Publisher's summary

A Carcharodons audiobook.

With a millennia-long hunt close to its end, Carcharodons Chaplain Manu must redouble his efforts as he ventures into the nightmare city of Commorragh.

Listen to it because: this is your chance to learn more about the secretive savages of the Carcharodons Astra as they tangle with some of the most terrifying predators in the galaxy...almost as terrifying as themselves.

The story: in the darkness beyond the galaxy, there are monsters. Some swim closer to the light, drawn by the beacon that is the Astronomican, while others stalk the Void, predators in the dark. The Carcharodons have hunted for millennia, but now they are drawn into a new blackness...the Dark City of the drukhari itself. Commorragh.

For a thousand years, Chaplain Tangata Manu has searched for a relic lost under his watch - an ancient thing, once charged into the keeping of the Forgotten One himself. But at the brink of seeing his hunt fulfilled and the relic returned, it is stolen from under him. Now, if Tangata would see his honour restored, he must lead his hunt against some of the vilest predators the galaxy has ever seen, before they can turn the artefact to their own purposes....

Written by Edoardo Albert. Narrated by Gareth Armstrong.

Good balance

it's a great balance of build up and violence. A great balance of the Space sharks side and the dark eldar side (mainly space shark). for me it was easy to follow even with knowing little of the dark eldar, and once the final quarter of chapters arrive. you can only keep going and ignore your responsibilities.

Great story but performance drags it down a bit.

Several occasions of repeated sentences and strange voicing choices can sometimes take you out of universe that the authors words is trying to pull you into.

Not bad, but not epic.

Interesting but it felt like at points it was just dragging on to fill up time. At other points you want to keep listening. The ending was pretty good, if not a little vague. Definitely a change of pace from other astartes novels. Would recommend.

Solid beginning, mediocre ending

Started off very strong, but then towards the end just has you going What the h*** is going on?
Still overall, a great story. But the ending just doesn't do it for me personally.

Space Sharks in action!

This was an amazing story, the way that the Carcharadons conduct themselves is very unique compared to other Astartes and this made for a very interesting tale. The Drukhari make for a great enemy and an excellent matchup for the Carcharadons, there’s action, mystery, and some very heartwarming moments. Pick this up for a change of pace from the normal Space Marine books.

Finish the book.

The first few hours I just kind of nodded my head and carried on. When I reached the end of the book. The last few hours. I stop the other tasks I was doing. And listen to contently. It had a great ending. It’s worth the time.

I have listened to over 100 warhammer 40k audio books and this is in my top 10. I hope to hear more from this author.

Engaging

I was drawn in for the entire ride, the drukhari are described interestingly. The beginning part was super fun.

Slow Start strong finish

While this may feel like it starts slow, it's reallt just a slow burn until the book is a full fire. Great use of characters, particularly Xenos ones in an Imperial novel.
