About this listen

The Great Crusade has swept across half the galaxy, a million human worlds now embracing the truth and reason that comes with allegiance to the rule of Terra. But even such unparalleled success comes at a cost.

Rumours abound that the Emperor plans to step back from the Crusade and raise one of his primarch sons to lead in his stead. Faced with the bitterly noncompliant human empire of Gardinaal and a leaderless host of Ultramarines, Thousand Sons and Emperor’s Children at his Legion’s command, the Iron Hands primarch Ferrus Manus decides to make an example that even the Emperor cannot ignore.

Several of the characters in this book could go on to have their own books. Awesome work!

One of the best of the primarch series

One of the better Primarch stories it's easy to see how the Sons that did turn traitor slid onto that track. The Great crusade was horrific.

good window into the 30th millennium.

Seems like Ferrus got the Boba Fett treatment and became a side character in his own story. The story was fairly good on its own— suitable for a story set during the Great Crusade, but a story fit for the Primarch Series? No.

Also such a shame that a planet with a cool name like “Gardinaal” would only ever be featured in this one off story— a name like that should have a whole guardsman regiment for the tabletop.

As usual, Jonny K never disappoints with his tremendous vocal chops.

It deserves better

Ferrus Manus is a side character in his own book😂? It's a good story don't get me wrong. Its just it has little to do with Ferrus Manus. It does have some Lore worthy content nonetheless.

Title is misleading 🤦🏿‍♂️

The story was great but it didn't follow the same vein as the other Primarch series books I have read so far. They all have made me like the Primarch and Legion they featured more or at least increased my interest but this one lowered my opinion of both Ferrus and his legion and I can't honestly say I had a high opinion of them before this story. They have ridiculously high opinion of themselves yet get owned constantly by everything they fight. It doesn't really hurt the story line but it also didn't make me wish Ferrus was still alive either. Makes perfect sense what happened to him after hearing the way they act and what happens with them in this book.

Excellent Story

And you have a decent space marine battle set in 30k. Manus himself is prominent, however there is no ‘story’ here since the intro and conclusion punchlines are the same.

Just remove Manus from the story

The other books in this series give a solid look into the history that shaped a Primarch. This does not. It was a solid Iron Hands story but a poor Ferrus Manus story.

Not as good as the other Primarch books

was good. probably wouldn't listen more than once. there was alot going on near the end.

ferrus manus is a di*k head

It was hard for me to get over the use of thunder warriors. I always read that they were culled after unification. The book was good once I got around that. Really enjoyed how Ferrus Manus was portrayed.

Worth listening to

bit of a struggle to be honest. Maybe I was spoiled with the Star wars books but the narrator for this book was not good. He had no emotion and every characters voice sounded almost the exact same with the exact same emotional tone nomatter what was happening. Made it pretty hard to follow conversations.

The story itself wasn't too bad. But for a book named Ferrus Manis, you'd think there'd be a lot more of him and the story actually be focused on him.

Barely any Ferrus & Narrator wasn't very good
