About this listen

The Blood Angels Chapter of Space Marines is under threat. Having obliterated all human life in the Red Scar region of space, the largest tendril of Hivefleet Leviathan ever seen in the Imperium has converged and is making relentlessly for Baal.

To face this awesome foe, Commander Dante has called upon the Successor Chapters of the ancient Ninth Legion. The Sons of Sanguinius gather in numbers not seen since the dark days of the Horus Heresy. Thirty thousand Space Marines stand ready to thwart the Great Devourer, save the homeworld of their primarch, and prevent the consumption of billions in the Ultima Segmentum beyond.

But the tyranid swarm numbers in the trillions, and they are not the only danger to the chapter’s future. As the galaxy slides toward a terrifying new era, events far away threaten to unleash a greater evil. A further enemy must also be overcome, that of the Black Rage that lurks in the souls of all Sanguinius’ bloodline.

This was an epic tale of blood angels and their successor chapters meeting their inevitable doom. I loved Seth and Dante especially their tale towards the end of the novel ...old warriors in changing times

It's a good book for understanding the blood Angels and their successor chapters.
Tyrranids didn't have much role as I thought they would TBH.

Dante.

Loved how the characters & world of Baal were fleshed out.

Main highlights were:
1) Descriptions of the Arx Angelicum architecture
2) Rituals of the different Successor Chapters
3) "There can be only one Mephiston"
4) Commander Dante's thought process
5) Water-seller's story interweaved with main story
6) Hive Mind's inner monologue
7) The Void War strategies written like real naval battles

Only thing is I wish Mephiston's voice was more like the Angels of Death show. It's part of my head cannon.
