THE STORY
Witness the might of the Primaris Space Marines in this bumper edition of novels from the Space Marines Conquests series.
In Fist of the Imperium by Andy Clark, Primaris Librarian Aster Lydorran must use his strength, will, and psychic prowess to uncover a shadowy enemy that preys upon his brothers on the planet of Ghyre.
In Apocalypse by Josh Reynolds, as the Word Bearers threaten to despoil the Ecclesiarchy seat of Almace, Imperial Fists, Raven Guard, and White Scars combine forces to save the world from falling into the hands of Chaos.
And in Ian St. Martin’s Of Honour and Iron, the Dark Imperium beckons, and the Indomitus Crusade has begun – Roboute Guilliman has been resurrected, and his new legions must stop the predations of the Archenemy in order to bring the human race back from the brink of ruin.
In mankind’s darkest hour, as enemies abound and the lines between diplomacy and warfare are ever more blurred, the Space Marines must prevail – for glory and honour.
CONTENTS
- Fist of the Imperium by Andy Clark - Apocalypse by Josh Reynolds - Of Honour and Iron by Ian St. Martin
It’s like a 3.5: The stories were always fun and the fights were always epic. It’s my first 40k book and I think it’s a great place to start, epic stories to really make you want to learn more. Not the best book I’ve ever read but it’s a fun read.
I will admit that the fact that two of the stories are largely from the point of view of the Imperial Fists was not my favorite as I find the way members of the chapter are often portrayed does not make for the most enjoyable reading, particularly as both authors seemed determined to make the Primaris brothers of that chapter even more uptight and judgey. But at least its not the Ultramarines I suppose.
As for the content itself, all three stories are very well written and enjoyable, and I am hopeful that we get more collections like this one as it allows for a delving into how the Warhammer 40K universe is changing with the emergence of the Primaris, and the growing Chaos threat.
