Old Earth

The Horus Heresy, Book 47

By: Nick Kyme

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

Reborn in body and spirit beneath Mount Deathfire, the primarch Vulkan gathers his most trusted sons and prepares for the final part of his journey.

The Legions shattered at Isstvan V have stalled the Warmaster’s advance across the galaxy, but fresh cracks are spreading through the alliance between the Iron Hands, Salamanders and Raven Guard, along with mysterious rumours of the return of Ferrus Manus. Haunted by a sense of destiny unfulfilled, Vulkan must choose between joining their war of vengeance against the traitors and following his own barely understood path all the way to the Throneworld itself.

Vulcan Guardian Eternal

Wraps up a lot of stories and prepares for the great siege of Terra.

Vulkan's Bizzar Adventure

The book was amazing. I purchased it for the Iron Hands lore, but every character really hold your interest. Worth it for Iron Hands and Salamanders fans.

Great story and hard to stop listening!

Great book about Vulkin and our favorite perpetual John is in this! The story is so good and leads onto Tera right before the siege. Q

Awesome 👍

Finally got to enjoy this great book. So can I assume that if Vulcan would recover from the Emperor's Fail-Safe device that the notion extends to the emperor himself?

Flesh Out (No Pun Intended) Your Charaxters

The good:
- VULKAN LIVES!
- Little moments of brotherhood

The Bad:
- The Iron Hands

Overall, I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I would have liked a lot more about the Salamanders - they always get left a bit short in my opinion. Those who are included, though, get a wealth of beautiful pose slid their way. Some of the descriptions are mind blowing. There were points where I cried.

On the flip side, the Iron Hands feel very two dimensional. Maybe this is the point, but they were just irritating and if I re-read I will probably skip some of their chunks. To be frank, the Shattered Legions side of things felt a bit like tying up loose ends rather than telling a good story.

Keeble’s performance was, as always, amazing.
