About this listen

A Primarchs Anthology

The primarchs, nigh-immortal sons of the Emperor of Mankind, take the stage in a series of short stories showcasing some of their great deeds and hideous acts from across the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Whether you see them as heroes, villains, or victims of the Emperor's machinations, these tales will give you a different perspective on a host of primarchs – including Angron, Vulkan, Magnus the Red, and Horus himself.

DESCRIPTION

From their shadowed origins to the desperate battles that ensued when half of their number rebelled against their father, the sons of the Emperor – the vaunted primarchs – were among the mightiest champions of the nascent Imperium, warriors without peer, and heroes whose actions became legend. Whether you seek the angel Sanguinius, who confronted the dark nature of his bloodthirsty Legion, or mighty Vulkan, whose connection to humanity set him apart amongst his brothers, or dour Perturabo, architect, inventor and murderous warlord, or even Horus Lupercal, whose shining light was eclipsed only by the darkness that grew within his soul – this anthology covers eight of the primarchs and their greatest, darkest deeds.

It’s wild that half these short stories are better and more thought out than half the stand alone Primarch Novels.

Better than 1/2 the Primarch Novels

such great stories. To much to fully disclose. All I can say is you need to listen to understand. Chris tester's performance was beautiful as always.

Beautiful insights into the primarchs minds and the lives they lived.

Good tales of the Primarchs, narrator is not one of the typical black library narrators and that was a welcome addition.

Great Primarchs!

Absolutely thrilled Chris Tester is voice acting for Black Library. More 40k narrations from this guy, please.

fantastic voice acting, great 30k/40k lore pieces

this collection is likely most well known for the popular short story, The Ancient Awaits, but I wouldn't advise anyone skip any other story to get there. There are no duds here. All stories contain a satisfying peek into the mind, makings, or methods of a primarch.

solid collection of stories

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Christopher Yester once again has proven that he is right at home with Black Library and I hope to hear even more books narrated by him.

Amazing Performance
