Vox Dominus

Word Bearers #Short Story

by Anthony Reynolds

When a meeting between two Word Bearers hosts goes awry and the battleship Vox Dominus disappears into the warp, all seems lost. But the vessel reemerges just moments later, looking as though centuries have passed. Venturing inside, Marduk and the 34th Host discover that something foul now infests this once-mighty ship – the diseased and twisted sons of the XIV Legion, the monstrous Death Guard!

Read it Because
Marduk and his 34th Host attempt to claim a seemingly derelict Space Marine battleship, only to find their salvage contested by the rotting sons of Mortarion; the Death Guard of the XIV Legion.

Reviews

[Michael Dodd · Rating 4 out of 5]

Carrying on the story of Marduk from Reynolds’ Word Bearers trilogy (and very spoilerific if you haven’t read at least Dark Apostle) this sees the Word Bearers clashing with their cousins in the Death Guard over the unexpected arrival of the corpse of XVIIth Legion battleship.

If you’ve been following Reynolds’ work this sits nicely in quality between the original trilogy and his fantastic Horus Heresy novella The Purge – definitely worth reading, even if it does leave the characters somewhat hanging at the end!
