It is 1884, and when a fellow landlady finds her lodger poisoned, Mrs. Hudson turns to Sherlock Holmes. The police suspect the landlady of murder, but Mrs. Hudson insists that her friend is innocent. Upon investigating, the companions discover that the lodger, a civil servant recently returned from India, was living in almost complete seclusion, and that his last act was to scrawl a mysterious message on a scrap of paper. The riddles pile up as aged big game hunter Allan Quatermain is spotted at the scene of the crime when Holmes and Watson investigate.

As usual, I like Lovegrove’s Holmes, but kudos must be given to Kleinsman here for pronouncing those clicks!

Each primarch is an exemplary being, derived from the Emperor’s own genetic stock to embody a facet of His personality. Their powers are unfathomable, but only one of them is the First. Lion El’Jonson is the paragon of what it is to be a primarch. His Legion, pre-eminent for most of their long history, typify the virtues of temperance, pride and martial excellency that the Lion embodies. They are the Emperor’s last line and final sanction. They are His Dark Angels.

Remembered, even in another world (spoiler)
Revisado: 12-23-21
So I re-read Lion El’Jonson’s Primarch book by David Guymer today, because the last time I read it, I didn’t really pay attention to it, and only focused on Lion, so I thought I should give the book another chance, and I did it with the Audible, which was thoroughly fantastic in its performance and really grabbed my attention, while forcing me to slow down and take in the details.
As for the plot, Duriel is the true star of this book, a man who has gathered all that shines in the DA: technology, knighthood, self-sacrifice, loyalty, honour. But he was also really cute when he got caught off guard by Lion while guarding Muspel. It saddens me to see him sacrifice himself in the end, even more so when memories of his sacrifice are expunged under Lion’s command. It is a necessary act, but it is still sad.
Yet, poetically, almost romantically, for us readers who have heard and read the story, we will remember Duriel, even in another world. And this reminds me a line from Sappho’s poem: “Someone will remember us, I say, even in another time.”
