A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook

For too long the Emperor’s Children have been denied their birthright. Their once-glorious Legion has been fractured into disparate warbands, condemned to ravage world after futile world in the pursuit of ambition and excess. But no longer.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Fulgrim has a simple job for his sons, but what happens when it turns out to be far more complicated than it seems? Dive into the fractious nature of the Emperor's Children when things aren't quite going their way – rife with arrogance, internecine conflict, and divergent viewpoints.

THE STORY

Lord Fulgrim – ascended Primarch of the III Legion, the Perfect Son, the Emperor-in-Waiting – has issued a challenge to his scattered warriors: vanquish the Imperial world of Crucible, and bring him the head of the Black Templar charged with its defence.

But Fulgrim’s plans go far beyond the conquest of a single planet, and what should have been a swift and bloody offensive turns into a gruelling siege. With success uncertain, a world in flames around them, and the Legion turning their weapons inwards as well as out, the would-be champions are forced to confront a bitter truth. What must they sacrifice for victory and the favour of their Primarch, and what will be left of them when the war is over?

kurzweilige Geschichte

The performance was excellent, loved the narrator, and while I adore our new characters, I’m missing established EC, if not as characters, at least to be mentioned. Also, for the fact that he’s the titular character, Fulgrim’s not in it an awful lot, though he dominates every scene he’s in. And it really doesn’t give an Emperor’s Children vibe. There are moments fitting their extremes but they feel few and far between. And I could’ve done without the mortal POV, tbh

Not enough Fulgrim, kind of meh vibes

Der Roman selbst stellt den Zwist und die Intrigen innerhalb der Emperors Children an sich gut dar und ist, wenn es rein um die Legion an sich geht, eine gute Kriegsgeschichte. Das Hauptproblem ist, dass Fulgrims Rückkehr an sich nicht thematisiert wird. Wir erfahren nur kurz, was Fulgrim in Zukunft, zumindest seiner eigenen Aussage nach vor hat, aber davon abgesehen hat der Roman nichts weiter mit Fulgrims Plänen zu tun. Wenn man sich mit Warhammer nicht auskennt und aus anderen Quellen weiß, dass Fulgrim in den letzten 10.000 Jahren kaum in Erscheinung getreten ist wird einem nicht bewusst sein das der Umstand, dass Fulgrim seine Söhne zu sich ruft um an der Seite seiner Legion einen Planeten anzugreifen, etwas Außergewöhnliches ist. Leider sind dies nur implizite Umstände, die der Roman nie anspricht und so stellt dieser Roman nur eine Geschichte während Fulgrims Rückker, aber nicht seine eigentliche Rückkehr und deren Umstände dar.

Gute Geschichte, fehlender Fokus
