Fulgrim: The Perfect Son

Warhammer 40,000

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?

Not About Fulgrim.

Emperor’s children side story, oh and Fulgrim says he’s back. No returning characters or setting changing stories.

Really great!!!

Wow I couldn’t stop listening! Great character development of extremely compelling characters. The build up as they compete for their father’s affections will keep you listening!

The perfect representation of the corruption of the emperors children

I liked the story the prefirmance was good and over all its a perfect book

Great voice work, ok story

Story was ok but I really don't see what the point of it was. Didn't advance the setting in any way that I could gather but I don't think that was Jude's fault. Would have been better as just an EC story instead of a Primarch release book. Felt like GW wanted to do the release of Fulgrim and EC so they had Jude write something that didn't affect anything other than saying Fulgrim gathered his legion. Really confusing. I will say that I hope they let Jude work on a Fulgrim novel that ties in with Guilliman and The Lion because she did write him and the EC wonderfully.

I'll be really disappointed if this is how they handle future Primarch returns. They did Guilliman and The Lion well, but, if this is how they're going to do it from here on out, then it's going to be a really long few years.

Narration was phenomenal, though. Fulgrim sounded absolutely fantastic.
