Publisher Description

From out of the shadows of the Silent War, a hero emerges. Clad all in grey, an errant warrior of the Legiones Astartes kneels before the Regent of Terra, and accepts a solemn new duty – Battle-Captain Garro, once commander of the Eisenstein, now Agentia Primus of Malcador the Sigillite. From the desolation of Isstvan to the halls of the Imperial Palace itself, he stands as a paragon of loyalty and protector of the innocent, ever ready to strike back at the traitorous allies of the Warmaster. But Garro is walking a path of his own, one that may lead him to question his own place in the Imperium... and what if he, too, should falter? This book contains James Swallow’s complete saga of Nathaniel Garro in the Horus Heresy – the audio drama series is embellished and expanded in prose, with additional scenes to represent the author’s original vision. This all serves as prelude to the events of the novella Vow of Faith, bringing Garro closer to his inescapable destiny as the first true martyr of the Lectitio Divinitatus


Read it Because

Garro hasn't reached the end of his journey quite yet – the Siege of Terra awaits him – but for the very first time, you can read his entire saga in a single volume, from his first mission as an agent of the Sigillite to his decision to break away and seek his own destiny.

AFR Proteus ,

Haphazard and poorly written

This story bounces around a lot. I thought it was a repurposing of four or five short stories hastily assembled into a single narrative.

Malcador emerges as LESS interesting than he was before I read it, and Garro has a very non-Astartes habit of getting into lengthy philosophical discussions with deadly adversaries as they are locked in mortal combat. Several times I found myself thinking, 'Just kill him, you idiot!'

Coming after Praetorian of Dorn, which is a masterpiece, and Corax, which was unreadable, it was disappointing and at best serviceable. The bottom line it's just not very well written, I'm afraid.

Cheesy

I’m having to force myself to finish this book. A lot of plot flaws, IMO. And the characters come off as whining or unintelligent. Very disappointing.
