About this listen

Book one in the Ahriman series.

Cast out of his Legion, the sorcerer Ahriman, who condemned the Thousand Sons to an eternity of damnation, plots his return to power and the destruction of his foes.

Listen to it because: experience the beginning of an epic, time-twisting saga of revenge, betrayal and attempted atonement. John French takes the Ahriman you know and love from the Horus Heresy in new and interesting directions, making him both deeply sympathetic and thoroughly evil.

The story: all is dust.... Spurned by his former brothers and his father, Magnus the Red, Ahriman is a wanderer, a sorcerer of Tzeentch whose actions condemned an entire Legion to an eternity of damnation. Once a vaunted servant of the Thousand Sons, he is now an outcast, a renegade who resides in the Eye of Terror. Ever scheming, he plots his return to power and the destruction of his enemies, an architect of fate and master of the warp.

Written by John French. Narrated by Mark Elstob.

This book is awesome!
Not only does it give a rare look into what life is like for those who have fallen to chaos (it’s not fun) but it also follows one of the most interesting anti-heroes in the 40k universe. There is a good mix of action, sorcery and betrayal. If you loved the thousand sons novels and wondered what happened next, look no further. This book is so, so good.

A note about the narrator:
Audiobooks can live or die on the strength of their narrators.

I’ve listened to almost all the 30k/40k audio books now and I have to say that Mark Elstob ranks up there with veterans like Toby Longworth and Johnathan Keeble. I really enjoyed his character voices - he’s got the chaos sorcerers and the fallen space marines to a T. I am looking forward to his reading of the rest of this series!!
