As Pavonis descends into political turmoil, Uriel and his warriors must battle the xenos as they unravel a plot to unleash an ancient evil buried deep beneath the world - the mysterious and deadly Nightbringer.

Ain’t no Toby Longworth
Great planetary intrigue story read by a narrator better suited to childrens stories. Shame as I noticed he reads the next in the series too.

Great introduction to 40k
Not too complicate story for newcomer, however there are so many titles and names that could get newcomer confuse.

An enguaging story well narrated
I read this series of books some years ago now and when I saw the black library audio was on Audible hoped it would be there, but no luck. Then I spotted them recently during one of the innumerable sales and snapped up the first two without a second thought.
Having just completed this first in the series, I am happy to say it is a solid story with one or two interesting twists and, for me at least, well narrated. I noticed some reviews found Bruce's narration poor, but I have listened to a hundred or more audio books now and found this one easy to listen to, so no complaints from me.
The story is not perfect but it contains a good mixture of politics and action. It can get tiring when the books spend too much time with the space marines and their experiences (and battles) and I appreciate it when the story takes time to build up a variety of main characters in their own settings before throwing them all in to the mix for what is usually an explosive finale. Here we find ourselves following an Adept of the Imperium, the Planetary Governor, opposition leaders, the Adeptus Arbites as well as Uriel Ventris and his Space Marines as the story unfolds.
Overall a book I would recommend and will be listening to again in the future.

Incredible narrator
Hire this narrator for more books. Give McNiel less important jobs. He's good for workdbuilding, not paying off big plot points.

Engaging book
A good ultramarines story without being overly cringe. Story had some good intrigue and moments. The narrator is good, but they spoke too quickly. I listed to the book at 0.85 and it was a much better experience. There were a few other audio issues but nothing massively disengaging. Seems like the issue is with the editing rather than the narrator. Likely a book I’ll listen to again in a few years.
