story with narration. it h as been sometime since I found a book series as well exrcuted. ty
