Description

A Warhammer 40,000 novel.The Emperor's Spears are a Chapter on the edge of destruction, last watchmen over the Elara's Veil nebula. Now, the decisions of one man, Amadeus Kaias Incarius of the Mentor Legion, will determine the Chapter's fate.... Listen to it because: Aaron Dembski-Bowden has turned his attention to creating (and maybe destroying) a Space Marine Chapter in detail, and this is your chance to discover their fate. The story:The scattered worlds of the Elara's Veil nebula were once protected by the oath of unity sworn by three mighty Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. The Star Scorpions were undone by flaws in their genetic coding. The Celestial Lions were ravaged by the Inquisition for sins they did not commit. Now, after hundreds of years, only the Emperor's Spears still keep their vigil. They are barbarian watchmen against the Outer Dark, bloodied but unbroken in their long duty. Amadeus Kaias Incarius, a brother of the Mentor Legion, is commanded to cross the Great Rift and assess the Spears' war-readiness, only to be drawn into the chaotic plight of a depleted crusade on the Imperium's benighted frontier. The decisions he makes, far from the God-Emperor's light, will decide the fate of the war-torn Chapter. Written by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. Running time 11 hours and 46 minutes. Performed by Kelly Hotten. Read more

  • I want more
Format: Kindle
This book was so so good, as someone that loves the universe but especially different space marine cultures and the intricacies of adepts Astartes collaborating it really hit the spot. I think it might just the be my favorite 40K book I’ve read so far. I hope the story continues but in the meantime I’ll be digging through previous books by this author ... show more

  • Thought it would be a drag, but was a fun ride!
Format: Paperback
First, let me say I really enjoyed this book. Second, let me say I just couldn’t get traction in the first 20 or 30 pages and the book sat in a shelf for a while. But, I figured, I paid fir it so I’d better read it. This was a great idea. In shorthand, Space Marines crossing the rift to see what’s what and who is still loyal. There was a sub context of suspected questionable loyalty over on the other side. I figured, sigh, seen that before. But ... The main character isn’t a space marine and two of the four or five main characters are human. Not what I expected. It struck me that the plot varied from what I had anticipated to make it a very fun romp thanks to some twists and turns. Even read the ending twice - it has (to me) a surprising ending that makes me hope there will be a sequel! ... show more

  • An Amazing tale set on the other side of the imperium nihilus
Format: Kindle
Aaron Dembski-Bowden needs to be given more work by Black Library, the man doesn't miss when it comes to his the tales he weaves in the 40k universe. This is not bolter porn and if that's what what you're looking for you won't find it here. This novel is the spiritual sequel to the ADB's 'Armageddon' and 'Fire and Blood'. You don't have to read the novel and subsequent short story to enjoy this story, but it helps. This story is unlike any Space Marine story I've read before. First, the PoV character is a thrall/Helot (read slave). With that, Anuradha gives a human perspective to the whole endeavor. Without spoiling the novel, this is a novel about trust and betrayal. I highly encourage people to read this. ... show more

  • Fantastic side story in Imperium Nihilus
Format: Kindle
Great book. Loved the characters. Does not suffer in the way some space marine novels do where the characters feel unrelatable. Anuradha is an interesting narrator. I would love more novels like this where we get to see snippets of what is going on in the Dark Imperium part of the Imperium of Man. Hope we get.more Spears novels in the future! ... show more

  • An excellent post-Rift Space Marine novel
Format: Kindle
ADB does it again! Like most of the best Space Marine-related 40K novels, this one is told from the perspective of a human thrall of a Marine chapter. It's got plenty of action, a look into the variant culture of a new chapter, and the conclusion of a long-running thread of Warhammer 40K narrative. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • A New Perspective and a Great Read
Format: Paperback
The Spear of the Emperor, written by Aaron Dembski-Bowden is another Space Marine novel for fans to dive into; but it’s also unlike anything I’ve read so far. Following The Emperor’s Spears and the Mentor Legion, this novel takes place in the Elara’s Veil nebula. Where their war is far from over. The Emperor’s Spears have been isolated for over a century. And yet they fight on. Their war in the Elara’s Veil has been a bloody one, but that hasn’t slowed them down any. They’ve received no contact from the other legions in a hundred years, so when Amadeus Kaias Incarius passes through the Great Rift for a status report, they’re understandably quite suspicious. “This is the tale of Amadeus Kaias Incarius and the Spears of the Emperor. It is a tale that has yet to end, but began many years ago, in the reign of the swordking Arucatas, as a warship set sail for the Elara’s Veil nebula and into the Great Rift.” Warnings: These are Space Marines we’re talking about. They’re going to throw themselves headlong into danger, and sometimes that means they’re going to be graphically killed or wounded. Alongside that, Spear of the Emperor includes scenes depicting slavery, torture, and some graphic detailing about infections and wounds. The Spear of the Emperor was absolutely nothing like what I expected. It was brilliant and intense, and shockingly moving at time. I think what surprised me most about this book (aside from all of the shocking events of the story itself) is the main perspective of the novel. Anurahda is not a Space Marine. Not even close, but she is the Helot Secundus to Amadeus Kaias Incarius. Which is basically a pretty or nice way of calling her his thrall or slave. She’s an augmented human, and while she is nothing like the Space Marines, she (and her companions) does a surprisingly decent job of keeping up. This novel starts out with devastating numbers of lives lost and damages taken. Then it throws the surprising twist of the main character, and from there it’s a series of surprises, battles, and dramatic elements. It all combined beautifully into one novel. And I’m not at all ashamed to say that I was sad to see it all end. In short: The Spear of the Emperor was nothing less than thrilling. It was full of dynamic characters of all varieties. It had a surprising amount of intrigue and mystery. And it had a strong sense of honor and ethics woven throughout. It was exactly the sort of novel I’ve always been hoping to see, and best of all, it gave me insight to a chapter I’ve known almost nothing about. And now I feel compelled to continue reading the rest of this saga. ... show more
