Über diesen Titel
A Horus Heresy novel
Hero. Villain. Protector. Destroyer. Loyal. Fallen. Luther embodies the duality at the heart of the Dark Angels – but what is his story? Prepare to find out....
Listen to It Because
Get new insights into one of the key figures of the Horus Heresy, who shaped the destiny of the Dark Angels for 10 millennia, in a new novel by the master of First Legion fiction, Gav Thorpe.
The Story
Knight of the Angelicasta. Saviour of the Lion. Grand Master of the Order. Lord of the Dark Angels. Protector of Caliban. Chaos Heretic. Destroyer of Caliban. Sorcerer of the Abyss. Arch-traitor. Dark Oracle. First of the Fallen.
Can one man be all of these things?
Kept alive and imprisoned for 10,000 years, Luther is the curse and the salvation of the Dark Angels made manifest. None are so close to the heart and history of the Chapter as the man that embodies all that was great about the First Legion and all that is shameful about the Dark Angels. In his story is writ the tale of the Horus Heresy and the fall from Enlightenment in a single long life. Glory, honour, pride, shame and betrayal weave a tapestry of truth and lies that the Supreme Grand Masters of the Dark Angels have sought to understand and unbind across 10 bloody millennia. Luther claims repentance for his past deeds, but was it his sins that condemned the Chapter to its secretive fate, or should warnings from history have been more closely heeded?
Written by Gav Thorpe. Narrated by Andrew James Spooner.

Good story
You probably know more or less what will go down in this book, it's straight lore all the way without any crazy reveals or spoilers. I liked the way Luther seems to become ever more sane over the millennia while the galaxy goes ever more mad.
And there's one thing they keep doing now, and so does Gav Thorpe here: calling the First Legion primarch only "the Lion". Yes it's been a while since Lionel Johnson passed on, and the joke of naming the embodiment of 1980ies alpha masculinity after a drunk poet just because the latter wrote a gay poem called "the dark angel" just might not be evident to everyone - but still, the primarch of the First is called Lion El'Jonson, because apparently Lion means lion in low Gothic while El'Jonson means son of the forest. I wish we still had some of this whacky humor in modern 40k, but apparently copyright law is more important these days.
Anyhow, I liked the book.

Nice short stories without
Though I like the story and how it gives Luther some more background it lacks gravitas to show why his upbringing made him firstly untrustworthy to the Lion and to have wanted independence for Caliban so desperately.
I think the author tried to convey that the hunt for the fallen should not be a priority for the dark angels and that something lies in store for the future of 40k but I wanted to know what makes Luther tick to make him seek his petty revenge on the Lion.
