A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook

A saviour pod screams a flaming path through the skies of Fortuna Minor, almost lost amidst the debris that rains down over the arid plains below. The Imperial fleet in orbit is in full retreat, their deployment undone by orkish cunning.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Follow the story of a leading Imperial military strategist as he attempts to almost single-handedly turn the tide of war against a ferocious ork Waaagh!. Discover how the Astra Militarum fight when they're outnumbered and outgunned.

THE STORY

Fortuna Minor is overrun by Speed Waaagh!s, its population enslaved to build weaponised effigies of the orks’ foul gods. For the Imperial forces on the planet, every hour is a hopeless fight for survival.

But into this nightmare steps Arcadian Leontus – Lord Commander of the Segmentum Solar, peerless tactician and mastermind of countless victories. Even stripped of his armies, Leontus has no intention to merely survive this war. He intends to win it.

This was a great audiobook. Loved the different Astra militarum elements, each playing to their strengths. Forcing the lord solar has to struggle to survive with a rag tag group of various soldiers. Each loss being a blow to them while facing an endless throng of orks. Getting to see how the lord solar weighs his options and develops strategies while leading by example and throwing down when needed.
Highly recommend this audio book, I couldn’t wait to play it when driving to work or school.

the book feels like army roster snapshot in the best possible way, i always like it when great generals can make mistakes and rally from it

great introduction to the character

liked seeing all the different regiments of the guard working together. the ork boss was also metal af, definitely didn't expect that.

informative, good diversity of characters

A nice difference to the typical Guard book, even if the writing was a touch simplistic. Multiple small details shined through that showed that the author really knows the lore; when the Ork has his tooth knocked out and he sticks it in his pocket for later spending, big lolz

A Decent Guard novel

A solid, generally predictable, Imperial Guard story. There's spunky Catachans, grim Krieg, grouchy Atillans, and the Cadians are present. You can tell it was a story meant to promote the new IG range, but it does so in an enjoyable enough manner.

This book had the task of getting me to care about Lord Solar Leontus, a relatively new character in the 40k universe. It had to make me understand why this guy was the head of the Solar Segmentum's armies. Luckily it did. Leontus is a badass who is smart, cold at times but ultimately caring for the people under his command, and a great fighter. The supporting cast were great too and I found myself rooting for them to make it. By the end I was into this character. David Seddon's narration was great too, did a good job with the voices. Get this book.

A surprise for me

Great story

Great performance by the author, but the characters seemed… a bit one dimensional. Would have liked for more characterization from each of the named characters.

Big boss solar gets laid low and rallies a guerilla campaign with all sergeants and below. Short audio book, great time. Both the author and the VA nail the vibe for a story beat like this. VA does a good orc too.
