About this listen

A Death Korps Audiobook

Vraks is an armoury world that is vital to the struggling Imperium and its efforts to resist the wider threats to humanity. The planet is a key link in the long supply chain that keeps the beleaguered Imperial regiments stationed around the Eye of Terror and ready for war.

The stoic Death Korps of Krieg have been assigned to this desperate world's defence. The grim soldiers of this regiment are born to serve the Emperor, as below Krieg’s irradiated surface is a human factory, existing only to produce soldiers destined for the front line in the Imperium’s most toxic and gruelling warzones. These indoctrinated soldiers are unflinchingly loyal and willing to sacrifice themselves without question or regard to ultimately win victory.

And they will need all these qualities to face the horrors awaiting them on Vraks…

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Understand just how the Death Korps of Krieg have earned their reputation as the Imperium’s most ruthless fighters in this gripping tale of desperate defence and defiant loyalty. Even when all seems lost, new ways to survive and fight are unearthed, as an officer named Tyborc, expecting to die, finds a new way to live.

THE STORY

Vraks has fallen.

Mustering an army from the ranks of the Death Korps of Krieg, the Astra Militarum embarks on a long and desperate siege to save the planet from the madness of an apostate preacher. It will last seventeen years, cost the lives of millions, and attract the attention of daemons and heretics alike, but the Death Korps must claw back victory, inch by bloody inch, from the hands of the enemy.

Top 10 WH audiobook, everything was excellent, from the plot, to the characters to the wonderful narrator

Excellent story and narration

I loved the story from beginning to end, it did a great job of fleshing out the death korps as human while simultaneously staying true to their reputation. The performance was great as it’s the same reader Timothy Watson who has done an excellent job reading the other death korps of krieg novels. However for some reason in the other two novels he’s read, the kriegsmen had German accents which is completely lacking in this novel making it sometimes hard to tell what characters are speaking since there are several non kriegsmen also in the book. Overall a great book and reader that could have been better, but is still good.

Great story with one minor performance issue.

If you’ve read Lyons’ other Krieg books, you’ve probably got a very specific image of the Death Korp in your head. This book takes that image and expands on it, shows its flaws and its secret doubts. This book gets behind the Death Korps’ facade and really considers the different ways this life would affect a person.

Giving The Krieg Depth

Much better then the first Krieg book but for me that's a low bar. It wasn't bad but wasn't stand out memorable like some other books I have listened to.

Better than the first Krieg book

If you are looking for warhammer at it's peak this is probably the book for you.

The Krieg at their finest.

Here's the thing: DKoK is fascinating from a lore point of view, but they themselves are a bit boring. Most of the book felt like as long as the Siege of Vraks itself, long and grueling. But, if you remember the names of characters and wade through it all, it has a pretty solid pay off at the end.
Steve Lyons did as good a job as he could have with the Krieg, and I think it's commendable.

It's Alright

I felt like I was being dragged through the filthy mud with the characters, and I loved it. This grim, awesome, and hopeless slog was exactly what I wanted this book to be and more.

Grim and fantastic

Through demons, mutants, and armies. It shows a modicum of how they feel in trying to win/survive in the grimdark setting.

Good sci-fi war story

The best way you can write about a seize from multiple people’s perspective in the Imperium.
