About this listen

A Primarchs Audiobook

Who better to relate the tale of Alpharius than the primarch himself? As he tells of his deeds, bear one thing in mind: nothing can be trusted when it comes from serpent's mouth.

Listen to it because:

I am Alpharius...and so are you.

The story:

Legends abound of the glorious - or infamous - deeds of the emperor's sons. Yet almost nothing is known of Alpharius, the most mysterious of them all, for the lord of the Alpha Legion is unparalleled in the art of obfuscation. Such are his gifts of secrecy and deceit that even his rediscovery has remained an enigma - until now. But when the tale comes from the serpent’s mouth, where do the lies end and the truth begin?

Written by Mike Brooks. Narrated by Jonathan Keeble.

Finally some insight to the Alpha Legion (this is a lie)

Whether it a lie or not the truth has been mixed in so says Alpharius or Omeagon true to the Alpha Legion style a great collection of short stories of the primarch and his antics

Almost perfect

The one thing I would have loved to see is more interaction scenes between A/O and the other primarchs, Malcador and the Big E.

Very entertaining

The writing and performance were excellent, thoroughly enjoyable book. However there may be some inconsistencies or plot holes that may annoy some but that is expected in an Alpha Legion book. Overall would highly recommend.

Deceptively brilliant

Everything is a lie. Unless its the truth. A wonderful story about the primarchs of the least known legion. I enjoyed this story and whether it be truth or not I will enjoy it regardless and use the materials provided as basis for my own works. Well worth the purchase.

Revelations

An incredible story revealing some detail on the most mysterious Primarch(s). I am disappointed to have finished the book after listening to the life of such an intriguing character.

I am Alpharius

Written in the first person it is an interesting account of certain events in the life of Alpharius from his crash landing on his Homeworld to his discovery of his twin brother. Definitely an interesting read and highly reccomended.
