About this listen
Book one in the Forges of Mars series.
An Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator fleet ventures beyond the borders of the Imperium in pursuit of arcane technology. Who knows what perils may lie outside the dominion of mankind?
Listen to it because: it's a novel like nothing else from Black Library. Graham McNeill crafts a tale that only he could tell, beginning a mind-bending saga of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Chaos and more besides.
The story: legend tells of a foolhardy expedition, led by the radical Magos Telok, that ventured out into the unknown space beyond the Halo Worlds in search of the 'Breath of the Gods' - an arcane device with the power to unmake and reshape the very stars themselves. Thousands of years later, the ambitious Lexell Kotov musters his Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator fleet and sets out to follow in mad old Telok's footsteps. With the might of the Imperial Guard and the Space Marines to augment his own forces, he searches for the hidden clues that will lead him to greatest power that the galaxy has ever known. But who knows what ancient perils may yet lie outside the Imperium and the dominion of mankind?
Written by Graham McNeill. Narrated by Joe Jameson.

Somewhat boring
Nothing happens in this until it does, and then it's over.
It's just so annoying when you want the story to progress and it doesn't for the 75% of the book. It's an interesting premise, then it goes on and on and on and on and then it's just stupid.
If you like AdMech, you should rather get the Horus Heresy book Mechanicum, you get a decent book with a lot more content.

Cockney Space Marines! (but give it a go)
I was a bit reluctant to go for this book, based on some of the negative reviews. However, I was pleasantly surprised... The narrator's voice doesn't really work for space marines and some other minor characters, but it has a weedling, annoyed quality that really suits the senior members of the Adeptus Mechanicus. I'll definitely read the next one.

a setup for the series.
This book is to create a setup for the rest but It did make me interested, the narrator is doing his best but it's not fitting for the story

solid entertainment
A well paced story with plenty of well fleshed out characters pardon the pun. Given that some of them are cult mechanics.

Middling
I struggled to finish this. Story seemed to just meander and some of the voices used were quite grated 😞

Good story but without a proper ending.
Interesting story, but the ending is not satisfactory, unless there will be more books in the series.

Decent start
Interesting characters, good setup, descriptions can be a bit long but otherwise a good foundation. Which is the issue it all feels like setup for a grand adventure to come.
Otherwise there are moments where the recording repeats a phrase which is annoying, the narrator himself is pretty good though.
