Resumen del Editor

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.

excellence

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

3.5

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

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.

A great compilation

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

unnecessary storyline

not even the great Johnathan Keeble could make this book worth listening to. After 20 painfully dull chapters of Saul Reichlin's nauseating voice and unenthusiastic tone, I heard the voice of Johnathan Keeble. I thought maybe there is hope after all. I was wrong. Although, Keeble does an amazing job narrating this compilation of tales. You can skip this book entirely and not miss a thing. this a fever dream memory of events that have already been covered in other books. it's just fluff and filler.

Great!

I thought that the ending was perfect! Don't skip this one and remember Vulkan lives!

It’s not the Best

It’s a good compilation of stories but nothing great in it. Sadly. They are just random

Narrator makes the difference

I think this book in the series is a shining example of how the narrator for these audiobooks makes all the difference in how engaging the story is. Nothing against Saul Reichlin, but the first couple stories where he narrated could have been so good, but the lack of inflection between characters and his narration mode made it a bit of a slog. But once Jonathan Keeble picked up the reins, it was a completely different book. He brings such life to the characters even when the stories are not as action packed. And I'm very happy that I listened to it all the way through.

Possibly the least compelling book in the series.

A series of unfortunate events which feel completely inconsequential. Focuses on two of the most boring legions (Salamanders and Iron Hands). By the time you hear your 50th "VULCAN LIVES!" you will be wishing you didn't.

That ending…

I liked that we got to see more of the Iron Hands in action. Arum Gallicus’s storyline may not have ended like I would’ve wanted it, but it’s better than the character simply being forgotten. I also quite liked the ending of Sons of the Forge, and how it cuts to the 41st millenium. I wish more books would do something similar.
