Summary
Winner of the Readers' Choice Poll.
Hell has come to Hydra Cordatus. A massive force of terrifying Iron Warriors have invaded the planet and laid siege to its mighty Imperial citadel. Can the defenders hold out? And just what do these ancient traitors want with such a seemingly insignificant world?
Listen to it because....
It's one of the true Black Library classics, and one of the first novels to make the bad guys the heroes...and it introduced the mighty Warsmith Honsou, who went on to plague the Ultramarines across plenty of novels. It also pits the Iron Warriors against their oldest foes, the Imperial Fists, which is always a guarantee of quality action.
The story:
On the nightmare battlefields of the far future, few foes spark more fear and dread than the Chaos Space Marines. Nurturing a hatred that is millennia-old, they attack without mercy, spreading terror and destruction in their wake. Now hell has come to Hydra Cordatus, for a massive force of terrifying Iron Warriors, the brutal assault masters of Chaos, have invaded the planet and lain siege to its mighty Imperial citadel. But what prize could possibly be worth so much savage bloodshed and destruction—and how long can the defenders possibly hold out?
Written by Graham McNeill. Narrated by Michael Geary. Approximate running time 11 hours and 4 minutes.

Love the story
Especially guardsman hawk! Had the book for a while and was looking forward to the audio at long last, did not engage with the narrator, I found him not to my taste but I am sure others will like him

A fierce and monsterous anime
The heading of this review was a line in the book. Yes it was pronounced that way. 10/10 best narrator, would sack his duck.

Chaos vs Imperium at it's finest
The characters were compelling, interesting and believable. Especially some if the guard's leadership. Engaging a chaos marine with a blade when you're a mortal human is brave on a new level.

Cool heretic story
Performance was 3/5 due to many of the voices sounding quite similar.
The story itself was great, an awesome tug of war between the iron warriors and imperials as they fought tooth and nail over the secret plunder of Hydra Cordatus.
His descriptions are amazing, helps you visualise the moment to moment action. Some parts of the story did seem to drag a little bit.

Nostalgic, but doesn’t quite hold up
I’ve got a first edition of this on a shelf and loved it as a kid. Hearing the story again, it becomes clear that it is literally just a series of (well done) siege based action scenes with not much else. Only Hawke and Forrix have any real character development and every one else is kind of bland. I think it would really work well as a graphic novel, as the scale of the siege is very well described. Also the narrator is a bit bland with a lot of the voices but wasn’t terrible. It’s nice to have a solid chaos focused story.

A great introduction to the Iron Warriors in 40k
Firstly, I love how well this book captures the siege warfare which the Iron Warriors are known for - The author goes into painstaking detail while still moving the story forward.
Despite not being the focus of the book, the characterisation of the various Imperial Guardsmen stood out to me - they aren't just bolter fodder. The Iron Warriors themselves struck me as slightly shallower, being fairly standard Chaos space marines in their motivations and actions (scheming, raging at imperium etc) but they were still compelling.
The narration is stellar, with the narrator using a variety of tones and inflections to differentiate between characters.

Justice to a classic
Storm of Iron is one of my favourite Black Library books from my first steps into the written lore. It was as much of a pleasure to listen to as it was to read over a decade ago.
Michael Geary really seems to understand the weight of these characters from Honsou, Forrix, Guardsman Hawk, and even the Warsmith, and channels these personalities magnificently. I’d love to hear him read more of the Iron Warriors stories, and even more Chaos Marines books (Word Bearers Omnibus please)

A classic 40K story
The Iron Warriors are perfect in this classic story from the distant mists of 3rd edition 40K. If you love the spiky boys in black and yellow, then this is a must read.
