About this listen

Audiobook two of the Chronicles of Uriel Ventris

The Great Devourer is descending on the world of Tarsis Ultra, but to defeat the xenos horrors, Captain Uriel Ventris may have to embark upon a dangerous and unorthodox mission.

Listen to it because: it's a classic tale of the Space Marines against tyranids...with a twist. Conventional tactics fail, the Ultramarines way of war is insufficient...but if he uses other means to win the war, Uriel Ventris may lose far more.

The story: the Ultramarines are the epitome of a Space Marine Chapter. Warriors without peer, their name is a byword for discipline and honour, and their heroic deeds are legendary. The Great Devourer is descending on the world of Tarsis Ultra, a world under the protection of the Ultramarines. Captain Uriel Ventris and his warriors - allied with their barbaric cousins from the Mortifactors Chapter - rally the forces of the planet to defend against the tyranids. But to defeat the xenos horrors, Uriel may have to turn his back on the Ultramarines' teachings and embark upon a dangerous and unorthodox mission.

This edition also includes the prequel short story 'Leviathan', which sees Ventris and his Ultramarines board a space hulk an encounter the vanguard of the hive fleets: the feared genestealers.

Written by Graham McNeill. Running time 10 hours six minutes. Narrated by Bruce Mackinnon.

Better than the first book!

I enjoyed the pacing of this story, as well as the narration. It portrayed an in depth experience with Uriel at the head of it.

Amazingly great 40K book!

I thought this was a fantastic 40K, Space Marine, and Ultramarine book! Better than the first in my opinion. Some great interactions between different Space Marine chapters and the Imperial Guard too. Fun, exciting, and occasionally gross battle scenes keep it punchy along with some interesting world building and 40k lore. Don’t sleep on the Ventris series!

Epic story with a predictable end.

The story was well written and the voicing was good. I love these stories of Uriel and this had a bonus of including void war with tyranids.

Awkward narration

The writing was somewhat awkward in parts, like particular words being used too many times close together, but fine overall.
The narrator would often mess up inflections or the quality would change from spliced editing which hurt the immersion.

Good story / weird audio issuss

There are several occurances of weird audio issues where it sounds like they had to do retakes, but they are completely different tonally and, like they were recorded in an echoing bathroom. it's really jarring. the book is good though.

Sporadic disruptive voice echoing

The book is amazing. The narrator sounds great most of the time but then it sounds like he’s far away from the mic and echoing from time to time. The lack of quality control and professional apathy is impossible to ignore while listening.

It’s almost as if they hired the actor to read and then told him he’s also the editor and had only enough time to attempt one recording before submitting a complete book to audible by the end of the day.
