Angron: Slave of Nuceria

Primarchs: The Horus Heresy, Book 11

By: Ian St Martin

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

A Primarchs novel

The Twelfth Primarch has been found! United with the War Hounds - now renamed the World Eaters - the gladiator Angron gives his sons an ultimatum that will change their very nature, and their destiny.

Listen to it because:

You've seen the immediate aftermath of Angron's recruitment into the Imperium in the short story 'After Desh'ea' - now Ian St. Martin brings us the details of what happened next, and the World Eaters' adoption of the Butcher's Nails.

The story:

As the Emperor travels the galaxy at the head of his Great Crusade, few events are as important as rediscovering his scattered sons, the Primarchs, and bestowing them as the masters of their Legions. United, a Legion becomes a reflection of its Primarch, both in his strengths and his flaws. For the Twelfth Legion, once the War Hounds and now the World Eaters, the line between strength and flaw is almost impossible to separate. Placed in command of a Legion he does not want, in service to a father he cannot forgive, Angron gives an ultimatum to his children, one that will set them down a path that they can never return from. So desperate for his acknowledgment, will the World Eaters follow their father and cast themselves in his broken image, or will they resist? And will any of them ever learn who their father was truly meant to be?

Written by Ian St. Martin. Performed by Jonathan Keeble.

Great

Sheds a lot of insight about the legion and it's primarch. The cast of characters are great, and the voice acting is superb

The Story of the World Eaters

A friend of mine told me about the book so I already knew what happened, but it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. It really has a lot of character to the world eaters. Not quite a must read for the Heresy like Horus Rising or Master of Mankind but it’s definitely worth a read.

exceptional

just a spectacular take on Angron and the world eaters. as good a primarch book as there has been.

Great story, could use a bit more Angron though...

Narrators portrayal of Angron is 10/10, I loved every chapter he was in. That being said I felt this book is more about the 12th legions transformation and inner conflict rather than Angron himself. I expected more of an origin story but theres only a few chapters that peer into Angrons past, but that's my only complaint the story as a whole is entertaining and totaly worth the read/listen.

A Bloodstained Struggle

Against the backdrop of a Great Crusade conquest of a resistant world, the World Eaters suffer a crisis of identity, and must decide if they will follow their Primarch or cling onto their old identity as War Hounds. Compelling characters bring each camp to life as they struggle for control of the legion's destiny. The story winds down to a bloody conclusion that was among the best in the Primarch books, as well as exploring Angron's past and his insight into the Imperial folly.
