About this listen

The Cadian Gate is broken, and the Imperium is riven in two. The might of the Traitor Legions, kept shackled for millennia behind walls of iron and sorcery, has been unleashed on a darkening galaxy. Among those seeking vengeance on the Corpse Emperor’s faltering realm are the Death Guard, once proud crusaders of the Legiones Astartes, now debased creatures of terror and contagion.

Mighty warbands carve bloody paths through the void, answering their lord primarch’s call to war. And yet for all their dread might in arms, there is no escape from the vicious legacies of the past, ones that will pursue them from the ruined daemon-worlds of the Eye of Terror and out into the smouldering wastes of the Imperium Nihilus.

A gift from Nurgle.

Best description of a ship under affects of chaos imo. I just love anything about the Death Guard tho. Ignore my 5 star rating.

Making the Bad Guys Good

I really enjoyed this book, the writer was on point with his descriptions of the fallen death guard and the narrator was on point with his voice acting and narration. It was actually humanizing and showed that maybe the good guys in the universe aren't as good and benevolent as we think they might be and maybe it is worth turning down a different path.

I would love to see this link up with the Dark Imperium trilogy of which I'm eagerly awaiting a re-release.

Deliciously macabre

Honestly loved seeing things from the death guards perspective. Super entertaining and macabre.. The infighting was intriguing and their musing upon their own decay was a highlight.

A must read for any deathguard fan

This book tells us so much about the deathguard, from life as a plague marine, to what the plague planet is actually like to how loyalists are turned to nurgle.

And it does this through an engaging story with genuinely interesting characters. The whole book follows the show don’t tell rule meaning we discover things through the story, not through exposition dumps. And while this does mean things can seem a little flat at the start it really keeps the flow going

I honestly can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking to learn more about the death guard.

Disjointed

A rather disjointed story that I had trouble following at times. Names seemed to close to each other and when given narration obscured what would have been easy to see in print. Nevertheless, it was an entertaining story.

Nurgle for life!!!

This is such an amazing book, really well written, and really brings to life a rarely seen aspect of the Death Guard.

Excellent Narration , Decent story

Excellent performance by the narrator he really does an excellent job bringing each character to life. The descriptions and concepts by the author of the death guard and corruption is quite good and very engaging at times. My only complaint is I feel the story could have had more action, however that said it is a worthwhile listen and a must for any Death Guard enthusiast!

a masterpiece

The book and its accompanying reader. I came away actually finding myself really liking the main character. He is... benevolent, while being exactly what he is supposed to be as a follower of nurgle. Great characters, amazing setting.
