About this listen

A Warhammer 40,000 Audio Anthology

It is the thirty-second millennium and the Imperium is at peace. The Traitor Legions of Chaos are but a distant memory and the many alien races that have long plagued mankind are held in check by the Space Marines.

But an ork invasion of unparalleled scale throws the Imperium into disarray. As worlds burn and renowned Space Marine Chapters are destroyed, can the Imperium pull together to defeat the Beast?

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

This audio collection kicks off Black Library's epic The Beast Arises saga. Discover what happens as, after centuries of peace, the Imperium is suddenly thrown into panic, human worlds everywhere are menaced by orks, and a huge new threat emerges.

THE STORIES

I Am Slaughter

When a mission to exterminate a xenos breed on the world of Ardamantua draws in more of their forces, the Imperial Fists abandon the walls of Terra for the first time in more than a thousand years. When another, greater, foe strikes, even the heroic sons of Rogal Dorn may be powerless against it. The Beast Arises… and it is mighty.

Written by Dan Abnett. Narrated by Gareth Armstrong.

Running time 5 hours and 23 minutes approx.

Predator, Prey

In a relentless tide of slaughter, ork attack moons destroy planet after planet with gravity weapons of unstoppable power. On Terra, the High Lords are paralysed by the scale of the threat, and fail to take any effective action. With entire Space Marine Chapters missing, or known to have been wiped out, does anyone have the will and the power to rise to the Imperium’s defence?

Written by Rob Sanders. Narrated by Gareth Armstrong.

Running time 6 hours and 27 minutes approx.

The Emperor Expects

As ork ships lay waste to world after world, heading inexorably towards Terra, Imperial citizens despair. The High Lords become desperate to prove that victory is possible, no matter the cost. A massive Navy fleet is assembled – their mission to make a definitive strike against the orks at Port Sanctus, an area of enemy-held space. But when the Imperial armada arrives, they find themselves outclassed and outmanoeuvred – can human courage and faith possibly prevail against such terrible odds?

Written by Gav Thorpe. Narrated by Gareth Armstrong.

Running time 5 hours and 31 minutes approx.

I've read many Warhammer books, this is the first time I've tried an audio book, was blown away by it and the narrator had perfect delivery, voice and style to keep an engaging pace and build tension. I have the remaining audiobooks in the series too and glad to see it's the same narrator for all of them (so annoying when narrator changes mid series and quality gets worse)

Amazing start to the series, outstanding narrator
