Piamen is a tranquil world in the far reaches of the galaxy. Since throwing off the yoke of alien invaders, they have remained free and peaceful...until the coming of the Imperium. When they refuse to join mankind's star-spanning empire, a force of Legiones Astartes is despatched to bring the planet to compliance. And when the Night Lords come, darkness falls. Piamen will never be the same....

I am awestruck by the quality of this audiobook. The effects and background music really set the mood and bring you into the story. Something sorely missed in regular audiobooks. I would love to hear more like this.

My favorite Primarch and his legion in action.

Konrad is portrayed beautifully here. I am floored at how much the Night Lords are slowly drawing my interested

You want to see Curse and his sons methods of compliance and psychological terror in action? You want to look into a mind of madness. Here you go.

Chilling and dark as is appropriate

This shows a really good picture on how Konrad Curze wages “war” while he was still loyal

Solid portrayal of Curze

If you know anything of the Night Lords or Konrad Curze, then you know that they use any means to sow fear into compliance. If this is your first romp into Warhammer 30K, then you have been warned.

Performances are good, except for Curze who is voiced by either Jonathan Keeble or Toby Longworth. I just came off the Art of Provocation where (one of the two) played Lukas the Trickster and Curze sounds more like the Jackal Wolf than the Nighthunter.

Know what you are getting into.

I have heard in vague detail the particular events of this drama. A morbidly delightful surprise that I would get to live it so viscerally through the performance and sound effects.

Morbidly delightful
