Born of Flame

The Horus Heresy, Book 50

By: Nick Kyme

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble, Saul Reichlin

Born of the fiery world of Nocturne, the Salamanders believe in self-sacrifice and the sanctity of human life.

Their father, Vulkan, was raised on this world, a blacksmith's son from humble origins who became a primarch of the Emperor of Mankind and forged his sons into a Legion. Their saga is one of heroism, betrayal, tragedy and rebirth. They have returned from the edge of extinction more than once, forever embattled, never bowed, the Legion and their primarch the epitome of defiance in the face of adversity. Unto the anvil, born of flame.

A great compilation

the characters are well written and the performance was excellent. over all I was captivated the whole way through.

3.5

soldiers voices all sound the same, was hard at times and while i like the voices its confusing after a time

Vulcan lives... again and again and again and again

if you were ever looking for the king of skippable HH books, you found it
in case you didn't know, the book will tell you 500 times, and that's all it will tell you - Vulcan lives

Some recycled material

I’m not a fan of recycling old stories. While I can understand that it was done in order to set the tone for the final piece, I feel like it was a missed opportunity to explore new perspectives within that older material.

excellence

best salamanders story yet, really dwells deep into the story line. I highly recommend listening to this story.
