I love this short series following Loken's exploits and the pre-cursor Grey Knights. Also, as it is a John French tale, I have high hopes for a very enjoyable listen. Let's see if it lives up to the hopes.

Review
Hey, I love short stories, but this was relatively short. It truly deserved more time. The plot itself is enticing as the newly spilt Imperium can no longer trust each other. One great example of this is showcased in this title. Fearing the silence coming from Caliban, Rogal Dorn sends forth his agents to investigate and discover where the Dark Angel's loyalties lie.
Now, this title is for lore lovers. If you are new to the whole will they, won't they story of Cypher, Luthor and the Lion, then this piece may well confuse the shit out of you. Especially once you throw the Grey Knights' birth into it! But it is worth the listen if you keep up with it all. I can see why this was bindle with another story and combined they make for a solid listen.
