 <p>Note: This is a short story, published initially in the <b>Hammer &amp; Bolter</b> magazine and now part of <a href="https://amazon.com/dp/184970208X/">The Primarchs</a> Black Library book.</p>  <p>The Dark Angels are my space marine army since I collect Warhammer 40,000, so having more background about their primarch is quite appealing.</p>  <p>This story depicts Lion El'Jonson, through two Horus Heresy events: A chaos attack to the primarch's warship and mediating between Iron Hands and Death Guard chapters on a conflict in a Dark Angels planet.</p>  <p>You get a sharper image of the attitude, character and intelligence of the primarch, and at the end, a better picture of what Lion knew about Caliban before returning to the home planet. Even what or how was his idea of helping to finish the war.</p>  <p>A nice lore information burst added to the Dark Angels background. Too bad it feels too short.</p>
