For this episode, we’re reading Ghost Legion by Mike Brooks. You can purchase it at Amazon, or the Black Library. Sorry audio fans, for reasons unbeknowst to us (but knownst to Black Library) this one’s not on Audible yet.
From the back of the book:
Solomon Akurra dreams of empire.
As Harrowmaster, he has united feuding forces within the Alpha Legion under his command and conquered entire star systems. Wielding what he claims to be the Pale Spear, his primarch’s weapon, Solomon is carving a new future. Many renegade warlords seek to enslave humanity, but the Ghost wants more. He seeks to shatter the Imperium and rebuild humanity anew.
However, ambition attracts enemies, and the Imperium rises in force to destroy Solomon’s Ghost Legion and his burgeoning new world. To defend what’s his, the Harrowmaster must test his martial prowess and ingenuity to the limit. He is prepared to play the long game, but as Imperial assassins lurk in the shadows and fury and dissent fester within the ranks of his Legion, will the terrible price of Solomon’s vision prove too high a cost?
