About this listen

A Genestealer Cults Audiobook

Members of a seemingly loyal cult devoted to the Emperor make a pilgrimage to the world on which their order began. What they find there puts all they believe into question.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a typically thoughtful and bizarre tale from Peter Fehervari that exposes just how insidious and devastating Genestealer Cults can be.

THE STORY

The galaxy is vast, and worship of the God-Emperor by His faithful takes many forms. The Spiral Dawn is one of the countless sanctioned sects of the Imperial Cult. As a gathering of Spiralytes make their holy pilgrimage to Redemption, the sect's world of origin and a shrine world of the Imperium, they find not a haven of enlightenment and introspection, but a soot-choked hellhole where their order's founders and an unorthodox regiment of Astra Militarum maintain an uneasy coexistence. As tensions between the serene congregation and the superstitious Guardsmen mount, the new arrivals begin to unravel the dark secrets concealed at the heart of their faith.

He writes 40k unlike any other author. I've gone through all his stuff, it's great.

Good story, with decent amount of twists, but something of the horror and interconnectivity from the other stories in the Spiral Dawn series was missing. The voice actor's performance is ace tho.

Good but not as fascinating as the others

So I have finally read/listened to everything from Peter Fehervari for BL... and I must admit, he is one of my two favourite authors there (other one being Dan Abnett). No one has better captured nighmarish reality of being human in 40k. Confusing story?... Your attention will be rewarded. Perfect delivery by Helen Keeley. Highly recommended.

Absolutely brilliant

A great story with interesting characters and plots. I had to reduce the playback speed a little bit to make it more enjoyable.

A great tale

Requires some effort to not to be irritated by the absence of a good or even tangible or compelling or cohesive plot. Did I drift off? Or did I miss what happened to all the loose ends?? I’m going to have another listen or maybe I’ll google it to find out.. one listen didn’t do it for me maybe I should have tried harder.. no wait a mo…
