Publisher Description
A Warhammer 40,000 Novel
For too long the Emperor’s Children have been denied their birthright. Their once-glorious Legion has been fractured into disparate warbands, condemned to ravage world after futile world in the pursuit of ambition and excess. But no longer.
READ IT BECAUSE
Fulgrim has a simple job for his sons, but what happens when it turns out to be far more complicated than it seems? Dive into the fractious nature of the Emperor's Children when things aren't quite going their way – rife with arrogance, internecine conflict, and divergent viewpoints.
THE STORY
Lord Fulgrim – ascended Primarch of the III Legion, the Perfect Son, the Emperor-in-Waiting – has issued a challenge to his scattered warriors: vanquish the Imperial world of Crucible, and bring him the head of the Black Templar charged with its defence.
But Fulgrim’s plans go far beyond the conquest of a single planet, and what should have been a swift and bloody offensive turns into a gruelling siege. With success uncertain, a world in flames around them, and the Legion turning their weapons inwards as well as out, the would-be champions are forced to confront a bitter truth. What must they sacrifice for victory and the favour of their Primarch, and what will be left of them when the war is over?
Written by Jude Reid.
Customer Reviews
Huge disappointment
Misleading title and below-average writing.
Small things: This book has cheesy dialogue between the EC and the Templars, and the it occasionally breaks immersion…there is little humour and really skip-able subplots.
Larger problems: The characters are just boring and (outside of the Black Templars) poorly motivated. Fulgrim is barely present, the things he says are cartoon-villainy but without the fun-factor) and there is nothing beyond the meme-y Fulgrim stuff you see on Reddit. Very poor novel, wouldn’t suggest anyone read it…especially if you’re a fan of the EC. The main EC character is a super-dud who just fails so hard, for reasons that you will guess from the beginning. Hard pass…
