Malcador: First Lord of the Imperium by L.J. Goulding
5.0
In this short audio-drama Malcador the Sigillite sits vigil with dying friend, Sibel Niasta, his personal astropath. While she expresses her worries about the coming days and expected destruction Malcador decides to tell her about himself and most importantly he reveals the Emperor's ultimate plan.
And this finally made sense of all the Emperor's actions. I wont go into it (you might even guess it but I will not spoil it here) but what Malcador said will surely set the stage for many things to come.
I am still a little bit under shock but man it surely raises many other questions - were the traitors actually warned of Emperor's true intentions and this led them towards the finale as we know it? It is very unsettling to come to conclusion that even mighty creatures as Primarchs are actually puppets that can easily be controlled and manipulated.
Even if we allow that not all said by Malcador is truth it still leaves a wow-effect considering the goals of the Emperor (I still don't see him as an altruist but we are still to learn - I truly hope these stories will be told - what he encountered and what he tried at first).
Excellent acting and very interesting drama that has no action scenes but quiet discussion between two old friends, both insiders when it comes to Terra's politics, about the current situation in the galaxy.
Highly recommended.
