About this listen
A Uriel Ventris novel.
Uriel Ventris returns! Newly ascended to the ranks of the Primaris Space Marines, Ventris leads the Ultramarines Fourth Company - the famed Swords of Calth - to war against the ancient necrons. Old enemies arise, as Ventris' past and present collide in brutal battle.
Listen to it because
One of Black Library's longest-running series continues - and the hero's been given a new lease of life as a Primaris Space Marine. Discover how Ventris adapts to his new life even as his past comes back to haunt him.
The story
Uriel Ventris, newly ascended to the ranks of the Primaris, leads warriors of the Fourth Company from the Indomitus Crusade of Roboute Guilliman to a world on the frontiers of Ultramar. Once a battleground against the orks, Sycorax is now under furious assault from an enemy of ancient times - the necrons. The Ultramarines have faced these baleful xenos before, but Uriel senses the hand of a foe from his past at work on Sycorax, a tally unfinished and a debt to the Imperium finally come due.
Trapped deep in a devastated city, Uriel leads the Swords of Calth into battle, and must adapt to his new incarnation as one of the Primaris - a challenge that will test his soul as much as it will test him as a warrior.
Written by Graham McNeill. Narrated by Bruce MacKinnon.

After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Of all the Emperor’s sons who fell to Chaos, it is perhaps Magnus the Red whose tale is the most tragic. Sanctioned because of his desire for knowledge, chastised, judged, and shattered to his very elements – there is much for the Crimson King to feel vengeful for. Yet revenge is not the only thing that draws him to Terra alongside the Warmaster’s besieging armies. He seeks something, a fragment, the missing piece of himself that lies within the most impregnable place on the planet – the inner sanctum of the Imperial Palace.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 155
In the jungles of Aztlan a deadly war of the shadows is being fought. And the Imperial Guard are losing. The alien t’au, though few in number, greatly outclass the soldiers of the Imperium and are taking a serious toll on their forces. A call for aid is answered by the fearsome Mortifactors Chapter, who come to the world full of grim purpose. Adoni, an unblooded neophyte yet to earn his place, is amongst the war party. As the Mortifactors descend into the jungle vastness, they hunt for a killer, one that will not die easily but that whom Adoni must slay if he is to become part of the Chapter and a Taker of Heads.

Wonderful time skip for Uriel and crew!
This is years after the original Ventris series and it’s good to hear about the Swords of Calth again. Fun battle scenes and creepy foes keep this book interesting along with the brotherhood of the Ultramarines. Only downside is I felt like it was a bit too short. Hope we get more Ventris and Swords of Calth stories in the future.

solidly good book, just not outstanding
4th Company Ultramarines, Captain Uriel Ventris, definately NOT a Mary Sue.
The story reflects author Graham McNeill's eye for detail and sense for the grim darkness of the 41st millennium.
The story was genuine, natural and unforced. EVERYTHING McNeill writes is canon-worthy, a rare trait among authors.
This story dovetails perfectly with the roll-out of the Ventris model, even providing explanation for details on the model.
Why not a 5 star review? Pacing, some of the "why" of the story was a bit vague, too many characters to be properly developed, but those are fairly minor issues.
Overall, a solid fouble for Graham McNeill and a flawless narration.

Graham McNeil nails it again
Bruce MacKinnon narrating makes you feel you’re there witnessing the story as it unfolds, again can’t say enough about McNeil’s work.

Embarrassing
This guy wrote some of the gest Horus Heresy Novels, so how could he be responsible for this. I found it hard to enjoy any if the characters. which is shocking because you've known them for so long if you read previous Ventris books. and the ending "duel" qas one if the worst things I have ever listened to. beyond terrible. Tellion was cool thougg
