About this listen

A Flesh Tearers Novel

Having secured Baal, the Flesh Tearers receive timely reinforcements from the Indomitus Crusade. In that moment of hope, however, they realise they've not heard from their now isolated homeworld of Cretacia in far too long...

Listen to it because...

The Flesh Tearers are Sanguinius' wrath writ in flesh and blood. Spared extinction thanks to reinforcements from the Indomitus Crusade, they are the vanguard of the Angelic Host, securing Baal and its neighbouring worlds for the Great Angels and the Imperium. Yet in fulfilling their oath to the Lord of the Blood, they have isolated themselves from their homeworld, Cretacia – and there has been no word from the garrison left to hold it.

The story:

Ordered by Gabriel Seth to secure Cretacia, Chaplain Dumah and Apothecary Barachial set course for the Flesh Tearers' homeworld. But when they finally lay eyes on it once more, will they find a garrison standing firm, or a desolate wasteland scoured by their enemies? The Space Marines must walk in the footsteps of their chapter's mythic founder, and along the way they will learn what it means to embrace the Wrath of the Lost – or die trying.

Felt more like a World Eaters story

performance I thought was really good, story was bit hit and miss as the other reviews imply.

Main characters come off as unlikable mindless idiots that made repeatedly stupid and frustrating decisions. I think the author was trying to show that the rage was affecting their strategic thinking... I dunno, I don't think it worked all that well.

repetitive wording used as well and I swear some of the characters had the same piece of armour more or less destroyed multiple times in the same battle.

Feels like the story needed a solid review and sent back to the author to patch up before being released - it could have been really good.

Repetitive soundbites, unlikable characters

Both main characters are fairly unlikable, and several key "phrases" are repeated ad nauseum which makes it feel like a huge amount of lazy filler content.
The story follows angsty Primaris marines with barely any contact with firstborn Fleshtearers, which creates a hollow, soulless effect.

The Flesh Tearers

The flesh tearers 4th company come across in this book as undisciplined vampires and no a spec of sense amongst them, I didn’t appreciate the story at all

Surprisingly emotional

The Flesh Tearers are the most viscious of Sanguinius’ loyal sons. They are chronically under strength due to The Rage and this book takes place after the deves Tati on of Baal where the Flesh Tearers have been reinforced by Primaris marines.

Initially the chapter master just took them to be ultramarines dressed as blood angels/flesh Tearers and the animosity between the firstborn and Primaris is depicted well.

There is a lot of story building in the first half of the book where we get to know the characters. What we have to remember is that the Flesh Tearers are the protagonists in this story, but they’re far from being “the good guys”. Don’t go into this book expecting a happy story. It’s a horror story as much as it is a tragedy.

Richard Reed does an amazing job as usual.
