Publisher's summary

As the Emperor marshals his armies to reclaim the galaxy for the glory of mankind, one by one his Space Marine Legions are reunited with their missing primarchs. The XVIII Legion are still waiting to find their true identity, unaware their own lord has been found. In the Taras Division, legionaries face annihilation as they take a last, desperate stand against a monstrous ork invasion.

Meanwhile, on Nocturne, Vulkan has raised and trained a new force of warriors. Now it is the time for him to lead his sons into battle. Now it is the time for him to truly don the mantle of primarch, not only to save one half of his Legion but to forge a new, indivisible whole.

Good book with great narration!

Jonathan Keeble does this book a wonder by narrating voices with different accents, he presents each character with depth and feeling as if we were in the story ourselves.

The story itself seems a tad bit lacking in background and depth, but for its length is a great feature packed with action to add more flavor to the deserving salamanders legion.

Love the Salamanders

I love the Salamanders, I love how GW has made such a lovable contradiction like the XVIII legion, horrifying to the average citizen until you see them laying their lives on the line to keep you safe. This... origin story, for want of a better term, was everything I expected it to be.

A Love Letter To Vulkan

I've never been a huge Salamanders fan personally. But always loved their humanity and determination! This just kept that train going. Loved it.

Great, but overly direct.

I loved the book as I love Vulkan and the 18th, it just reiterates the same points a lot.
