Publisher Description
Vulkan lies in state beneath the Fortress of Hera, and yet many of his sons still refuse to believe that he is truly dead. After a seemingly miraculous rescue by the Ultramarines, Artellus Numeon, once captain of the Pyre Guard, urges the other Salamanders on Macragge to leave Imperium Secundus and return their primarch’s body to the home world of Nocturne – there to be reborn in the flames of Mount Deathfire. But Numeon grapples endlessly with his doubts and fears for the future of the Legion, while their foes seek to carve out new destinies of their own...
Read it because
The Salamanders embark upon an odyssey across the galaxy. Primarchs, daemons and haunting visions bar their path and a physical journey becomes an emotional one as Numeon and his brothers struggle to reconcile Vulkan’s seeming death with their certainty that he will return. And let’s not forget the massive battle as the Death Guard invade Nocturne…

Death and fire
Absolutely loved this one always a fan of the salamanders but this story had me hooked. Took me only a few days to read the whole thing from demons to death guard brutal battle fire and death. Unto the anvil brothers

Bernie’s, 40k style.
This is one of the most boring, redundant books in the HH series. Salamanders carting a dead body around does not make for an exciting read, and certainly doesn’t warrant 60+ chapters. Nick Kyme drags the pointless dog and pony show out over three excruciating volumes with this being the worst. He even throws in a bad Japanese horror movie trope for good measure. As always, the use of the word “actinic” is like a bloody thumbprint at the scene of the crime. It is overused by this author and serves as fair warning of another cringe-worthy read ahead.
Weak
Flows poorly. Non sequiturs galore. I really would like to like the salamanders but wanted then to just die off in the end. The book would be ok for a few bucks but iBooks for $15+? Please. Don’t waste your money.
