Two audio dramas from the multi-million selling Horus Heresy series.

The Dark Angels and the Night Lords fought one another to a bloody stalemate during the Thramas Crusade and, though the Lion eventually claimed victory, it left both Legions scattered and under-strength. Back on Caliban, those Dark Angels loyal to Luther begin to grow impatient for a return to past glories, allowing the corruption at the world's heart to spread. Meanwhile Jago Sevatarion, First Captain of the Night Lords, languishes in a gaol cell in the heart of Ultramar. Far from a spent force, both Legions must consider where their own personal loyalties lie, and what path they will take in the days and months to come.

Character development but no story progress.

I love the Horus Heresy setting. The quality of these audio productions are great, as is the oration.

The disappointing thing is that these shorter tales do nothing to advance the main story. There's some character development here, but nothing actually moves the story forward. I wish there was some heads up about that fact because I would have skipped this one and saved for the main story line.

I think they keep missing on the Voice characters. I think Sevatar was not properly done. When i think Sevatar, i think of the bad guy in Crow Michael Wincott. The stories overall were okay. nothing to get to excited about. I think they fell short on Luther's character as well. I think the cover art kind of pulled me the rest of the way in.

They failed Sevatar :(

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2015

I think it was okay overall. However i think they failed Sevatar as far as voice actors are concerned. Maybe Michael Wincott from the Crow, or Mickey Rourke or Mike from Breaking Bad might have been a better choice than little twerp that voiced it. Luther's voice seem to be a good choice.

Must have für alle Fans der Night Lords

Reviewed in Germany on March 14, 2016

Master of the First ist eine eher durchschnittliche Geschichte über die von Intrigen begleiteten Vorbereitungen von Luthor und seinen Anhängern auf die Rückkehr des Lion El'Jonson. In jedem Fall etwas für alle Fans der Dark Angels obwohl sehr vorhersehbarer Verlauf der Story (3 Sterne).

The Long Night von Aaron Dembski-Bowden, ist wie von ihm gewohnt einfach nur genial geschrieben und erzählt. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist die Stimme von Sevatar welche doch etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig ist, ansonsten sehr gute Story über seine Gefangenschaft an Bord der "Invincible Reason" welche auch ohne non-stop Bolter-Action auskommt und trotzdem eine spannende Atmosphäre aufbauen kann. Zum Schluss gibt es dann auch noch einen sehr subtilen wenn auch schlussendlich eindeutigen Hinweis des Autors auf das ungeklärte Schicksal von Sevatar (5 Sterne).
