Garro: Sword of Truth

Recommended Posts

Isn't the obvious question, why is a member of a completely loyal legion with loyal members of traitor legions?

 

Though I'm not moaning about a WS finally being in the HH series

 

 

It's said in Oath of Moment that garro is tasked by malchador to gather members of every legion, loyalist and traitor alike. The first astartes recruited is Rubio, codicier of the Ultramarine.

If its just after the news about Isstvan has been heard then my guess is that they don't know which of the other legions could be traitors as well.

It's set between the other 2 Garro audio books.

 

From lexicanum:

Nathaniel Garro, knight errant and agent of the Sigillite, returns from the battlefields of Calth to find a new mission already waiting for him – a ragged fleet of Space Marines from several Legions lingers at the edge of the Terran system. With the presence of World Eaters and Emperor's Children causing concern among the loyalist defenders and drawing a grim parallel with his own frantic flight, Garro must look beneath the obvious if he is to determine friend from foe...

 

Basically a story about how Varren joined Garro i think.

The "grim parallel" part makes me think that Varren and the EC managed to break away from their Legion, or were elsewhere when the Dropsite Massacre happened, and they fled back to Terra the same as Garro did. The WS could have been seconded to Varren or the EC for diplomatic relations and was dragged along with them? Though it does say several Legions so maybe a WS fleet fled to Terra thinking that the Khan would turn traitor too.

Varren was at Isstvan III, when Garro took flight. This has not changed since the first time the Horus Heresy was talked about in 2nd E. I think Varren was with Tarvitz, planet side, when the bombs fell on them at the end of GiF. Who ever lived through it with Varren used some ship that was in the underground hanger guarded by Rylanor. They make it back to Terra and encounter the White Scars and maybe more. Garro is sent to bring them in.. insert the wacky hi jinx.

 

This story along with Legion of One, will prove that Horus Failed in his attempt to exterminate the Loyalists on Isstvaan III. The idea that their were no survivors on Isstvan III was just propaganda. This will again show why you never leave enemies like this alive.

Agreed, the only reasonable conclusion i can think of is that they are the survivors of Isstvaan III and the few survivors from Isstvaan V and stragglers from other battles along the way.

First: Emperor's Children. Neat, but also a bit meh of a pic of him. Still cool though.

 

Second: World Eater. It's great to see one of Angron's kids with some hair, composure, and not screaming with psychotic rage. He almost looks knightly. I highly approve!

 

Third: White Scar. Thank you, BL, for finally giving the Scars some pre-heresy love. Friggin' awesome looking too!

 

All in all, seems pretty awesome. Sucks I have to wait for the prose version. -_-

I don't think any from Isstvan V would be involved. I don't see a Salamander or Iron Hand on the cover. As for others along the way who knows.

We still don't know what happened to Vulkan, do we?

No, we don't but it is unlikely to me, for us to find out his fate in a book called, Garro: Sword of Truth. That would be the focus of a whole set of books IMO.

No, of course we won't find out his fate in Sword of Truth. I just wrote about Vulkan to show that we're not really finished with Isstvaan V.

Although, BL Live Weekend coverage says Nick Kyme will be dealing with the Sallys again. I guess it's not a "Missing Legions-level" secret, in Black Library's eyes, rather a gap to be filled in.

All this talk about the White Scars has really got me thinking. Their lack of involvement thus far is glaring. Other then their first bit of bolter porn in the Lil Horus short story, they have been overlooked. In a thousand Sons, Targutai Yesugui is mentioned as a highly respected Liberian. I think this name drop was not a one shot throw off. If I were Malcador and I had to put together a list of Astartes to form the genesis of the Grey knights i would include Targutai Yesugui. This would be a opportune time to weave the White scars into the fold of Stories in the HH.

I really hope that the EC is Saul Tarvitz (although I don't think it will be :)), he is one of my very favourite characters from the HH series, also I think the guy on the left is either Iacton 'Half-Heard' Qruze or A white Scar of some description, the armour is kinda hard to make out.
