About this listen

An Astra Militarum novel.

The hero of a series of short stories returns in her first full-length novel – and it's as grim, dark and brilliantly written as you'd expect from Rachel Harrison. Uncompromising and fierce, Commissar Severina Raine has always served the Imperium with the utmost distinction. Attached to the 11th Antari Rifles, she instills order and courage in the face of utter horror. The Chaos cult, the Sighted, have swept throughout the Bale Stars, and a shadow has fallen across its benighted worlds. A great campaign led by the vaunted hero Lord-General Militant Alar Serek is underway to free the system from tyranny and enslavement, but the price of victory must be paid in blood. But what secrets do the Sighted harbour, secrets that might cast a light onto Raine’s own troubled past? Only by embracing her duty and staying true to her belief in the Imperium and the commissar’s creed can she hope to survive this crucible, but even then will that be enough?

Kinda want more after the book ends! Great listen, and the narrator is amazing!

Enjoyed this.

New author and narrator for me. The story was epic and well written. Nice change to hear about a female Commissar. I thought Nicolette did a great job narrating 🤷‍♀️ don't understand the criticism.

Good drive and pacing.

Fun adventure, compelling characters and satisfying conclusion. Fun to see almost some romance in there too.

Great story, narrator was trash

Plenty of narrators struggle with opposite gender voices. But this was terrible to listen to. Some of.the male characters sounded like they had suffered a lung shot for the entire book. Cringe.

An excellent story of a traditional Commisar.

While I love the story and characters, and the narrator's performance was exemplary, I found this book a little bit of a slog. A bit too much of, 'he said, she said' style dialogue made it bothersome. that said, I've seen some of Rachel Harrison's newer stuff and that little problem has been addressed. I do hope to see more of Raine and her Rifles in the future, as I did very much love the characters.

Commisar

The best Commisar story since Ciaphas Cain. The main difference is this story is far more serious.

Excellent Warhammer mil-fic with a gripping plot

A gripping plot with excellent characters. The storytelling is good, descriptions get a bit repetitive towards the end, but that’s with most Black Library productions. Perhaps due to hurried production at the end of projects to get them out in time? Anyway, a good listen that I strongly recommend.

Great book if...

... , if you're okay with single-narrator female-narrator.

Book is FIFTEEN HOURS long, so if it doesn't bother you - it gets better and better the further in it goes... but if female narrators doing male voices ain't your thing, well - its FIFTEEN HOURS long.

Great story, great performance, great example of how black library is picking up better authors to write real books.
