Listen to It Because

Get new insights into one of the key figures of the Horus Heresy, who shaped the destiny of the Dark Angels for 10 millennia, in a new novel by the master of First Legion fiction, Gav Thorpe.

The Story

Knight of the Angelicasta. Saviour of the Lion. Grand Master of the Order. Lord of the Dark Angels. Protector of Caliban. Chaos Heretic. Destroyer of Caliban. Sorcerer of the Abyss. Arch-traitor. Dark Oracle. First of the Fallen.

Can one man be all of these things?

Kept alive and imprisoned for 10,000 years, Luther is the curse and the salvation of the Dark Angels made manifest. None are so close to the heart and history of the Chapter as the man that embodies all that was great about the First Legion and all that is shameful about the Dark Angels. In his story is writ the tale of the Horus Heresy and the fall from Enlightenment in a single long life. Glory, honour, pride, shame and betrayal weave a tapestry of truth and lies that the Supreme Grand Masters of the Dark Angels have sought to understand and unbind across 10 bloody millennia. Luther claims repentance for his past deeds, but was it his sins that condemned the Chapter to its secretive fate, or should warnings from history have been more closely heeded?

Written by Gav Thorpe. Narrated by Andrew James Spooner.

An excellent performance and a refreshing perspective

This was my first Dark Angels book and I found it fascinating. I loved the lore of Caliban and the parables that Luther tells. Andrew James Spooner’s performance is also exceptional. Highly recommended!

Luther teaches lessons while imprisoned

I really like the perspectives shown through the book. performance is also great. can't wait to see what happens next for Luther.

Good book with an interesting moments.

Starts of a little slow but once it gets going it’s hard to stop listening.

One of the best books

Truly a must read if you are interested in Dark Angel lore . Masterfully written and narrated .

Great Performance & Must Read for Dark Angels

Great and human recollection of Luther’s life on Caliban - very few Space Marine presence of Space Marines; insights of how life on Caliban was before the Imperium arrived and deals of treachery with other forces.
