About this listen

Vulkan lies in state beneath the Fortress of Hera, and yet many of his sons still refuse to believe that he is truly dead.

After a seemingly miraculous rescue by the Ultramarines, Artellus Numeon, once captain of the Pyre Guard, urges the other Salamanders on Macragge to leave Imperium Secundus and return their primarch's body to the home world of Nocturne - there to be reborn in the flames of Mount Deathfire. But Numeon grapples endlessly with his doubts and fears for the future of the Legion while their foes seek to carve out new destinies of their own....

Vulkan

The Horus Heresy series is awesome! This book was neither the best or worst of the series but it was a good overall addition.

I have read 32+ books in the Horus heresy and this is by far one of the best.

Numeon is my favourite HH character…

…and this is his story.
So I’m very biased.
Saul Reichlin is also my favourite narrator. Such a warm voice.

Only for completionists.

I'm a salamanders player and while I had a good time listening to it I struggle to recall most of it and most of the book feels like marines arguing with each other on what to do next plus bolter porn. I think this is pretty skippable and you won't miss much by reading a synopsis

a slog at best

extreme struggle to finish. I don't know how but they managed to turn the first grey knight and death of a Primarch into an absolute slog. highly suggest skipping this one

Great story beats sullied by prose and narration

Great story beats, continuining some of my favourite arcs with John Grammaticus and Imperium Secundus. However, Nick Kyme's entries have been a much lower quality than those of Dan Abnett and Guy Haley's entries in the IS storyline, and Saul Reichlin's narration is very lacklustre compared to the likes of Jonathan Keeble and John Banks
