Description
A Horus Heresy Novel
Censured at the Council of Nikea for his flagrant use of sorcery, Magnus the Red and his Legion retreat to their homeworld to continue their use of the arcane arts in secret.
Listen to it because
One of the most tragic tales of the entire Horus Heresy unfolds as the Thousand Sons are brought low by their relentless quest for knowledge. Magnus is sure that he knows better than the Emperor – but isn't that what caused Horus to fall as well?
The story
Censured at the Council of Nikea for his flagrant use of sorcery, Magnus the Red and his Thousand Sons Legion retreat to their homeworld of Prospero to continue their use of the arcane arts in secret. When the ill-fated primarch foresees the treachery of Warmaster Horus and warns the Emperor with the very powers he was forbidden to use, the Master of Mankind dispatches fellow primarch Leman Russ to attack Prospero itself. But Magnus has seen more than the betrayal of Horus – and the witnessed revelations will change the fate of his fallen Legion, and its primarch, forever.

Awful narrator for a wonderful book
Sadly the narrator fails to do any justice to the book and its story.
He simply reads the book, without real tone or rythm - an instant where a character grabs a cup of recaf is narrated with the same intensity than when two primarchs are about to come to blows, every character sounds alike, save for Arhiman who sounds like a queasy old man that just got out of a beating, all throughout the book.
It's just.. plain old reading, emotionless and bland.
For fifteen hours.
The story, in and of itself, is wonderful and superbly written. Unless Audible re-edit this book with a better narrator, do yourself a favour and steer clear of this one. Get a Kindle version, anything but this.

The history of the Thousand Sons
There are 3 stories in this book which cover 3 major events of the the chapter. from where it was and how it came to be with some very interesting facts and turns. I quite enjoyed the book as a whole but I had a really hard time with the narrator. I hated the beginning because I couldn't stand the voice. The lack of tone impersonification of different characters at the beginning was horrible compared to the previous series. It got better over time and that's not just me getting used to the voice.

Horrible narrator made me stop listening
What did you like best about A Thousand Sons? What did you like least?
A book about the Burning of Prospero and the Thousand Sons!
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I couldn't make it to the ending because the mewling, nasally voice of the narrator made me abandon the book after 2.5 chapters. He makes every character, men and women alike, sound like simpering, whiny children after they've been scolded.
How could the performance have been better?
Get a different narrator, preferably Toby Longworth who can actually capture the spirit and mood of the 41st Millennium.
Was A Thousand Sons worth the listening time?
Considering I couldn't make it through the book, I really can't say.

It could've been great
As with many books in the horus heresy, this book suffers from an excess of fluff. The beginning hours of this audible were a slog to get through. The narrator had a hard time differentiating the voices in the first part of the book and the first 3.5 to 4 hours of the story were dull.
That being said...The book really picked up after they left that first planet. After that I got hooked and the narrator seemed much more confident and invested after this point as well. By the end, he was a terrific narrator, he just needed some time to get there. I was at work and just let the first four hours play in the background. After that the story went into high gear and I found myself listening to it in the car, in my living room, and even while I cooked. I had to know what happened next. It was also nice to see events we have been hearing about for a long time, like the Council of Niccea, Magnus's big mistake, and the battle on Prospero.
In the end, I absolutely loved it, but the beginning was so bad I almost quit this book.

Horrible Remembrancer
I would give the voice performer a zero, if I could. While listening, I tried to find an analogy to describe how bad it was..it was like a military adjutant reciting a story, for 12 hours
Such a shame too, the story has many lore aspects that are first being told with specifics: Legion XV, Magnus and Ahriman, Leman Russ, Emperor, Ullanor, Nikaea, Censure etc...and written by Graham..
BL needs to redo this audio book with a different talent, stat

Bad Narrator, Good Book
The narrator sounds like he has a lisp and is talking through a phone. it almost drags down one of the better HH books.

Don't Let Old Reviews Fool You
Alot of the older reviews complain about the narrator, however it seems that Gareth Armstrong narrates this book now. As always he does a great job with the material and it is a pleasure to listen to. I am about halfway through and will give a final review afterwards, however in Chapter 19, there are clearly some points that should have been cut around the 15 minute mark as Armstrong asks to try the take again, but is kept in along with the comment about trying again.

Don’t let the narrator deter you
Most low reviews complain about the narrator and they are right for the first hour or so of this book. The narrator does find his voice and provides a quality voice to the thousand sons of you can get past the initial roughness of his voice. This is one of the best Horus heresy novels and a must listen for any thousand sons fans

Great Story, Aquired Taste Narration.
This Book is outstanding. The Lore, the writing is just absolutely amazing. This has been one of my favorite books in the Series thus far. Currently on book 13 so that may change.
But, I must warn the Narration of Martyn Ellis is not something everyone will be used to immediately. I understand why he was chosen to Narrate this book. His accent goes well with what you would Expect of the Thousand Sons Characters. But it is an Aquired Taste, I listened to this book over the course of three days and I must say I still remember a great deal of it. What I would recommend is listening to the first few chapters getting used to the Narration then restarting so you don't miss one of the Exquisite Details present in this book.

I felt grief for the fate of this legion
I never liked the 1000 sons, after listening to this novel, I truly love them.
They are my favored legion due to their noble intent and their to human failure.
I felt sorrow while listening to their faith.
Reader knows what he does!!!

Great book, mediocre narrator
The book itself is rather interesting and develops well, but the narrator seems to think that shouting is a good substitute for emphasis and cadence. If you can stomach the first few chapters though you sill grow accustomed to it and it will not bother you in unraveling the fate of tue thousand sons.

By far the best book in the 40k universe
Going through this book a second time has made me appreciate the tragedy even more.
Everything about this book is simply perfect. Writing, content, length, character development...
A must read!

good, but not outstanding
An overall good novel, but it pales in comparison with other entries in the HH series. The descriptions of Marines and their powers seems repetitive and the choice of words is clunky at times. Still definitely enjoyable and since it covers such pivotal moments on the lore, I definitely recommend it.

Interesting tale, expandable characters
The story about Magnus the red is a thrilling tale with big battles, many insights about the warp and the thousand sons.
While Magnus and the human side characters are well described and developed I did not connect with the Astartes protagonists. sadly they seemed quite interchangable, which is problematic when they have to carry a lot of the drama.

Spannend & Packend
Dieses Hörbuch ist super spannend. Die Hintergrundgeschichte der Thousand Sons ist packend, mitreißend und tragisch zugleich. Der Sprecher schafft es, diesem Hörbuch und all seinen Charakteren Leben einzuhauchen
