Constantin Valdor. It is a name that brings forth images of heroism, honour and peerless duty. For it is he who commands the will of the Legio Custodes that most esteemed and dedicated cadre of elite warriors. He is the Emperor’s sword, His shield, His banner and he knows no equal. Clad in shining auramite, his fist clenched around the haft of his Guardian Spear, he is the bulwark against all enemies of the throne, within or without. Nearing the end of the wars of Unity, Valdor’s courage and purpose is put to the test as never before.

Fills in some blanks about the Unification era
Reviewed: 01-07-24
This book provides some valuable insight into the time of the Unification of Terra, Amar Astarte, & the Proto-Astartes, as well as, hence the title, the Custodes.
Jonathan Keeble is the voice of the Heresy, that is undisputed & over a short time has grown to fill the role very well, but a change can be refreshing occasionally. Stephen Pacey moves the story along well, but lacks the enthusiasm of Jonathan Keeble. All in all the Narrator did pretty well, spoke at a decent pace, there was inflection in his tone, & it was very easy to understand him throughout the Story.
The Story itself is very good. Like all Stories there is filler, but it is kept at a minimum while still making every “Scene” & conversation engaging enough to prevent an involuntary nap. Also the Story ties in well with what little Lore there is on all things concerned.

The Warmaster’s horde advances through the fire and ash of Terra's dying breaths, forcing the loyalists back to the Delphic Battlement—the very walls of the Sanctum Imperialis. Angron, Primarch of the World Eaters and Herald of Horus, has achieved immortality through annihilation—now he leads the armies of the damned in a wrathful tide, destroying all before them as the warp begins its poisonous corruption of Terra's very soil.

Possibly the most engaging Book of the entire series so far
Reviewed: 10-04-23
This Book was written & performed so well that it was almost effortless to visualize every chapter. It engaged me moreso even than Graham Mcneills rendition of Fulgrims Legion & maybe even Dan Abnetts of the Alpha Legion
