About this listen

An Adepta Sororitas audiobook.

When a mission of Battle Sisters return to a desolate world to reconsecrate a remote Ecclesiarchy outpost, they soon discover an implacable foe - the fearless, soulless necrons - waiting in the darkness....

Listen to It Because:

Discover what happened after the massacre at Sanctuary 101, where Sisters of Battle were decimated in the first appearance of the necrons. This novel delves into the aftermath, pitting the devout Sisters against the ancient aliens once more.

The Story:

The Sisters of Battle are the Emperor's most devout worshippers, fierce warriors preaching the purity of the Imperium and scourging their enemies with bolter and flamer. On a distant world, the Ecclesiarchy outpost of Sanctuary 101 was wiped out by an implacable foe - the fearless, soulless necrons. Now, a mission of the Sisterhood has returned to reconsecrate the site - but the metallic nightmares still lurk in the darkness, guarding a secret that has lain dormant for millennia. A vicious battle will be fought, one that can only end in the total destruction of the unrelenting xenos or the annihilation of the proud Adepta Sororitas.

Written by James Swallow. Narrated by Emma Gregory.

Emma Gregory made a decent story a great listen it's really that simple. I had not previously listened to anything narrated by her and was a bit unsure to begin but she was excellent and brought the character's to life.

really enjoyed listening to this, especially straight after the previous installment.
With that in mind it was slightly jarring at first to hear the narrator pronounce the main characters name differently from when she read it in the previous book.
otherwise I loved it!

gripping and well delivered

Hot on the heels of finishing Faith and Fire, I jumped straight into Hammer and Anvil. Although Hammer and Anvil has some great voice acting and really sucks it to the Adeptus Mechanicum - or parts of it. The story, at times, seems to drag a little with wavering pacing and a few dull scenes.

Recommended as worth a listen as, overall, the enjoyment factor and more lively parts of the story help balance everything out - but if you have not already, make sure to check out some of the other Sisters of Battle titles too.
