Along with a small force of Legio Custodes and the Mechanicum's Magos Biologis Corax and his honour guard enter "the Labyrinth," a complex underground maze created by the Emperor to protect the Primarch Project.

What I didn't quite enjoy were things like the absence of Marcus Valerius and the Therion Cohort for most of the book. I'd like to thank Gav Thorpe for yet again delivering one of the most entertaining and unusual stories published by the Black Library so far. It's really a minor quibble, though, so overall I think the book holds up very well on its own merits.
