About this listen

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.

Narrator fantastic as always. After the Eisenhorn series this is a slow burner whilst the story is set up. Some great set pieces though and a good finale made me hungry for the next part...

Good listen

Loved the performance. The voices may not be to everyones likeing but its easy to distinguish the individual characters. As for the story its ok with a few twists but mostly builds for the future. If your on the fence, plunge right in to an interesting world.

One of the best performances I ever heard

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.

Perfect re-flect-ion of the book

Featuring an unlikely protagonist, Ravenor picks up threads from the Eisenhorn series and delivers well.

Solidly written grim-dark thriller.

As my first experience with the venerable Audible service, I had to go for Ravenor. Longworth reads with an atmosphere that is fitting with my ideas of Warhammer 40k, although I had to adjust a bit for the female voice-acting. This, however, was entirely my fault as a listener rather than any on Longworth's part.

Story itself is what I expected of Dan Abnett, and I've found he writes Inquisition and stories of its servants best. A solid listen for those interested or versed with the verse, as I could use this as an introduction to the "grim darkness of 41st millennia".

Excellent cottage entertainment!
