A Horus Heresy character novel.
Constantin Valdor is the chief of the Emperor's Custodian Guard and is among the closest of His companions. As the wars of Unity come to their end, Constantin faces his greatest challenge, as dark deeds are required to pave Mankind's road to the stars.
Listen to It Because:
Delve into the era of the Unification Wars and discover Constantin Valdor's role in bringing about the Imperium of Mankind in an unmissable novel by Chris Wraight!
The Story:
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. The petty warlords and tyrants of Old Earth have been all but vanquished, and the Emperor’s armies are triumphant. What now for the nascent Imperium and what fate for its forgotten soldiers, its Thunder Warriors and armies of Unity? A new force is rising, one which shall eclipse all others and open the way to the stars. But change on Terra is seldom bloodless, and for progress to be ensured darker deeds are necessary.
Written by Chris Wraight. Narrated by Steven Pacey, Jonathon Keeble, Katy Maw and Toby Longworth.

Just okay

The writing has a great musicality to it without going flash, the plotting is focused without being single-minded, the story is freestanding but consequential.
I'd say it's a must-read for anyone who touches the Horus Heresy novels.
Pitch-Perfect, Foundationally Strong.

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.
Fills in some blanks about the Unification era
