About this listen

An Orks novel.

Ghazghkull Thraka, the Beast of Armageddon, is one of the greatest threats to the Imperium. For the first time, hear his full story...as told to the Inquisition by his faithful banner bearer Makari.

Listen to it because: for the first time, get a grot's-eye view of the inexorable rise of the greatest ork warboss since the Great Beast, in a novel packed with all the action and dark humour you'd expect from an ork tale.

The story: of the billions of greenskins who swarm the galaxy, the name of one strikes fear into the hearts of human and xenos alike—Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka.

The Warlord of Warlords.

The Beast of Armageddon.

The Prophet of the Waaagh!

With his tusks, fists and power claw, he does the holy work of Gork and Mork—and soon all worlds will burn in his bootprints.

Mystery shrouds the origins of such a beast. Rumours abound that the mighty warlord was once just like any other ork—but if that is the case, how did he rise from a lowly lad to the biggest of bosses? Many have lost their minds trying to unravel the secrets behind his rise, and Lord Inquisitor Tytonida Falx is no different. She has headed into the murky depths of heresy to find the answer—but this time, something is different. This time, she has something the others did not. She has custody of the one creature in the universe who claims to know the truth of it all—Ghazghkull’s banner bearer: Makari the Grot.

Written by Nate Crowley. Narrated by Kelly Hotten, Paul Putner and Jon Rand.

The audiobook version was perfect!

Nate Crowley puts his wild imagination to darkly hilarious use with the fantastic Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh!, effortlessly elevating Warhammer 40,000 orks into compelling, thought-provoking characters. Relatively short but wide-ranging, This is a short but perfectly formed novel, and while the interrogation idea has been done before it’s perfectly suited to this story. Falx and her retinue make for an entertaining cast, and likewise Biter the interpreter (no spoilers but…he’s great), while Makari is every bit the vicious, slippery little monster, but at the same time strangely sympathetic. Of course, looming over everything is the menacing shadow of Ghazghkull himself, who’s utterly terrifying from an Imperial perspective, but depicted as such an interesting character that as a reader it’s hard not to root for him in the end!

It's all about Makari

I loved all the Makari bits, but I found the interrogation scenes hard to get into.

I never thought I could both love and hate Makari

Nate Crowelly is a genius, perfectly recreating the mind of an orc, if you haven't already read twice dead king I highly recommend it, the only other thing I have to say is WAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!

Crowley’z dun allroit fer a humie

My first introduction into the novels of Warhammer. This was a hilariously epic, intriguing, and engrossing adventure. Nate Crowley did a fantastic job of characterizing Ghazghkull, and making all the orks more relatable.

The voice actors convey their roles perfectly. From the dry wit of the Rogue Inquisitor Falx, to Makari’s dramatic and remarkably humorous retelling of Ghazghkull’s rise, fall, and rise back to power. Grouped with Hendrickson’s violent, xenos-hating Space Marine-ness, this is a lovable group of characters that I had a great time getting to know.

A really fun book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish! The narration switching really adds a lot to the listening experience and each narrator did wonderful in their chapters. It's not incredibly insightful or thought provoking it's just a super fun romp through the Ork culture of Warhammer 40k. However, I don't think I'd recommend this as your first Warhammer 40k book just because there's a lot of assumed knowledge with characters referencing various names and events in the universe without further explanation. If you're somewhat familiar with the lore already though this book is an absolute treat!

Orc Wisdom on Headbutting

This kind of stuff is why I love this book!

To an orc, headbutting is something spiritual. To smash a problem with your head is to solve a problem with the gifts of Gork and the gifts of Mork. Hitting something with the thing that you think with, is the opposite of giving a speech, but is also the same thing, because speech is just another way of hitting people with your brain. Beatings of the mind.

The Orc Holy song to the Prophet

Here we go, here we go, here we go. Here orcs go, here orcs go.....(on and on).
