About this listen

The planet of Caliban exists much as it has for thousands of years - the knightly orders protect the common people, fighting back the beasts that lurk in the depths of the seemingly endless forests.

Young Zahariel and Nemiel aspire to join the greatest of the orders, led by the example of mighty Lion El'Jonson and his vision of a peaceful and unified world. But the coming of the Imperium brings new concerns and a new destiny for the Lion as part of the Great Crusade, and the sons of Caliban must decide if they will follow him to glory among the stars.

As most have said, I don't see how it connects to the Horus heresy story but it certainly provides some context on one of the Primarks, his origins and the origins of the death Angels. It may play a part further down the line

Unexpected in the series but enjoyable nonetheless

Fantastic read exploring Caliban before the imperium arrived. Loved all the detail of the inner circle, the hunts and traditions. A must read for any dark angel follower or interest in the Horus Heresy.

Great book

Flawless in every aspect but one! I will mention that at end of review due to its miniscule nature.

As with all the books so far, this book continued to capture the imagination and further draws the reader into the book.

I found this particular book the most compelling in part because I have an inclination to books regarding knights of any realm and their secret traditions and ceremony.

This book also gives a greater depth of history and plot to the start of the emperor's rise on Terra, the number of Primarks he created among other nuggets of enlightenment which brought greater clarity to the readership / listeners.

My favourite book so far. As always I recommend this to all.

The only criticism is the one word used mid way through the book which may have simply been a miss read error of the narrator although read with such conviction believed to be on the page he read from. The word "Earth" used... As in this fantasy collection "Earth" is only referred to and known as "Terra".

Thank you for yet another aw inspiring piece of literature.

Drenched in knightly honour-ism to inspire
