About this listen

Book 4 of The End Times

In the tunnels of Karak Eight Peaks, the final battle begins. Dwarf, goblin and skaven clash as the world burns around them. And in Karaz-a-karak, the dwarf high king faces the end of his empire…

Listen to it because

Another long-running storyline comes to its end as the eternal war for Karak Eight Peaks is finally lost… Guy Haley will bring tears to your eyes as several fan-favourite Warhammer characters meet their demise.

The story

The End Times are coming. In the warrens of Skavenblight, a new power is rising. The verminlords walk the earth and they plan to lead the skaven to their destiny as rulers of the world. But for Queek Headtaker, the only destiny that matters is his own, as he plans his final assault on Karak Eight Peaks. In the depths of that ancient city, two rival kings - the goblin Skarsnik and the dwarf Belegar - prepare to meet the onslaught. And in Karaz-a-Karak, High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer presides over what he knows, in his heart, is the end of the dwarf empire. The Horned Rat rises and nothing will ever be the same…

Good story and narration. Can't help the irrational feeling that something is lacking... maybe one more Slayer and a manling.
But then the Rat would lose its horns and that just won't do in the End Times. Enjoyed it a lot.

Well, we knew this is the End Times, so...

the sheer amount of skaven / goblin / dwarf voices this man speaks in this novel is truly amazing. only a master can bring this much character into this giant novel and the performance is top notch throughout its entire length - never losing speed. bravo.

The Narrator is amazing, Mr Spooner does an amazing job making so many Skaven, Greenpoint, and Dwarves sound unquie and interesting.

Narrator Takes the Cake

The performer made the different Skaven and Dwarfs very distinctive. On par with the Sandman performances, but by one talented narrator.

World class performance

This had me binge listening from start to end wondering how things were to end. A rollercoaster of enjoyment with characters you will root for and others you crave brought low. Buy it or Quick the headtaker may decide to add yours to his trophy rack.

Damn good yes YES!!
