Publisher's summary

An Alpha Legion Audiobook

On a world that is home to a unique artefact, bands of Chaos Space Marines battle for the right to claim it. But the arrival of the infamous Khârn the Betrayer changes the balance of power…

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The forces of Chaos fight amongst themselves, with the Blood God's chosen warrior slap bang in the middle. It’s probably not going to end well for anyone whose name isn't Khârn…

THE STORY

Upon the oceanic hive world of Tsadrekha, the darkness of the Noctis Aeterna is held at bay by the golden light of a unique beacon. Yet, as sharks are drawn to blood, so the ravening warbands of the Heretic Astartes circle the planet, warring to claim this rich prize for their Dark Gods. Now, one of those warlords has deployed a secret weapon to end the deadlock.

Kassar and his elite band of Alpha Legionaries, the Unsung, must infiltrate the planet, using all their cunning and warrior skills to overcome the planet's defenders and corrupt the beacon. They need to work fast, for none other than Khârn the Betrayer himself has come to lead the final assault. As a rising tide of apocalyptic warfare consumes Tsadrekha, Kassar and his brothers must race for the prize or be consumed by the fury of the storm.

Decent Story, Terrible Narrator

Narrator made it difficult to listen to. Every Astartes sounded like a mustache twirling magician. I don't think he knows 40k lore too well with how he was pronouncing things. Story was good. Alpha Legion was cool. It was nice seeing how the different legions interacted with eachother.

Another excellent black libary book

This book delivers a captivating story, mostly from the traitor perspective. Recommended for all warhammer 40K fans.

The personality of the Alpha legion is well represented. The story is solid and interesting.

This book had a very good story that came to a good conclusion while leaving enough open for the Reader’s imagination. The Alpha legion is well represented appearing as less corrupted than other traitors but not totally unaffected with slight mutations that give personality to the apparently uniform Alpha legionaries. Definitely give this a read if you like Alpha legion or just good 40k books.

MORE!!!!!!

Andy Clark knocked this out of the park! Andrew Wincott as always top notch performance.
The book really has it all. I hope we can get follow up books with these characters and their journey to whatever fate falls upon them.

Great portrayal of what makes the Alpha Legion awesome!

I enjoyed that this was more like a spy thriller than a war story, making it a great change to the normal 40K flavor.

Knowledge is power. Gather all that you can.

If you fancy a book filled with great inter-unit dialogue, inventive and hugely entertaining set pieces, badass Space Marines pulling crazy stunts while trying to figure out what a Primaris Marine is, and generally just over the top escapism…this should do the trick.

Love this Legion

I’m a huge Alpha Legion fan and this has been, by far, my most favorite story that focused on them. I do hope we get more from the Unsung.

The conflict between the Unsung about being tainted by chaos as a gift or reject it as the corruption it is.

Great story, great battles, made me appreciate the Alpha Legion and Imperial Fist, love this group of Unsung and their inner strifes, hope to have a continuation of their stories and maybe meet and interact with their primarch when he eventually returns.
