Kharn: Eater of Worlds

Warhammer 40,000

By: Anthony Reynolds

Narrated by: Richard Reed

A Chaos Space Marines Novel

The Horus Heresy is over. The World Eaters are leaderless and their greatest hero is in a coma. Poised on the brink of destruction, the Legion needs Khârn—but will his awakening save them or spell their doom?

Listen because...Khârn is one of the most iconic figures in the Warhammer 40,000 setting, the epitome of Khorne's mortal servants. In this story, you can witness his transition from the World Eaters Captain of the Horus Heresy to the blood-mad betrayer feared across the 41st Millennium.

The story: the Horus Heresy is over. The traitor Legions have scattered, fleeing the wrath of a vengeful Imperium. The World Eaters are leaderless, their primarch missing and their greatest hero, Khârn, locked in a coma. The surviving Legionaries have turned upon themselves, their Butcher's Nails driving them to ever-greater acts of berserk savagery. Poised on the brink of destruction, the Legion needs direction. It needs someone to rally around. It needs Khârn—but will his awakening save them, or doom them entirely?

The Final Moments of Sanity

Kharn is by far one of tge few Chaos characters you feel bad for. This novel focuses on what he and the World Eaters experience before the Betrayl of Kharn and who he gets his name. It is a final glimpse at a warrior whom before his fall was an honorable and skilled warrior. I recommend this for lovers of 40k lore and want a glimpse of a character before a major turn in their arc.

Chaos may actually be dope as hell

The character perspectives are all told extremely well which is boosted even more by the great voice acting!

A great story!

It was a great story I loved every minute of it! the narrator is good as always! the only complaint is I wish there was more kharn but his appearance in the story was well done

A misunderstood story

People are downrating this because they say Kharn doesn't show up until halfway through the story. While this is true, that isn't the point of the story. The story is really about the beginning of the end of the World Eaters as a unified Legion. And while Kharn is unconscious for most of the story, when he finally wakes up, he makes up for the absence by winning with charisma. I recommend this.

Unexpected

This book isn't so much a Karn book as many would have you believe so much as it is a book that features Karn in about 6 scenes. I enjoyed the story and it was presented with clarity, but am disappointed that this was not in fact what was recommended.
