Horus Heresy: Garro - Legion of One - James Swallow

The second of the Garro audiobooks sees him head for Istvaan III and recruit Gavriel Loken for his new un-named (Grey Knights) legion,.

It's a nifty little tale concerning Garro & his Ultramarine & World Eater companions attempts to defeat an army of plague zombies and the madness that has made the abandoned Loken convinced he is Cerberus the guardian of Death.  It's all a little daft but that's where the fun lies in the 40k (& 30k) books.

The reader, Toby Longworth, is solid as ever but even he can't make the cod-Latin sound anything other than ridiculous and clunky.

I like Swallow's writing and these two audiobookshave been fun although I thought they'd make more of the recruiting than just the two.  Be interesting to see what happens next.
