About this listen

A Lucille Von Shard Audiobook

An Imperial propagandist meets the flying ace legend he created, to prepare her for the most difficult battle of her storied career.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

This novel offers insight into some of the lesser-known, but no less important, aspects of the Imperial war machine – the agents who move in the shadows to rouse and inspire the masses of soldiers across every branch of the war effort.

THE STORY

Flight Commander Lucille von Shard: Hero of Bacchus, fighter ace, and a living legend heralded for her valour and piety. Propagandist Kile Simlex, responsible for her fame, shares none of this renown. Condemned to the ignominy of a scribe’s cubicle cell, his chance at liberation comes as a cryptic vid message claiming to be from Shard herself, requesting his aid.

Under the von Shard family’s patronage, Simlex journeys to Deighton, a world in open rebellion from the Imperium, where he finds the commander a shadow of her former self. Near broken by eternal war, her confidence and reputation crumbling, Shard must somehow steel herself for her deadliest battle yet, against a xenos mercenary of unparalleled skill. Can Simlex help her overcome this near-invincible enemy, or merely watch as she is finally defeated?

Von Shard’s Triumphant Return

Denny Flowers has once again crafted a masterpiece that interweaves the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium with a cautionary tale of how fascism perpetuates itself through media. It would bring me joy to no end if this series was even half as long as the Ciaphas Cain series. Long live Lucille Von Shard!

Amazing Imperium Intrigue!

I really prefer the longer Warhammer series stories because they take a lot more time to flesh out characters, tell a more imersive story, and get into all the details. This one was great. It really did throw me for a loop a few times.

The story wasn't just 2 dimensional. It was all told from one character's point of view but through him you get to consider several different views of what's going on.

This was another one that I hated having to pause or stop and continue later. If I could have I would have listen to all 10+ hours straight through!

Finally

A ravenor quality detective mystery. Worth getting into purely by virtue of a new author, excellent voice acting, and very believable characters

Never a dull moment

The character development and story was captivating from start to finish. I hope the author releases another novel for this series in the future.

Great sequel with twists and turns.

Simlex and Lucille are back! Simlex is still a brooding idealist, and Lucille is still arrogant and wild… though a lot less confident. Another fun novel, let’s hope for #3.

superior to the first by every metric.

This novel is better then the first in every way. While I liked the first one I didn't love it. I loved this novel. the side characters are WAAAAY better, the antagonists are excellent, the forces arrayed more interesting, the plot more engaengaging, the descriptions more detailed the themes more effectively explored, even the narration is improved going from pretty good to excellent.

get this audiobook, and I hope we get a third.
