Summary

A Warhammer Crime Story

Tormented by his past, Probator Quillon Drask’s reputation as the go-to detective for strange crimes has led him to the Polaris district of Varangantua. Warring families, corrupt officials, and a monstrous hunger stalk these streets, and Drask must overcome his own inner agonies to bring justice to the tormented city.

Listen to it because

See the world of the 41st millennium from street level, in a grisly crime drama that shines a light on what life is like in the Imperium's rancid underbelly.

The story

'This city eats men....'

Quillon Drask is a haunted man, wrestling with the daemons of his past. With a reputation that draws only the strangest cases, he is intimately familiar with the malevolent underbelly of Varangantua. Yet nothing that has gone before could have prepared the probator for the horrors which now blight the district of Polaris.

Faced with a savage crime with frightening implications, Drask is thrust into a game of corruption and conspiracy, warring families and blasphemous revelations. Only by mastering the bitter lessons of his career and his own tortured past can Drask hope to bring the perpetrators to justice, and curb the monstrous hunger which stalks the city.

Written by Marc Collins. Running time 9 hours 52 minutes. Narrated by Richard Reed.

bloody brilliant! Crime and horror

if you like grim dark, you'll be all over this.
Sums up the horror of the 40k, dystopia future. depressingly brilliant fun. Plot line gets you hooked.

One of the best black library & 40k novels I've listened to!

a little confused

this is not the best Warhammer Crime story out there but it is also not the worst.

the biggest issue I feel comes from the author not fully committing to what the story is.....is it a horror story? is it a noir novel? is it a sci fi pulp detective case???

in the end its not really any of the above and just feels like a somewhat toned down version of the best of these kind of stories in the WH40K universe (Eisenhorn series, Ravenor and Bequin).

Good try - and I really do hope that the next Drask book brings something more 😀

Brutal almost horror crime story.

Very grimdark, Grim Repast hits all the darker gritty Warhammer notes just right, well recommended for fans of the Eisenhorn series

Well read.

Protagonist a bit of a navel gazer. Relationships a bit sentimental, overall a bit indulgent. But still enjoyable. Recommended with reservations.

Great fun, good character

My second favourite probator after Zidarov. Good world building for Varangantua, its China Town Quillan!

Another WH crime hit

I have fallen in love with these crime stories set in the hive city of Varengantua and can not get enough of them. A must read for any fan of WH or crime and thrillers in general.

Decent read, But has to hit its stride.

Overall I enjoyed the book, the performance was like the story. It started a little messy and felt sometimes rather boring, but was very enjoyable when it hit its stride. This is a book you have to stick with for it to really get good so I’d definitely say give it a try, and stick with it.
