About this listen

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.

Great performance; story lacking

This story feels like the opening and ending were decided first, along with key characters and events, and the rest was added as filler to connect it all in a very tired way. I finished other carcharodon audio books first and the characters in this felt very flat comparatively. The performance was great and made up for some of it. Overall recommended, but my high hopes weren't met exactly.

In my top 10

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.

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.

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.

Great story and concept with a terrible ending

I love the concept and the story. It was rushed and especially and tragically rushed at the end. The ending itself however… I had to go back and listen twice to absorb how absolutely and obscenely ill conceived the ending was. It has very much a GAME OF THRONES season 8 feel to it.

Surprisingly good!

This is the 1st book by this author I've listened to.

The subjects of the story I am familiar with an ever read several books about.

Albert's work in this book was very good. There was subtlety, suspense, action, and metaphysical interest that is normally not common in a space marine novell.

I have rated the story 5 out of 5, so understand that I think very highly of the story. That being said common I will remark on a few points.

The book took a while to get going. My normal rule is 100 pages, then I drop it if I don't maintain interest.I was challenged a bit in the beginning.

Very similar names can cause a bit of confusion until you get used to them. This is a particular disadvantage to audio books.I hope that the author keeps this in mind in the future, even though fixing this problem would likely detract from the thematic quality of the sorts of names used by this chapter.

This last one is a smalle point.In the final battle of the arena, psychic powers are not like bullets, you do not have to hit specific bull's eyes.I wish the author would have managed that combat a little bit differently.

5/5

As far as the narration is concerned, I do not believe there is a better narrator then Gareth Armstrong in black libraries stable of narrators.

5/5
