Publisher's Summary

Having witnessed the terrible massacre of Imperial forces on Isstvan III, Death Guard Captain Garro seizes a ship and sets a course for Terra to warn the Emperor of Horus' treachery.

But when the fleeing Eisenstein is damaged by enemy fire, it becomes stranded in the warp - the realm of the Dark Powers. Can Garro and his men survive the depredations of Chaos and get his warning to the Emperor before Horus' plans reach fruition?

Flight of the Eisenstein Shines with flying colour

This excellent installment is a gripping tale of betrayal and brotherhood, of horror and faith.

with a stunning and dynamic narration that varies from calm and soothing to intense and energetic based on content but never ceases to immerse the listener in the heart wrenching struggle that the desperate heroes of the far future must brave constantly.

the only notable downside is that the prose can be somewhat repetitive at times; this is, however, due mostly to the authors adherence to the specific terminology of the setting rather than any inability to demonstrate an extensive vocabulary.

All in all, Flight of the Eisenstein was a spectacular addition to the Horus Heresy saga and well worth the attention of both seasoned black library fans and newcomers alike.

Good Book, better tea kettle.

The story was great but something about how the narrorator pronounces his "S"'s keptke from binge listening. Is like the start of a tea kettle boiling every single time!

Another great listen.

The 4th book of the series and it is just as good as the first. Both the writing and narration are excellent. There is never a dull moment. I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment. I highly recommend this book and the series.

Amazing introduction to Garro

The story is showing the perception of the Death Guards during the events of the first 3 books of the serie (Horus Rising up to Galaxy in flames).

This book introduce one of the most improtant character of the Horus Heresy: Garro.

half of the book is the life of Garro within the Death Guard Legion before moving to the other half of the book following the Isstvan event.

sounded like the narrator was over embelishing his accent. almost like a bad fake.

speed it up to 1.2x and it is listenable. the story is great.

Really good

As someone who’s relatively new to Warhammer 40 K I find the books to be fascinating. the storytelling is the best I’ve ever read quite keeps you on the edge of your seat with multiple plot twists I’m excited to read the rest.

Favourite book of the HH series so far

Incredible. No other word for it. The contrast between the prior novel and this one from a different viewpoint is a wonderful literary device
