Summary
A Horus Heresy Character series novel.
Sigismund—First Captain, Emperor's Champion, the Eternal Crusader! The founder of the Black Templars was many things, and this novel brings him to life as never before.
Listen to it because....
Get a rare glimpse into the mortal life of one of the greatest champions of the Space Marines, before they were recruited. Sigismund’s beliefs would light a fire that still rages 10,000 years later.
The story:
The Great Crusade is ending. The Emperor has returned to Terra, while Horus remains among the stars to complete the unification of humanity.
As the Imperial armies fight the final battles of the age, Remembrancer Solomon Voss seeks the answer to one question—why does Sigismund, First Captain of the Imperial Fists and greatest champion of the Legions, believe that war will not end?
Granted a rare audience with the master of the Templars, the answer takes Voss on a revelatory journey to a time before Sigismund became a Space Marine, through his first battles and oaths to the bitterest duels between Legions.
Written by John French. Running time 6 hours 18 mins. Narrated by Timothy Watson.

Sigismund at his best
so if you have read the book blurb and you're thinking this sounds good well your wrong. never have I found a book from the black library to be so good. this is the tale of how he became the Templar of the imperial fist, his time in the chapter and youth but spun in a way that had me gripped. worth a listen

The end is only a beginning
Excellent story and characters, but didn't sound as though Sigismund was the first founder of the Black Templars, as they already existed. But great to hear his background although I thought his background seemed a little sketchy. The narrator Timothy Watson was first class, I've enjoyed his work and will continue to look out for a French and Watson again. Totally recommend this title.

A good look into the Legendary Black Templar
learning through the Remembrancer Voss is a good way to cover a lot of ground into what makes the eternal crusader tick.
we find out a lot behind the Emperor's champion that helps to display why he is a coveted character in the 30k setting.

Fascinating
A look at Sigismund giving him an origin and almost a career in the 8th Legion 😳 now that would be a book to read Timothy Watson is a great narrator and brings all the characters to life with aplomb

Made me care for a legion I found boring
Excellent character work, great understanding of the setting, and a deeply philosophical approach at times.

They finally got it right!
One of the largest issues I have with the biographic novels in Black Library, is how often they end up being max 50% about the actual character. They take the framing device aka. Ghaz'gul's story being told to an inquisitor and that becomes a full fledge secondary plot taking up whole chapters.
This, is not one of those books. French has done a brilliant job of using the framing device, as a framing device and while sad that this has to be applauded, this is BL.
We get interesting bits of unknown lore, of both Sigismund and the astrates in general, and I really hope this is going to be the blue print for bio. Novels going forward.
