About this listen

After the success of their desperate mission to Salvation's Reach, Colonel Commissar Gaunt and the Tanith First race to the strategically vital forge world of Urdesh, besieged by the brutal armies of Anarch Sek. However, there may be more at stake than just a planet. The Imperial forces have made an attempt to divide and conquer their enemy, but with Warmaster Macaroth himself commanding the Urdesh campaign, it is possible that the Archenemy assault has a different purpose to decapitate the Imperial command structure with a single blow. Has the Warmaster allowed himself to become an unwitting target? And can Gaunt's Ghosts possibly defend him against the assembled killers and war machines of Chaos?

Loved it, one of Abnetts best Gaunt stories to date. nice to get a glimpse at the Imperial Guard high command.

a homerun

it's more Gaunt's ghosts - if you liked the previous ones you'll probably like this too. I did. There's not a lot more to say this far into the series. If you haven't read/heard the earlier entries start there.

The narrator does a great job when narrating, a solid job when voicing Gaunt or the main ghosts, and should (unfortunately) never be asked to do voices for women and children ever again for the love of the throne. The otherwise good reading lapses into pantomime.

Reliable.content but patchy delivery

It's been awhile since I last read a gaunts ghosts novel but was very enjoyable. Dan Abnett doesn't pull the punches but without jeapody there is no excitement. Narration was good.

More losses for the ghosts

a decent entry but not the best in the series

great stuff as always. Action and characters you love and hate. And love to hate.
big surprises and some real shifts that keep the ongoing series feeling fresh.
please don't make us wait so long for the next one.
I'm getting old. I might die soon. I want to read the end of the story

Amazing as always

I’ll start and say I didn’t mind the change or narration for the previous book it was odd but I got my head around it. But this one is trickier! I really struggled with the narration. Gaunt sounds wrong, Ludd like a child, Verghast nothing like the other books, and the remaining Ghosts, or the female characters well….

Great scene setting story though….onto the next one!

Great story….tough narration

I read some other reviews that portray this book as a filler of sorts, personally I really enjoyed it and even though the narration initially put me off I soon warmed to the way it was told

Better than reviews suggest

one of the best Warhammer 40k books out there very well done but the ending seem a bit quick but it is a 14 hours long any longer most people would get bored so it can't be helped and the ending is open for there to be a 2nd book

stunning

Great book but the Audible recording cuts off a few lines of important dialogue off the end of 'The Warmaster' chapter.

Great book
