Story
Inquisitor Gideon Ravenor and his retinue are believed dead, and with shadowy forces moving against them, they'd like to keep it that way. Returning to the planet Eustis Majoris, they go undercover, investigating a brutal ring of smugglers moving stolen arcane technology within the Imperium. As they descend deeper into the organisation, it becomes clear that a terrible plot is unravelling. The ancient machines contain the unthinkable, and Ravenor must summon all of his wits to thwart the conspirators before the ultimate secrets of Chaos itself are laid bare!

Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

For it is he who commands the will of the Legio Custodes that most esteemed and dedicated cadre of elite warriors. He is the Emperor’s sword, His shield, His banner and he knows no equal. Clad in shining auramite, his fist clenched around the haft of his Guardian Spear, he is the bulwark against all enemies of the throne, within or without. Nearing the end of the wars of Unity, Valdor’s courage and purpose is put to the test as never before.

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.

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)!

Excellent book and narrator, big volume changes.
As always, Toby Longworth does a stellar job.
My only critique is that the audio balancing could be better. I primarily listen on my way to work, so there is a lot of background noise. I had to turn the volume way up to hear the quiet parts, then had my ears blown out by the loud parts.
I understand the value of that for immersion if you're listening at home or in a quiet office, but that's not everyone's situation.

A fun romp through the back waters of the imperium
This story offers some interesting set pieces and build upon the inquisition story line. The story has a very good start but does start to lag a bit towards then end, there is a constant build up of tension but it fails in some cases to actually show a real threat besides some small time thugs.

An Exceptional Mystery
If you are looking for a gripping tale of mystery with the Imperium's finest special agents, than look no further. This brilliant beginning to a series captures the reader and doesn't let go. The Inquisitor Ravenor and his staff each have distinctive a likeable qualities that the narrator portrays with skill. If you enjoy Sci Fi then you will enjoy this unique story with excellent twists. I cant wait to read and hear the next one!
