Publisher's Summary
An Astra Militarum novel.
The storm has broken, and the forces of Chaos batter against Cadia's defences. Lord Castellan Creed leads the defence of the fortress world, but for how much longer can they hold out. Cadia stands...but will it stand forever?
Listen to It Because:
Justin D Hill follows up his Ursarkar Creed short stories in Legends of the Dark Millennium: Astra Militarum with the tale of the hero's finest - and darkest - hour.
The story:
Under almost constant besiegement by the hosts pouring from the Eye of Terror, Cadia acts as a bulwark against tyranny and death. Its fortresses and armies have held back the hordes of Chaos for centuries, but that grim defiance is about to reach its end.
As Abaddon's Thirteenth Black Crusade batters Cadia's defences, and armies of the Imperium flock to reinforce this crucial world, a terrible ritual long in the making comes to fruition and the delicate balance of this brutal war shifts.
From the darkness, a hero rises to lead the beleaguered defenders, Lord Castellan Ursarkar Creed, but even with the armoured might of the Astra Militarum and the strength of the Adeptus Astartes, will it be enough to avert disaster and prevent the fall of Cadia? While Creed lives, there is hope. While there is breath in the body of a single defender, Cadia stands...but for how much longer?
Written by Justin D Hill. Running time 7hrs 39mins. Narrated by David Seddon.

Very good listen
Great book overall, had to re listen to some chapters as you can get a little lost in places, but other than that, very good

Great book
Loved the book and can't wait to get the next one. I've always wanted a more in detail explanation on how the guardsmen felt on Cadia's last stand and this book truly delivered!

Great quick read
Love the accent work on the Cadians, the pacing of the story is quick and into it. Some of the characters got a bit jumbled for me but still great overall

A book almost entirely in exposition
I love gonzo fiction. Which is why I have a soft spot for Black Library books. What brings the military kitchen sink that is the Warhammer 40K setting to life is the wonderful characters the authors breath life into. The loyal guards from Gaunt's Ghosts, the manic evil of Fabius Bile, the otherworldly Mechanicus of the Tech Priest series, and so on.
So I struggled with this book, which largely ignores the characters in favor for reporting the battle from a dispassionate, almost textbook-like manner. In one chapter, we read about a character about to enter battle, and get excited to hear her experiences, only to jump ahead with a report on how the battle went. I felt continually lifted out of the world. What a lost opportunity to thrust the reader into the world through a hero.
That said, the writing is clean and the plot (of the war, not the characters) solid and as believable as you can get in the 40K setting. I just wanted to have more focus on characters and their lives within this terrible event.

Notable only for it being the fall of Cadia
The characters are much weaker compared to others in the series. some of the action is good and you do get to see the impact Creed has but overall its very meh

Almost fan fiction
the writing is at the level of fan fiction, constantly repeating the same metaphor almost word for word over and over again, changing the setting description on a whim, describing things that happen one after another in the exact same way. it's a painful book which is a shame as the voice actor has great range and I could see him doing well with a decently written story.
