Product Description
In surviving the horrors on board the Eisenstein, Nathaniel Garro proved his courage and absolute loyalty to the Emperor. On his return to Terra, Garro is despatched on a mission of even greater importance – a mission given to him by Malcador the Sigillite himself. He soon finds himself back amongst the stars and on the fields of battle, thrust into a warzone where the Ultramarnes battle a greenskin invasion. Once again Garro must fight for survival, but now he also fights to achieve a higher purpose...

Highly entertaining, more like a show than audio book, May 17 2011

This review is from: Garro: Oath of the Moment (Audio CD)
I listened to Oath Of Moment today for the first time. Garro is a lone Space Marine on a very important mission at a most dire point later in the Horus Heresy. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone reading this review, so I won't say much more other than the action and drama in this story makes it one of the more fun Black Library stories I've heard. Space Marines, Imperial Guardsmen, Traitors and Cultists and legendary characters from the time of the Horus Heresy are involved. Even better, the music, sound effects and voice acting by Toby Longworth are extremely well done. It's difficult to talk about the story because it contains all kinds of interesting little revelations about the characters and intricacies of the Horus Heresy that should not be known ahead of time to maximize enjoyment. These Black Library Audio CD stories are much more than just normal audio books, they are more like audio shows like the radio dramas of old with acting, music and sound effects. The actor doesn't just read the story, he performs it and does many different voices and a dramatic reading of the lines. Recommended for all Warhammer fans and fans of SF action. It's a lot of fun.

I have no legion!, Mar 23 2012

This review is from: Garro: Oath of the Moment (Audio CD)
This lavishly acted story draws the listened in from the first moment. On a world shattered by the Ultimate War, a lone loyalist Space Marine is sent on a mission to build a new legion from those were were shunned after the edict outlawing psykers and Librarians. In the most elegant example of the left and right hands not paying attention, the Sigilite sends Garro to collect these disenfranchised psychics and buil a new legion, a secret legion.The voice acting is spectacular. The production value is everything I expect from Black Library and Games Workshop. Though short, I loved every second of it.

A Worthy Addition to the Horus Heresy Storyline, Sep 20 2011

This review is from: Garro: Oath of the Moment (Audio CD)
I enjoy these WH40K audio dramas and this is one of the better ones. The production values have gotten better with each release and Toby Longworth does an excellent job of 'acting' the story.In other parts of the Warhammer 40,000 universe these audio dramas are stand-alone stories but in the Horus Heresy series the Black Library is using them to continue the storyline. We traveled with Garro in "The Flight of the Eisenstein" and at the end of that novel he was cooling his heels waiting for someone to decide his fate. Now he's on a secret mission to help ensure the survival of the Imperium of Man.
I highly recommend these audio CDs to WH40K fans, especially the Horus Heresy CDs as they add a great deal to the Heresy and the WH40K background.
