The Inquisition moves amongst mankind like an avenging shadow, striking down the enemies of humanity with uncompromising ruthlessness. When he finally corners an old foe, Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn is drawn into a sinister conspiracy. As events unfold and he gathers allies - and enemies - Eisenhorn faces a vast interstellar cabal and the dark power of daemons, all racing to recover an arcane text of abominable power: an ancient tome known as the Necroteuch.

A great introduction to 40k, and great overall
Reviewed: 04-13-18
I read this book back in high school, and it was the first 40k book I ever read. It's still one of my favorites now. The book does an amazing job at explaining the vast and interesting world that is the imperium of man, but never gets bogged down in exposition or overwrought technical details. The action is visceral and the characters likeable, at least as much as is possible in the grimdark world of 40k. If your a fan of 40k already, this is still a great read, and a cool insight into the inquisition. The narrator is fantastic, easily juggling multiple characters and embuing them with personality and emotion.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 256
For Ianthe, war is all too familiar. A former soldier in the Astra Militarum, she now serves Inquisitor Covenant as an agent of the Throne. Her first mission sees her investigating a cult called the Children of Eternity. Falling foul of the local Enforcers, Ianthe soon learns that war in the shadows is seldom straightforward and that the local, angry law-keepers are the least of her troubles.

In the distant future, humans and several other races have been granted membership in the Confederation - at a price. They must act as soldier/protectors of the far more civilized races who have long since turned away from war.

well written military sci fi

This audio book was quite enjoyable. the voice actress did a great job portraying all the characters, both male and female. the story took its time setting up the characters and the environment, but once the action starts, it moves at a breakneck speed and is quite exciting.
