About this listen

A Deathwatch novel.

Talon Squad return to action, hunting for a missing inquisitor on a world that has been claimed by the T'au Empire - but has their quarry been taken or defected to the Greater Good?

Listen to it because: It's the long-awaited sequel to Deathwatch and is packed with the high-octane alien-hunting action you've come to expect from Steve Parker.

The story: The Deathwatch are the elite of the elite - small teams of Space Marines handpicked for special missions that require the utmost courage and cunning. Now recovered from the injuries sustained on his previous mission, Codicier Karras must lead Talon Squad in the hunt for a missing inquisitor. Their only clue is the name of an Imperial planet that has been taken over by the T’au. Is the missing inquisitor alive or dead? Worse still, has she gone rogue, jeopardising one of the Inquisition’s most secret projects?

Karras must lead his team against a whole planet of hostile T’au and survive the deadly internal politics of the Inquisition to succeed in his mission, code named Shadowbreaker.

Action, intrigue and excitement are seamlessly woven together by the master of high-octane science fiction, Steve Parker.

Written by Steve Parker. Audiobook running time 16 hours and 37 minutes. Narrated by Andrew Wincott.

Excellent

Overall a good book, the first couple of hours feel like they could have been condensed a little but it was enjoyable all the same. Some way into the book I realised this was actually a sequel, as it referred to events in the book prior to this "Deathwatch", which I can't find on audible sadly.

Slow build, good finish

I found the story very intriguing, and excellent in a few places. I could definitely tell what the author was going for with the first quarter of the book but I feel it was a little bloated and could have done with a bit more editing. Still I'm not unhappy with this one, I love the characters and it's good to see them back. hopefully this gets a follow up as the ending has left me wanting to know what happens next.

Worth a listen
