About this listen

A Primarchs Anthology

Explore the histories and motivations of the primarchs across six short stories that will take you to the depths of the Cthonian Utterdark, the wilds of Fenris in winter, and even to the holy soil of Terra itself.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Get new insights into several of the primarchs in tales set across the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.

DESCRIPTION

A weak Cthonian boy forges a bloody destiny among the stars. Tribal warriors hunt a beast in the Fenrisian snows. Prosperine sorcerers seek hidden secrets. The Emperor's Praetorian shows his ruthless side. Alpharius submits to questioning over a brutal campaign, and Mortarion returns to Terra for the first time since his ascension to daemonhood.

Each of these six tales provides you with a new look at one of the primarchs, the demigod sons of the Emperor. Once brothers-in-arms, these legendary heroes fell into war and strife, loyalist and traitor. But each remains a mighty lord of warriors and leader of men, and each has tales to tell…

More from this Narrator!

Some solid short stories with some interesting views of the primarchs, but the narrator was fantastic. Hopefully we see more black library stuff from him.

Some amazing, Some okay

The mortarion and alpharius stories were incredible! Others were good and few, like the Rogal Dorn one were a little bit let downs…

Good

Christopher Tester is a future legendary voice. All the characters have their own voice. Everything has its own tone. Even the weaker stories gain a stronger feel because of this. A good buy.

MY NAME IS HORUS

I gave thos 5 stars purely for the Horis short story. it is incredible and gripped me from the very beginning. I hope when we get Horus's primarch novel we learn more of his time in Cthonia.
