About this listen

A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook

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.

LISTEN TO 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?

Fulgrim is just a side caracter and the main character feels like an ultra marine that took the wrong color amour.

Came for Fulgrim, left disapointed.

A book about the primarch fulgrim who’s hardly in it! Instead we are treated to unknown characters that have no history or depth.

The lack of the primarch in the story

Black library has been a bit slack lately, some of the new books seem more focused on what’s happening I the real world rather than in the world of space wizards and warriors.

A great insight into a champion of the emperors children, and dare I say, it humanises him: the pursuit of something you think will fill you with joy, but careful what you pursue!

The Black Templars are virtue signalling all the way through the book….and that’s why we love them. They have no time for personal glory, they just want glory for the emperor!

Excellent narration as well! Again, black library have fallen short recently in some selections, Leviathan being a stand out for poor performance, but this one is excellent!

Black Templars + Emperors Children = Perfection

For a legion that claim to be perfect they make a lot of very poor decisions in strategy and warfare!
Fulgrim was superfluous for me, the ancillary characters were far more interesting

Perfection ?

The story is a good one, not quite up there with Horus Rising, First Heretic or Angel Exterminatus but it’s good. What really makes this is the VA, he is just so good. I almost believed Venger from Dungeons and Dragons was narrating parts of it

Not what I expected

interesting story but I wondered what the point of any of it was? bring me some grand Horus heresy narrative any day

Average

Book was not about fulgrim, he was just a backdrop. Main characters are decent but all new

Not bad but nothing special

Tamaris is the best part of this book, he is a great character, Fulgrim comes across how you think he would, I love all the lies he spreads

both lead characters

Great book for Emperors Children in general, Black Templars also. But the main Character is an Emperors Children Captain, not what you'd expect from a book titled 'Fulgrim'

Good Book but Fulgrim isnt the main Character

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

my two main armies are templars are emperors children so this is perfect for me. that being said its definitely a 50% black templars 50% emperors children book, not a book about fulgrim.

kinda my perfect book
