About this listen

Book six in the Gaunt's Ghosts series

On a battlefield in the Sabbat Worlds, the struggling forces of the Imperial Guard are locked in a deadly stalemate with the dark armies of Chaos.

Listen to it because

Deadly trench battles and a mysterious house form the two threads of this epic story, along with the continuing feud within the regiment and the fallout from the shocking conclusion of the previous book in the series....

The story

On the battlefields of Aexe Cardinal, the stalwart forces of the Imperial Guard are locked in a deadly stalemate with the dark armies of Chaos. Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt and his regiment, the Tanith First and Only, are thrown headlong into the living hell of trench warfare, where death by an unseen enemy is always just a moment away. The only chance for Gaunt and his lightly armed scouts to survive is to volunteer for a mission so dangerous that no one else dares accept it.

Written by Dan Abnett. Narrated by Toby Longworth.

Great narration and another warzone that has distinct flavour. memorable characters that don't all fit into stereotypes and a surprisingly fun cockfighting scene

another solid addition

Another one for the Ghosts, can never be to sure who will make it and the story is great. Trench warfare and classic ghost action!

Another great one

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Analogous writing of the Great War abounds in this book, and to great effect. the very real horrors of trench warfare are expertly realised by Abnett and masterfully narrated by Longworth.

A set of interesting sub-plots and character development also help what would otherwise have been. a "filler" novel in less competent hands. Instead, Straight Silver stands on its own as a compelling tale of normal people enduring the hardships of a very abnormal war.
