Book one of the End Times.

As the forces of Chaos threaten to drown the world in madness, Mannfred von Carstein and Arkhan the Black put aside their difference and plot to resurrect their dark master: Nagash.

The original bad guy of the Warhammer World returns for the End Times, ready to destroy the land of the living and begin a new age of undeath. If you like Warhammer, this is a must-have - nothing that has ever happened within the Old World or without has been more pivotal to the future of the world.

The story:

The End Times are coming. As the forces of Chaos threaten to drown the world in madness, Mannfred von Carstein and Arkhan the Black put aside their difference and plot to resurrect the one being with the power to stand against the servants of the Ruinous Powers and restore order to the world - the Great Necromancer himself. As they set about gathering artefacts to use in their dark ritual, armies converge on Sylvania, intent on stopping them. But Arkhan and Mannfred are determined to complete their task. No matter the cost, Nagash must rise again.

Written by Josh Reynold. Narrated by Andrew James Spooner.

As a fan of the Vampire Counts and Mannfred von Carstein in particular, for me this book was a real treat. Loved the epic sweep, the haunted atmosphere, the displays of magical prowess. Mannfred is a great character and I also found myself really liking Arkhan the Black. Josh Reynolds' narrative is well structured and something about the way he describes magic and battles in the Warhammer world just works. The narration by Andrew Spooner is also top notch! My only complaint is that the book was too short and some important events were only mentioned instead of being properly presented in the story. Personally, I would have preferred it if the book was longer and the author took more time to expand some existing scenes and to add a few additional new ones, but that is just me.

A somewhat rushed but deeply satisfying listen

Loved this book so much, i've only listened to the warhammer novels so far and this one is by far my favorite. All characters you know from the game and lore is mentioned in some way or another and it was a wonderfull experience. The voice actor was remarkable and threw me in to the world of warhammer right from the begining to the end.

Ever since my pre teens, I have loved Warhammer, but never read the stories. I loved The Return of Nagash and I can not wait for The Fall of Altdorf to be addad to audible.

Incredible story

First 3rd is slow but definitely makes up for it in the latter parts of the story.

Great narration!

Very enjoyable albeit confusing at times given the various characters. Without spoiling the end, I think I had hoped for a different outcome especially when so much was frequently based on a deflected death thrust from a sword or lance.

Great to see so many other armies and characters
