Publisher's summary

Book one of the Chronicles of Uriel Ventris

Newly promoted Ultramarines Captain Uriel Ventris is assigned to investigate Pavonis, an Imperial planet plagued by civil disorder and renegade eldar raiders.

Listen to it because: here is where the legend begins: the first mission of Uriel Ventris as captain of the Ultramarines Fourth Company.

The story: newly promoted to the captaincy of the Ultramarines Fourth Company, Uriel Ventris leads his warriors to the world of Pavonis, where vicious alien raiders are bringing death and destruction. As Pavonis descends into political turmoil, Uriel and his warriors must battle the xenos as they unravel a plot to unleash an ancient evil buried deep beneath the world - the mysterious and deadly Nightbringer.

Written by Graham McNeill. Narrated by Bruce Mackinnon.

Volume between whisper and yelling range is too much

Great story. But volume difference between normal speech and yelling is too extreme. Sometimes within same sentence.

Great story and performance

Starts a little slow for me, but it gets so good I couldn’t multitask while listening. That’s the sign of a good story for me. Good narration as well, he’s got a good voice and delivery for the Ultramarines.

Pretty good for a 40k book

It was pretty good for a 40k book. Felt a little soulless though; never formed a connection to the characters or what they were doing. It read more a genetic action flick. Narration was good.

Fabulous!

I’m just getting started with WH40k novels and this is my second one. I absolutely loved the story, narration and the performance. Great starting point for anyone interested in diving deep into Warhammer 40000 lore!
