About this listen
Book one in the Ahriman series.
Cast out of his Legion, the sorcerer Ahriman, who condemned the Thousand Sons to an eternity of damnation, plots his return to power and the destruction of his foes.
Listen to it because: experience the beginning of an epic, time-twisting saga of revenge, betrayal and attempted atonement. John French takes the Ahriman you know and love from the Horus Heresy in new and interesting directions, making him both deeply sympathetic and thoroughly evil.
The story: all is dust.... Spurned by his former brothers and his father, Magnus the Red, Ahriman is a wanderer, a sorcerer of Tzeentch whose actions condemned an entire Legion to an eternity of damnation. Once a vaunted servant of the Thousand Sons, he is now an outcast, a renegade who resides in the Eye of Terror. Ever scheming, he plots his return to power and the destruction of his enemies, an architect of fate and master of the warp.
Written by John French. Narrated by Mark Elstob.

Forced and annoying voices
Reader fakes voices to the point of annoyance eg the navigator. Compared to other voice actors reading for Black Library.

Narration was hard to get through
Some of the voices just didn't work. Almost didn't finish it. Won't be continuing the series anytime soon

Mediocre
I've read this trilogy of books and consider them to be average at best with a few decent plot twists and character arcs. However. the narration on this book kills it for me. The characters sound like pantomime villains and have excruciatingly nasal voices. I honestly found it hard to take the story in and struggled to finish this. The recent choice of narrators for Black Library novels seems to be very lacklustre and ill-thought out. It simply didn't suit this type of story.

Awesome story with some bad voice acting
I really enjoyed the story, it paints very colorful pictures of battles, scenes and characters. The narration is great, it has emotion, the actor's normal voice is enjoyable. The part that sucks is the voice acting. Ahriman's voice is a bit annoying, with a hint of "scheming villan" forced into it. The female techpriest's voice makes you want to claw your ears out. The overacted "Gollum-like" tone of one of the chaos sorcerer is unbearable. Why are you trying to imitate echoing or reverbing voices instead of adding digital effects? Some additional voice actors would have solved these issues.

A good look into Ahriman
In this book you get a really good look into what Ahrimans thought process is. Also you get to see him grow immensely and find himself after the ruins of the rubric. This is a really good book with a good supporting cast and a great narrator

The reader has about 1687 voices!
Great story, a must be for Thousand Sons enthusiasts. And it's being read by one man with about 1963 voices. Give or take... 7. A completely mind blowing performance.

Terrible voices
Honestly the story is brilliant.
The voice acting is sub par for the main characters and borderline absurd for others making it difficult to want to pay attention and not skip parts.
