A Warhammer 40,000 novel.

Drawn to a stricken world, the Ultramarines of Crusade Fleet Quintus, believed by many to be cursed, face a stark choice - fight a desperate last stand or doom a sector to warn the Imperium of the rise of a new Necron empire in the Pariah Nexus.

Listen to it because: this is the first Warhammer 40,000 novel based on the new edition of the game, and it's packed with amazing action, fantastic characters and tons of intrigue - everything you want in a novel of the Indomitus Crusade.

The story: for nearly 10 years, the Indomitus Crusade has waged a war of defiance and reconquest in the war-torn Imperium.

Attached to Crusade Fleet Quintus - dubbed the Cursed Fleet by many - the Ultramarines of the Ithraca’s Vengeance are drawn to a stricken world.

With millions enslaved, a malign necron technology siphons the souls of the innocent and heralds the Silent Kingdom’s expansion. The Ultramarines face an impossible decision: mount a desperate last stand to destroy the Pariah Nexus, or break away and damn the entire sector to bring word of this ancient foe’s resurgence to the only being capable of halting it - the Lord Primarch Roboute Guilliman.

Written by Gav Thorpe. Approx running time 9 hours 51 minutes. Narrated by Robin Bowerman.

So, personally I prefer “hard” sci-fi that has explainable technology either rooted in reality or at least internally consistent in the universe. This is an area where most BL authors utterly fail. I think Thorpe really delivers here. I’m not usually a fan of the Ultrasmurfs, but he does a pretty good job of giving them realistic flaws and having them overcome challenges (or not) in a way that doesn’t just scream “plot armor!” I also enjoyed the Necrons, most books only show their actions without going in to their internal thought process. The narrator is ok but he does have a lisp that is very pronounced any time he hit an “s” sound and it can be distracting.

liked it overall, but not the best start to the new project. the character dynamics on both sides seemed weak and recycled. I really hoped for more.

not the best...

Book picks up towards the end. Wish the 2 Lt competitive nature was better written and the Judiciar wasn't dumbed downed ro a bunch of "for the emporer" chants. Still lots of good pew pew moments. hopefully later books in the series will pick up.

Rough Start to series.

Fun story. Ultra marines they only play in one key. The Necrons back story between the characters could and should have been more fleshed out. That alone would have made the story more understandable. At least in regards to the antipathy between the two zenos commanders

good but could have been longer.

This is a great book that's narrated well and left me wanting more. the characters are well defined and easy to keep track of. The plot is great and totally emersive. the characters motivations and reasoning are clear and understandable.

loved it

I know this book seems to have caught some flak, but I really, really enjoyed it. I found the story compelling, and I enjoyed the characters and their development. I also thought the narrator was very good.

Great Audiobook!

A good story but I wouldn't write home about it. It definitely gives the 40k vibe but seasoned players or readers probably won't gain much.

Good for new players; veterans pass it up.

Overall the story was good, and worth reading at least once. The main cast of characters are done well and likable, I especially enjoyed the necrons point of view since it shows they aren’t just mindless machines. Like any good villain the necrons believe that what they are doing is good and right for the galaxy, and so creates a nice contrast to the humans beliefs.

The voice actor did very well and was easy to understand. His voice acting for many of the characters were good enough not to pull you from the atmosphere of the story so can’t really ask for much more than that.

If you are a fan of the Space Marines or Necrons then I would recommend giving this book a read. The story is a little slow to get going at first, but turns into a fun ride even though it doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of the universe.

A little slow to get going, but a fun ride none the less

(minor spoiler) I'm not sure if the review spoils it, but this might be the earliest encounters of the pariah nexus.

the story is good and the characters grow and learn which is nice. a good listen overall.

if you're like me and have just finished another series of books and not sure where to go. then this is a good book to take a break and get a breather.
