Audiobook 9 in the Dawn of Fire Series

The first phase of the Indomitus Crusade is drawing to a close. Vast swathes of Imperium Sanctus are back under tentative Imperial control. Still the primarch Roboute Guilliman faces wars on every front. His desire to cross the Great Rift to save Imperium Nihilus remains strong, even as news of renewed assaults on Ultramar draw his attention home.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
The Dawn of Fire series reaches its epic conclusion! How will Roboute Guilliman deal with an ancient xenos threat? Was the Indomitus Crusade doomed from the very start, and can an already split Imperium survive?

THE STORY
The Avenging Son must delay his return home and head to the galactic south, taking a large part of the crusade with him, for the menace of the necrons is gathering strength. Battlefleet Kallides, despatched into the dangerous null space of the Pariah Nexus some years before, is feared lost. A greater unity is being forged between the necron dynasties, and with it come whispers of a power from the ancient past returned to rule them all… Whispers of the Silent King.

Now that I’ve seen the final payoff I really can’t recommend the series. The characters met along several books weren’t here. The scholars theme is lost and forgotten. But this book is OK as a standalone…

The only book worth reading in the whole series I guess

Just slam this series. I’m a Blue Boy fanboy, but even so damn this was great.

The building of characters, the satisfactory open ended storylines leaving characters open for later expansion. It’s amazing
