About this listen

A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook

In the grim darkness of the far future, the galaxy burns as its disparate races fight for resources, territory, and divine purpose. The Imperium faces threats both alien and heretic, and the touch of the warp is ever a moment from seeping into reality, with deadly consequences. Survival is earned in blood.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a chance to see the 41st Millennium through the eyes of the lowly soldiers whose actions keep the nightmares of the galaxy at bay, including several from xenos races! Featuring tales from fan-favourite Black Library authors and writers new to the Warhammer 40,000 setting, these short stories are a great way to explore the galaxy from the comfort and safety of your armchair.

THE STORY

Darkness Eternal runs the gamut of the Warhammer 40,000 setting, featuring tales from Nate Crowley, Justin D Hill, Peter Fehervari, and many more. With a diverse range of characters from across dozens of factions, Darkness Eternal takes us into the worlds of the savage kroot, the ravenous tyranids, and the avaricious Leagues of Votann – and examines the Imperium of Man’s struggle for primacy against them all.

In One Million Years, the Kin of the Leagues of Votann surround a necron ship, and it is up to a lowly apprentice cryptek to rally the undying legions and fend off the assault.

Altar of Maws sees battling armies of waterborne t'au and Imperial forces on Phaedra unwittingly disturb a monstrous Chaos creature that has slumbered for centuries.

The Light of the Emperor follows Apothecary Biologis Vultis of the Ultramarines as he educates a pious, inflexible preacher on the value of science and knowledge while a tyranid swarm closes in.

The infamous Black Ships ferry imprisoned psykers to Terra from across the Imperium, to feed the astronomican. The Devouring Void explores what happens when one Black Ship drifts too close to the edge of a hive fleet's warp-shadow, finding itself stranded in realspace and under alien assault.

Own Worst Enemy features the legendary pilot Lucille von Shard facing off against an unusual and deadly foe on the Great Grass Plains. Behind the controls of the enemy craft is a rookie, and death seems to follow wherever he flies.

Arcady Pride is set in the immediate aftermath of Traitor Rock – Minka Lesk drinks with Blanchez and Yedrin in the ruins of the city they've finally conquered, telling somewhat sanitised stories of old Cadia.

When the t’au bring down an Imperial Navy Lightning Strike Fighter, Major Wulf Khan must venture deep behind enemy lines in Nightsider Imperialis. Will Khan rescue the pilot before they – and the secrets they carry – fall into xenos hands?

A Forbidden Meal stars a kroot shaper as he tries his best to guide the evolution of his kindred.

In Eradicant, a squad of Tempestus Scions is deployed on a covert mission to rescue the planetary governor of a planet fallen to Chaos.

The Convocation follows an Imperial Navy team who uncovers a genestealer infestation upon a bulk freighter – can they cleanse the alien taint?

A former ganger visits her home planet in Stealing Orpheon, and engages old contacts to carry out a daring heist and retrieve precious information.

Lessons of Rorphax features the Tome Keepers 5th Company as they are reforged after devastating losses at the hands of the orks.

Finally, Devilhunter stars Takka, who is part of an advanced, elite strike force formed by the t'au empire to track and eliminate tyranid vanguard organisms. To safeguard their sept, he and his crew will have to venture into deadly jungles in pursuit of unknown prey.

Some great Tyranid stuff, and some interesting kroot lore. Nice overall but I wanted a bit more.

Nice but short

A good sample of short stories from across the 40K universe.
Some better than others but all of them worth listening to wither you’re new to the lore or a hardcore fan.

Excellent selection

If this is the current quality of BL short stories then it is indeed Darkness Eternal, there are 2 possibly 3 that are worthy of a anthology but overall very disappointing and the male narrator was competent but lacked the gravitas and range of Keeble or longworth, do better BL

Darkness indeed
