About this listen

Within this book you will find Crusade, a fantastic new novella from Andy Clark....

Sons of the primarch Roboute Guilliman, the Primaris Ultramarines are peerless warriors whose sworn duty is to protect mankind from the predations of the xenos and the foul traitors of the Heretic Astartes. In a galaxy riven by eternal war, they and the other armies of the Imperium are all that stand between mankind and damnation. Their ship damaged by warp storms, the Ultramarines of strike force Cassian make for Kalides Prime. They hope to find safe harbour to repair their craft before rejoining the Indomitus Crusade. Instead, the Primaris Space Marines discover a world reduced to rot and ruin by the plague-ridden warriors of the Death Guard.

Also within this book is a host of awesome short stories to give you a flavour of the many warring armies that exist within the worlds of Warhammer 40,000.

all the storys seemed pointless and a little dull only one or two are worth a listen.

bit disappointing

lots of fantastic stories in here with great voice acting. a great place to start for newbies but also an enjoyable listen for others

great stories for a newbie and oldie

Some very good stories compiled here. One or two are a little dull but the narration is spot on

Good value

It's not a good place to start with the whole 40k universe. Straight off the bat there is a lot of in universe specific language, which for the uninitiated will probably just be confusing. The stories are OK but nothing more than that.

Throws you in at the deep end

The performances were all great I must say.
I enjoyed the main "Crusade" story, it was interesting to see DG's side of a fight.
Then the short stories do a good job to give an overarching perspective on many other factions, to varying degrees of enjoyment.

A mixed bag

a great primer for beginners or just fans who want some bite size stories

great selection of stories

Fantastic listen for all.
Good variation of books in one.
will listen again. recommend for all fans, new and old

Great listen

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
interesting set of stories but not a good introduction to the setting, more shotgun selection than a curated narrative

interesting but odd selection

Crusade and Red and Black, probably the best stories from this collection and that is why it received 4 stars. It was quietly read and it was a struggle to hear at times. John Banks is good and I enjoyed his reading of Pharos but I wonder how I would have enjoyed this if it had been read by Jonathan Keeble or Gareth Armstrong.
Some of the stories were so short it almost seemed pointless to even read them let alone listen to them.

The good, the bad and the very short

This was a great listen, a great Introduction to 40k lore, the narrator's did a bang up job making it easy to differentiate characters, well worth picking up.

Great first listen
