Publisher Description
A Warhammer 40,000 novel.
The Emperor's Spears are a Chapter on the edge of destruction, last watchmen over the Elara's Veil nebula. Now, the decisions of one man, Amadeus Kaias Incarius of the Mentor Legion, will determine the Chapter's fate....
Listen to it because:
Aaron Dembski-Bowden has turned his attention to creating (and maybe destroying) a Space Marine Chapter in detail, and this is your chance to discover their fate.
The story:
The scattered worlds of the Elara's Veil nebula were once protected by the oath of unity sworn by three mighty Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. The Star Scorpions were undone by flaws in their genetic coding. The Celestial Lions were ravaged by the Inquisition for sins they did not commit. Now, after hundreds of years, only the Emperor's Spears still keep their vigil. They are barbarian watchmen against the Outer Dark, bloodied but unbroken in their long duty.
Amadeus Kaias Incarius, a brother of the Mentor Legion, is commanded to cross the Great Rift and assess the Spears' war-readiness, only to be drawn into the chaotic plight of a depleted crusade on the Imperium's benighted frontier. The decisions he makes, far from the God-Emperor's light, will decide the fate of the war-torn Chapter.
Written by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. Running time 11 hours and 46 minutes. Performed by Kelly Hotten.
Customer Reviews
Great Read
ADB really outdid himself in this one, one of my favorite portrayals of any single space marine.
Not happy with speaker
Do not use female voice actors for astartes books. Her dictation is too quick for the feel of a 40k novel and voice throws off the feeling I’m listening to an astartes speaking. Give her a soroitas book or sisters of silence and she would be ok.
Boring
Can’t believe Demski made a boring book but, wow, he did. If you want to hear a serf painfully describe everything for way too long for a whole book, go for it. But I wouldn’t recommend it.
