About this listen

A Warhammer Crime audio

Murder in the neutral zone between Imperial and Adeptus Mechanicus territory sets Probator Symeon Noctis on a dangerous investigation.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Discover tensions between Imperial servants on Varangantua as an extremely odd pair of detectives seek to solve a murder.

THE STORY

Born into riches, Probator Symeon Noctis attempts to atone for his past sins by championing the powerless of Nearsteel district. But the sprawling city of Varangantua is uncaring of its masses, and when a bisected corpse is discovered in the neutral zone between Nearsteel and the Adeptus Mechanicus enclave of Steelmound, Noctis finds himself cast into his most dangerous case yet.

Partnering with the tech-priest Rho-1 Lux of the Collegiate Extremis, Noctis is drawn into a murky world of tech-heresy, illegal servitors, and exploitation that could end his career, or his life.

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by James Mcnaughton and Katie Maw. Running time approx 9 hours 23 minutes

This is a familiar trope used in many crime books the main difference here that it is set in the Warhammer universe, it’s an entertaining listen and I enjoyed it but the use of the first person narration meant far too many “I said, he said” which after a while became annoying, personally I prefer Chris Wraights telling of life in this world, i had not heard this narrator before and he did a really good job and kept the interest alive

I think I enjoyed Bloodlines more, I could relate to the downtrodden middle aged guy more, this is pretty strong, with good performances from both leads.

Where it leaves you at the end, you definitely want more, a great cliffhanger.

I'd buy the next one.

Pretty good, slow burn

I really enjoyed this departure from the usual 40K novel of endless war between superhuman soldiers. This novel gives you a decent cyberpunk crime story wrapped in 40K settings. I’m looking forward to the sequel.

Gritty crime

Interesting characters, good use of perspective and an exciting and intriguing look into underhive life and the hypocrisy of the ruling hive elite. Highly recommended.

A great listen!
