Summary
When his body is hideously damaged in an enemy attack, it looks as though Inquisitor Gideon Ravenor's promising career would be abruptly brought short. Now, encased in a life support sytem that keeps him alive but forever cuts him off from the physical world, Ravenor utilises his formidable mental powers to continue his investigations. Along with his retinue of warriors and assassins, Gideon Ravenor fights to protect an Imperium he can no longer see, hear or feel.

Fantastic Novel, Fantastic Audio Book
Really enjoyed this not only as a novel but also as an audio book.
Toby Longworth is amazing. The voices for each character are good.
Dan Abnett knocked it out of the park again. The climax of the book feels like a film!
An excellent start to the Ravenor Trilogy.

Perfect re-flect-ion of the book
Great to come back to this book years after first reading it when it came out.
Toby Longworth, as Steven Pacey does with the Joe Abercrombie books, really brings them to life and adds an additional dimension to them.
The accents for the characters were relevant and worked really well.

Requires a high degree of prior knowledge
Going into this book I was unaware that it was a continuation of the Eisenhorn series, which meant that it suffered even more from a problem I've often encountered with other books in the 40K universe. There is a huge expectation of prior knowledge, not simply for the general world and species but quite specific character types are named without any subsequent explanation or description.
This book was also completely vague about stakes or the characters motivations. Only at the very end of the novel was it made clear why the main crew were persuing a particular investigation. That said the final third of the book did involve a pretty fun action sequence.

Grim and Glorious.
I came to this after the Eisenhorn books. Ravenor continues the fight! He is an equally (for me sometimes even more) excellent and compelling hero as Eisenhorn. I like how he is incredibly formidable, yet limited at the same time though being forced to survive in a support chair. It gives his staff more of a chance to shine, and creates some unique dynamics that separate this trilogy from the Eisenhorn one in an interesting way.
Ravenor inherited some team members from Eisenhorn so familiar faces are back. There are new members too so it's cool to see the familiar characters within this new ensemble while also appreciating how much fun the new people are. It's not just a rehash of the Eisenhorn books.
Toby Longworth is so super good as a narrator. It's an easy and satisfyingly intense experience to listen to his read of this. I liked the presence of Xenos as well as Chaos elements in the book and the mix of on the ground and ship based action.

Magnificent!
First impressions made me think it was a little crass(adult language), but after listening to its entirety, I am glad I finished the book. Top marks for characters; from backstory to in-story implementation, everything fits together perfectly. only criticism follows; one character is voiced differently throughout the book, starting with one voice before switching to a distinctly different voice and manner. however, this is toward the end of the book and the character has few lines, less than a dozen. So only a very minor issue.
Thank you for writing this book(Dan Abnett) and for providing such a fantastic oration(Toby Longworth)!

An Tale of Intrigue Done Well
The opening was a little rough, but once you get into the main cast, the story becomes a fantastic ride of nail-biting intrigue, tension, and action. As one who hasn't yet listened to the Eisenhorn series and is thus a little out of order, I still fully enjoyed this book and can't wait to go into book 2 of Ravenor's mission!
