About this listen

The Night Lords are among the most feared Chaos Space Marines in the universe. They prey on their victims from the shadows, stalking the faithful of the False Imperium in their ultimate quest to destroy the Emperor.

The warband of the Exalted, travelling aboard The Covenant of Blood, are recovering from the events at Crythe Primus. But their dark crusade against the loyal Imperial forces continues, and they will leave a trail of blood and terror behind them as they seek the truth behind the death of their primarch, the feared Night Haunter.

I've loved all these books, so I delighted at the discovery of a new one. A great short play. More please!

A joy to return to First Claw

Hail the Lord of the Night! By which I of course mean Aaron Dembski Bowden. Excellent story, well read and with moments of spine tingling horror.

Ave Dominus Nox!

Nuff said. The voices and accents don’t match up with the other audiobooks in the ADV Night Lords series, but this doesn’t detract.

Another near perfect offering from ADB, only marred by unnecessary misogynistic language and disparaging terms for sex workers.

(This could never be my AuDHD, hyperfixated self) Sometimes, the adjacent and side stories for series aren't necessary or essential, and this one might not be exactly essential to the main narrative of this series, but it absolutely is central to Talos and the Night Lords as a whole, as well as being one of the most exquisite audio dramas Black Library has produced.

Talos and First Claw hunt and torture a Callidus Assassin to gain information as to the whereabouts of the recording of the assassination of their progenitor, the Night Haunter.

John Banks and Emma Gregory's performances are fantastic with Banks embuing so much emotion in ADB's wonderful words.

Anything that can make me almost tear up about an unprecedented amount of brutal torturers and murderers marching in the snow is going to get top marks in my book.

Exquisite

For only just over an hour, this book gives you just enough of each character from the Night Lords series and is a fantastic filler story between Soul Hunter and Blood Reaver. Each performance is stellar and while some of the marines lack the hiss in their voices from the main books, I was enthralled from beginning to end. Hearing all that on top of a full soundtrack and very well placed sound effects have me giving this a strong reccomend to anyone looking for more Night Lords especially as a huge fan of the main Dembski-Bowden series.
