About this listen

Dawn of Fire Book 6

The zealous Black Templars and the Order of Our Martyred Lady hold a shrine world against the Death Guard – a guttering light in the darkness.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Marc Collins shows us how desperate the fight can get in the swirl of the Indomitus Crusade. Every world defended is worthy of celebration, no matter the cost.

THE STORY

The Indomitus Crusade burns across the stars, while new threats emerge to challenge the Imperium's resurgence.

As the Kingdom of Iron is secured and the Primarch Reborn's thoughts turn to future salients, the Arch-enemy strikes back against the Indomitus Crusade's forces. The shrine worlds of the Golden Chain are all but broken, and only Velua remains defiant. Canoness Irinya of the Order of Our Martyred Lady and Champion Gaheris of the Black Templars hold the line, fighting against the plague-ridden cultists reducing the planet to anarchy.

While the war rages on and the true enemy makes itself known, the fate of Velua and the wider crusade may rest upon the shoulders of another of the Imperial Regent's agents: the disgraced Rogue Trader Katla Helvintr. Heroes rise and worlds fall, and only the light of faith will guide the warriors of the Imperium to their destiny.

Written by Marc Collins. Written by Marc Collins. Read by John Banks. Running time is 14 hours and 11 minutes (approx).

not missing out

I wouldn't recommend it. if you've read any book that includes sister of battle and or Black Templars it's probably at least this good.

I had really high hopes for this series but honestly so far it's been more misses than hits in my opinion. The narration was as good as ever.

A disappointment. Bland and lazy

while the narrator did his best to articulate the story in an entertaining manner, the actual story and plot itself was nothing short of a joke. these novel sitting to be getting lazier and lazier with the struggle between the imperium and chaos.

the ending of every battle it is predictable at a disappointment. each character seems to wait for the divine intervention needed to progress the story.

wish I could get my 14 hours back

Custodes and Sisters of Battle

I felt like this was a really strong book, well written and the characters were far more engaging than book 5. I cared about Augustus, Cartler and Ynnari.

Enjoyed it far more than I was expecting to

Natation as always is superb. In regards to the story, I’ve found this series a little challenging to get into each book. This one, however, took me in straight away. It was compelling and engaging and I thoroughly enjoyed it

It's another 40k book alright

A bland and forgettable addition to the series, with no real consequences for any future books.

Give this one a miss.

Not Brilliant

If you like long drawn out descriptions of the thoughts of Plague marines and Templars than you may enjoy it. The overall plot for the Dawn of Fire advances slightly but otherwise it spends too much time describing inane scenes rather than moving with purpose. It was a chore getting to the end.
