Summary
War rages in the Caradryad Sector. Worlds are falling to madness and rebellion, and the great war machine of the Imperium is moving to counter the threat. Amongst its agents is Inquisitor Covenant. Puritan, psyker, expert swordsman, he reserves an especial hatred for those of his order who would seek to harness the power of Ruin as a weapon.
Summoned to an inquisitorial conclave, Covenant believes he has uncovered such a misguided agent and prepares to denounce the heretic Talicto before his fellows. But when the gathering is attacked and many left dead in its wake, Covenant vows to hunt down Talicto and discover the truth behind the mysterious cult apparently at the heart of the massacre, the Unseen. In the murky plot into which he is drawn, Covenant knows only one thing for certain: trust no one.

Complex story with lots of characters - a bit of struggle to follow on the commute
Great performance and a lot of characters. However, I struggled to keep up and remember what was going on while listening on the commute.

Didn't care about any one character
after 7 hours in a got a refund, I have listed to a lot of 40k books and this is one am glad I got my money/credit back on, found the characters boring and uninteresting.

Disappointed
Pretty dull and forgettable to be honest. Just 3 battles with some vague plot padding in between. Barely any real characters. Hopefully the next one will be an improvement.

Thoroughly entertaining.
This actually being the very first audiobook I have listened to, I began this novel quite skeptical but very quickly found myself swept up in the storyline following Covenant's hunt for Talicto, and really enjoyed the experience.
John Bank's narration is at times quite hysterical, but he breathes life into even the coldest of the book's characters, and though the plot is certainly fast paced, one quickly comes to grips with the various flavours of personality that comprise the inquisitorial war bands.
Really though, it was the periodic comic relief that is Cleander von Castellan that earns this review the last star!

Well read but story and characters not engaging
Good narration, weak plot, mostly forgettable characters. Main hero very dull and one-note. Action heavy

Excellent
John French has forged a fascinating insight into the internecine conflicts of the inquisition within Imperium Nihilus. Covenant and the supporting characters are very well realised. Superb voice acting. Highly recommended.

Not what I expected!
I'll be honest, I have thus far really enjoyed all of the Warhammer 40k books, why this one in particular? It's an Inquisition story, so plot twists, secrets within lies and the truth when you least expect it.
Listen to it if you are a fan of Inquisition stories, if not listen to it because the story and characters will hook you..
