The Horus Heresy Primarchs

By: John French, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, Nick Kyme, Gav Thorpe, Guy Haley, L J Goulding, Graham McNeill, Dan Abnett

Narrated by: Christopher Tester

A Primarchs Anthology

The primarchs, nigh-immortal sons of the Emperor of Mankind, take the stage in a series of short stories showcasing some of their great deeds and hideous acts from across the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Whether you see them as heroes, villains, or victims of the Emperor's machinations, these tales will give you a different perspective on a host of primarchs – including Angron, Vulkan, Magnus the Red, and Horus himself.

DESCRIPTION

From their shadowed origins to the desperate battles that ensued when half of their number rebelled against their father, the sons of the Emperor – the vaunted primarchs – were among the mightiest champions of the nascent Imperium, warriors without peer, and heroes whose actions became legend. Whether you seek the angel Sanguinius, who confronted the dark nature of his bloodthirsty Legion, or mighty Vulkan, whose connection to humanity set him apart amongst his brothers, or dour Perturabo, architect, inventor and murderous warlord, or even Horus Lupercal, whose shining light was eclipsed only by the darkness that grew within his soul – this anthology covers eight of the primarchs and their greatest, darkest deeds.

amazing narrator

amazing story but what really draws you in is this narrator I hope they keep using him I'll listen just for that reason 10/10

Better than 1/2 the Primarch Novels

It’s wild that half these short stories are better and more thought out than half the stand alone Primarch Novels.

love it

Christopher Tester is a gem and the stories in this anthology are so well regarded for a reason.

Great collection

Great collection of stories, some of the best, and full in many gaps and side stories. Of course most are the typical Black Library bait and switch, they are only tangentially about the Primarchs and are told from the viewpoints of others for the most part

Amazing Performance

Christopher Yester once again has proven that he is right at home with Black Library and I hope to hear even more books narrated by him.
