About this listen

Book 10 in the Gaunt's Ghosts series.

Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt returns with the Tanith First to a world that he promised to save, only to find that years of war and the ever-present taint of Chaos may have damaged it beyond redemption.

Listen to it because....

It's a triumphant return to Gereon. Gaunt promised to liberate the planet from the forces of Chaos, and now he's back to keep his word. But as is ever the way for the Tanith, tragedy will be mingled with triumph as the war on Gereon grinds on...

The story:

Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt spent a year fighting as part of the underground resistance on the enemy-held world of Gereon. When he left, he promised that he would bring the forces of the Imperium to liberate Gereon's citizens from their oppressors. Now he has returned, a crusade army at his back, but he finds a world devastated by war and a people irrevocably damaged by the taint of Chaos. Now Gaunt must fight to save Gereon not only from the enemy, but from the Imperium itself.

Ten Books In!

Ten books in and Dan Abnett's story of the Tanith First and Only is as strong as it has ever been. It was a fantastic experience to catch up with my favourite characters once again and worry for them as they power through a new warzone. I cannot wait for audible to release the remaining books in this format so that I may read along! This book truly encapsulates the atmosphere of a claustrophobic warzone and splits its perspective between several character-casts well. And, my god, what a horrific emotional gut-stab at the end. What a great send off and a fantastic way to end the book leaving us wanting more!
Men of Tanith, do you want to Read Forever?

Please complete the series with Toby Longworth

This is my most re-listened to series on audible. The original material is brilliant and Toby's performances really bring everything together. Please keep them coming and please rerecord and complete the set with Toby as narrator!
