A Warhammer Crime Story
Tormented by his past, Probator Quillon Drask’s reputation as the go-to detective for strange crimes has led him to the Polaris district of Varangantua. Warring families, corrupt officials, and a monstrous hunger stalk these streets, and Drask must overcome his own inner agonies to bring justice to the tormented city.
Listen to it because
See the world of the 41st millennium from street level, in a grisly crime drama that shines a light on what life is like in the Imperium's rancid underbelly.
The story
'This city eats men....'
Quillon Drask is a haunted man, wrestling with the daemons of his past. With a reputation that draws only the strangest cases, he is intimately familiar with the malevolent underbelly of Varangantua. Yet nothing that has gone before could have prepared the probator for the horrors which now blight the district of Polaris.
Faced with a savage crime with frightening implications, Drask is thrust into a game of corruption and conspiracy, warring families and blasphemous revelations. Only by mastering the bitter lessons of his career and his own tortured past can Drask hope to bring the perpetrators to justice, and curb the monstrous hunger which stalks the city.
Written by Marc Collins. Running time 9 hours 52 minutes. Narrated by Richard Reed.

Grim is right.

I found Drask to be a good protagonist and compelling character in his own right. I was glad of his character's resolution and where it ended.
The mystery itself was good and the twists and turns it took were indeed worthy of the book's title. I recommend this book as well for Richard Reed's narration.
Grim indeed

The novel features our protagonist Quillon Drask. There is nothing super interesting about Quillon, he is a morally gray enforcer in the unimaginably big city of Varangantua. He fights crime and wants to do the right thing while working under the most brutal regime imaginable. Our adventure is set in a polar district of Alecto. While we have a new district, we don't really learn anything new about the planet. The one defining feature of our setting seems to be that it's less populated than the previous parts of the city we've seen.
The story very much echos Bloodlines.... cop who was once great now past his prime and handed a case. He starts investigating, things start pointing towards important people. Quillon is of course told to stop investigating and of course he doesn't. The story and the twists are different from Bloodlines, but overall it still has very much a similar feeling. Nothing really sets this book apart.
We do get a mildly interesting twist at the end. But again, it's nothing we haven't seen in 40k before.
Ultimately I give this audio book 3.5 stars overall (rounded up to a 4 for the purposes of this review because I feel like a 3 is too harsh). I was entertained while listening to this book, there is just nothing there that sets it apart. If you are a fan of the previous Warhammer Crime novels, you'll like this just fine. If you've read the previous two Crime novels and are on the fence, this one won't push on over to being a fan.
Narration was good, but Richard Reed is always good, definitely 5 stars there.
Decent 40k novel, but the formula is wearing thin

A wonderful noir in the trappings of Warhammer 40k

While I look forward to more of other Warhammer Crime story lines more, I wouldn't mind returning to more Drask in the future.
Flowery dramatic writing

That is really my only complaint! Liked it will be reading the next one and would read more about Quillon.
Love 40k Crime, not the best
