Summary

After the success of their desperate mission to Salvation's Reach, Colonel Commissar Gaunt and the Tanith First race to the strategically vital forge world of Urdesh, besieged by the brutal armies of Anarch Sek. However, there may be more at stake than just a planet. The Imperial forces have made an attempt to divide and conquer their enemy, but with Warmaster Macaroth himself commanding the Urdesh campaign, it is possible that the Archenemy assault has a different purpose to decapitate the Imperial command structure with a single blow. Has the Warmaster allowed himself to become an unwitting target? And can Gaunt's Ghosts possibly defend him against the assembled killers and war machines of Chaos?

More losses for the ghosts

It's been awhile since I last read a gaunts ghosts novel but was very enjoyable. Dan Abnett doesn't pull the punches but without jeapody there is no excitement. Narration was good.

Reliable.content but patchy delivery

it's more Gaunt's ghosts - if you liked the previous ones you'll probably like this too. I did. There's not a lot more to say this far into the series. If you haven't read/heard the earlier entries start there.

The narrator does a great job when narrating, a solid job when voicing Gaunt or the main ghosts, and should (unfortunately) never be asked to do voices for women and children ever again for the love of the throne. The otherwise good reading lapses into pantomime.

Stilted reading, great story

A stop start performance but once you get used to it it's easy to enjoy a story that throws the Ghosts straight back into the thick of the action and raising the stakes for the régiment. A great return to form.

Great book

Great book but the Audible recording cuts off a few lines of important dialogue off the end of 'The Warmaster' chapter.

It is all rights

I am a big fan of the series, but I do feel that this book was not up to standard of the previous books in the series

Would have never seen this coming. Keeping us on the edge of our ears as usual.
