About this listen

A Warhammer Crime novel.

An investigation into a missing member of a wealthy family leads Probator Agusto Zidarov into a web of lies and danger amidst the criminal cartels of Varangantua. As the net closes in, Zidarov falls further into darkness from which he may never return....

Listen to it because: take a step into the murky underworld of the 41st Millennium through the eyes of a lawman in a gargantuan city whose investigation leads him into darkness and danger.

The story: in the immense city of Varangantua, life is cheap, but mistakes are expensive. When Probator Agusto Zidarov of the city’s enforcers is charged with locating the missing scion of a wealthy family, he knows full well that the chances of finding him alive are slight. The people demanding answers, though, are powerful and ruthless, and he is soon immersed in a world of criminal cartels and corporate warfare where even an enforcer’s survival is far from guaranteed. As he follows the evidence deeper into the city’s dark underbelly, he discovers secrets that have been kept hidden by powerful hands. As the net closes in on both him and his quarry, he is forced to confront just what measures some people are willing to take in order to stay alive....

Written by Chris Wraight. Narrated by Charles Armstrong.

This is a cyberpunk noire story dressed in Warhammer 40k clothes, but it works perfectly. Love how it shows normal civilian life in hive world. What they do beside work work work. What music they listen to etc. Recommended to any warhammer 40k fan.

One of the Best Warhammer 40k story.

A classic detective style story with plenty of twists and turns in the 40K universe. What’s not to like?

Really great thriller.

This is my first warhammer universe book and I enjoyed it a lot! I will definitely be on the lookout for future warhammer crime novels.

Narration is great, I tend to listen to audible on 1.20x speed so at first this narration felt a little too fast. But after the first chapter it felt perfect.

The protagonist is the highlight of the book, Zidarov is well written and fleshed out with neuances.

Overall, great distraction from non fiction books!

Great cyberpunky detective noir story.

If you wanted Eisenhorn to be a little more rooted in Imperial life, then this is for you. Terrific insight into the seediness and drudgery of civilian life in the 40k universe.

Chris Wraight's writing reminds us that, behind all the 'barking boltguns' and marauding xenos, there are countless planets of regular humans just trying to make things work. Combined with mystery and intrigue, this story makes grimdark seem much more organic.

Charles Armstrong's performance strikes the right tone, reflecting the writer's sober style. Characters are differentiated without Armstrong's performance becoming pantomime.

Only downside is that it felt relatively short compared to the depth of material. Ideally Wraight will return to this world soon.

Excellent start for Warhammer Crime

An exciting view at parts of the setting that we don't get to see very often. Less of a murder mystery than I had hoped but works really well as a grimdark police thriller. Looking forward to the next part.

Wraight is quickly becoming my favourite BL author
