The Lion: Son of the Forest

Warhammer 40,000

By: Mike Brooks

Narrated by: Timothy Watson

The Lion. Son of the Emperor, brother of demigods and Primarch of the Dark Angels. Awakened. Returned. And yet...lost.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Witness the Emperor’s First Son make his dramatic return to the 41st Millennium! Much has changed since he last walked among the stars, but not Lion El’Jonson’s drive to protect humanity from the threats that assail it from all sides.

THE STORY

After ten thousand years of dreaming, locked in stasis at the heart of his shattered home world, Lion El'Jonson wakes to the nightmare of Imperium Nihilus.

In this midnight age, the dying embers of humanity are threatened on all sides by the hungry darkness. Alone, even the Lion has no hope of prevailing against such evil – but there are those who would aid him in his quest. Hunted to the edge of endurance, many among his Fallen knights have long-awaited the day their liege would return to redeem them. The Lord of Shadowed Paths must gather these lost loyalists to his side once more, and stride forth to vanquish a traitorous son and the twisted Chaos warband that calls him master.

Faced with these strange times, the Lion can be certain of nothing and no one, except for himself. But in a galaxy without the Emperor, without the Imperium, without his Legion, and without Caliban…who is he?

This Book is Amazing

The writing, pace, and narration of this book are all top tier. Fourteen Fifteen

the lion returns!

I enjoyed this book, was not what I was expecting for the return of a primarch but seeing a humble simple approach to his return was better than what I expected

Some of the best 40k in a while

I’d usually say I steer towards being a Space Wolves fan overall but this made me a big fan of the Dark Angels, really hope this ends up being a series! Lion El Johnson is such a great character

Great Novel

Who said a Primarch can not learn and be humble for the exception of Vulkan.

Awesome

A good book I know I sound like a bot but I only recently got into Warhammer and I love it but seeing the return of the first the Primarch fresh learn from his mistakes determined to prevent it from happing again and evermore ready to fight against chaos.
