This audionovel aroused my interest in some the other space marine chapters. An issue is that some chapters did not do a good job explain what chapter the space marines are from

The human emotion these space marine experience in the beginning and at the end of life

This collection of stories served as my first foray into Warhammer 40K literature, and I must say I'm quite impressed. Every story was great in its own way, every actor performed fantastically (Toby Longworth in particular was great, that man's voice and acting chops were perfect for the stories he narrated), and the sound effects and music were generally on point. These stories are a great place to start for people new to 40K or those who have only played the tabletop game. The descriptions are on point, the sound effects, music, and narration all come together to create a dark, gritty, and beautiful immersive experience, and most characters are written in a way that makes you love to hate them. Indeed, it would seem that in the 41st millennium there are no good guys, just guys and girls who are slightly less arrogant than the fellow around the previous corner. In the 41st millennium people are still flawed. Still broken.

With that being said, I do have a minor point of criticism. Around half of the stories suffered from a certain degree of sameness: Space Marines arrive to deal with a threat, they learn their mission isn't quite what it seems to be, the Space Marines face their foes and begin falling one by one, a solitary Marine survives and completes the mission...with some kind of twist. While normally that might be a big problem (you are paying for multiple stories and a decent amount are samey after all), here...it really isn't. That is to say it fits the overall tone of the universe, the gritty grimdarkness of the 41st millennium. Everything that is accomplished is accomplished at a price, even the mighty Space Marines who often look down on the humans they protect as "mere mortals" are not superheroes who get hit by a death ray and just stand up because they're the "good" guys, the happiest ending is the death of a wounded war vet preserved in a glorified mechanized casket.

The formula also proved itself to be particularly effective in one of my favorite stories in the set: "The Madness Within". The twist at the end, a man's denial of truth and willingness to cast aside growth in favor of believing a comforting lie was especially poignant. The willingness to delude oneself to feel safe, to feel right, to feel comfortable is something I like to think we've all experienced ourselves or witnessed in others. For a brief moment the light is seen, but then we turn away from it because maybe it's just a little too bright, a little too painful.

Then there's "The Glorious Tomb". The story is a masterpiece, and the performance just sells it. It starts at a fevered pace that will have your mind racing just as much as the dreadnought the story focuses on during his boot up sequence, and gradually slows to a somber, yet happy ending. An ending more sweet than bitter, where we're given a glimpse into the mind of a man who likely once looked down on normal humans as little more than something he was tasked to protect, but now understands his own mortality. We witness an Adeptus Astartes humbled, but nevertheless optimistic of humanity's ability to survive in a galaxy full of danger.

This collection of stories gets a strong recommend from me.

A bit of the same isn't always a bad thing

Highly recommend this to anyone fan or not of this universe. Heart of rage was probably my favorite story. But they were all superb.

As a new 40k fan this was incredible

I've always loved the voice work of Toby Longworth and he totally shines in this collection, especially in "Glorious Tomb".

Outstanding!

the stories was taken to a new level. I especially loved the dreadnought story from the point of view of the its toomb.

Good acting and awsome soundeffects!

... and that's the only bad thing I can say about this collection. Toby Longworth narrating most of the stories makes this collection worth it by itself. the first person perspective on a couple of other stories provides just enough variety to keep everything fresh and engaging. The disparate stories from all across the Imperium do a good job of showing just how expansive the Imperium of man actually is. There are truly opportunities for countless different kinds of stories from the age of man in the 41st millennium.

The typo in the title bothers me...

this was pretty fun to listen to and never boring. But some of the stories were very meh. but I would still recommend for a painting background book or if your working and not able to put your full attention to the book.

Amazing performance...the stories tho..

A welcoming look into a more human side of the Emperors finest warriors. Defiantly a worthy choice for any 40K fan.

40K never disappoints!
