About this listen

The planet of Caliban exists much as it has for thousands of years - the knightly orders protect the common people, fighting back the beasts that lurk in the depths of the seemingly endless forests.

Young Zahariel and Nemiel aspire to join the greatest of the orders, led by the example of mighty Lion El'Jonson and his vision of a peaceful and unified world. But the coming of the Imperium brings new concerns and a new destiny for the Lion as part of the Great Crusade, and the sons of Caliban must decide if they will follow him to glory among the stars.

A change of pace

if you have come straight from Fulgrim i'd recomond skiping it and coming back to it later if take things back quite a bit and if you still high on the momentum of the previous books i'd recommend going to legion or mechanicum and come to this one at a later date

Don't skip it!

I almost skipped this book in the HH series based on other reviews but don't.

it's not tied integrally to the HH plot where Fulfrim left off, but it's a great book and sets up the Dark Angels really well for their next appearance (from someone who know nothing about them)

Nice intermission to the series

Not the grandest of stories but shouldn’t be skipped. Excellent intermission to the HH series.

Witcher in 30k

Great listen, narrator does a fantastic job and brings life to characters. Story was fantastic. Just keep in mind it’s not connected to the other books but backtracks and has a nice little chapter dedicated to age of technology and old night.

This is a great instalment for the HH series

While some people may believe that it is unrelated to the Horus Heresy series, it has a lot of foreshadowing that really helps later down the track with some questions that come up. Not just that, but the incredible quality of the story itself warrants it as a great addition to the Black Library collection.

Thrilling from start to finish

The Lions presence feels just as awe inspiring for the reader as it is for the characters in the story.
a perfect change of pace for the loyalists side of the story.
