Summary

Book one of the Chronicles of Uriel Ventris

Newly promoted Ultramarines Captain Uriel Ventris is assigned to investigate Pavonis, an Imperial planet plagued by civil disorder and renegade eldar raiders.

Listen to it because: here is where the legend begins: the first mission of Uriel Ventris as captain of the Ultramarines Fourth Company.

The story: newly promoted to the captaincy of the Ultramarines Fourth Company, Uriel Ventris leads his warriors to the world of Pavonis, where vicious alien raiders are bringing death and destruction. As Pavonis descends into political turmoil, Uriel and his warriors must battle the xenos as they unravel a plot to unleash an ancient evil buried deep beneath the world - the mysterious and deadly Nightbringer.

Written by Graham McNeill. Narrated by Bruce Mackinnon.

Missing Chapter

It's literally missing an entire chapter. Chapter 10 is repeated twice and there is no chapter 11.

Really shouldn't have been this voice actor

I have heard this voice actor before in Warhammer books, not 40k books, and as a personal preference thing. I don't like him. I have night bringer as a book and love there story. This voice actor ruined it its almost unbearable to listen to. thumbs down on him sorry

Sort of ok

A little disappointed in the narration. Seems as though speed in delivery was irritating and really a space marine should have a deep voice. Story wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. There are better in this series.

Great story but basic facts wrong

Only downside to an otherwise good story is the constant reference to the god emperor and the worshiping of him by the space marines which is interly inaccurate for the astartes

Ultramarines being Ultramarines

The story is no nail biter full of mystery and Machiavellian machinations but it is a story of the boys in blue doing what they do best and we get inquisitor in disguise too, I enjoyed it but it not one I would listen to again, the narrator was new to me and he did a good job with all the right intonations and inflections

barely made it thru

i dont know if it was the narator or the story or a mix but this was by far my worst Warhammer 40k audiobook by far. Uriel seems to be a perfect candidate for conversion to the dark gods he is lackluster other than being cocky at times... in heresy times he would be a perfect traitor character you love to hate...

Great Book, Great Reader

Always loved this story and Bruce MacKinnon did a brilliant job of bringing it to life. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. I wish Heavy Entertainment produced all audiobooks.

Just wasn't a fan of the narration.

I remember reading this book as a kid and wanted to listen to the audio book as I remember the story being really good.

Narration is just way to fast. This book needed a deeper and grittier voice. Just wasn't feeling it.

Fantastic from start to finish

Nightbringer is a fantastic tale that the narrators exquisitely performance will be chills as you listen.
