About this listen

The disciples of the Machine God, the Cult Mechanicus are on the front line of the Quest for Knowledge. Tech-priests lead their forces of augmented warriors and battle-automata into battle with the Omnissiah's foes in defence of His secrets. Magos-Explorator Omnid Torquora orchestrates war against the Iron Warriors for control of a long-lost forge world. With skitarii legions and maniples of battle-servitors and robots at his command - not to mention the mighty god-machines of the Titan Legions - victory is within his grasp until treachery threatens to end his dreams of conquest.

Loved it! A most brilliant continuation from Skitarius in the voice of Toby Longworth, narrator extraordinaire.

Another world beater… in a good way!

very impressed with the books in this series. for me they've captured the essence of the adeptus mechanicus. all the scenes feel very flushed out and allow for very stimulating books, from both a lore and narrative perspective.

I've often been on the fence about Toby's narration in many books these are executed perfectly. voicing for mechanicus characters is going to be difficult to present as robotic monotonous voices make emotive speech harder to percieved by the listener. however Toby nails it here, offering a good range of cybernetic and vox emitted voices while still showing relatable human emotions such as fear, impatience and anger.

The author has really impressed me with these books. Rob is not an author I'm very familiar with, but after this duo I'd consider myself a fan and will be interested to read/listen more of his work

Brilliant follow up to the previous book.

The story was fine, the twists not bad, the descriptive fight scenes toward the end however, elevate the entire thing. Voice acting also solid considering 90% are imitation artificial.

A decent conclusion with cracking action sections

well performed, but the story is painfully slow yet the book is actually quite short. a little concerned that this and skitarius were originally one book then burtchered into 2 books. everything happens at the end, which is a good ending but pacing seems off. Ok if you have lots of spare credits but there are a lot of better books out there

slooow start

awesome story but man did they waste character developmennt on striker. I get that the writer wanted to make him into a terrifying weapon but by lobotomyzing striker they took all individuality from him making him a slave. so he never got the chance to find faith again or to truly get revenge on the ironhands commander.
i would have liked alot to see him become a ruststalker as it would also be quite poetic when he would eventually face the ironhands commander in battle since their original battle started with him killing his rustalker "friend"/ally in the book skitarius. overall liked the book but not quite satisfied with the ending.
however the reading audiotrack was exelent and I loved how he was not hesitant to speak in silly robotic voices.

Striker deserved a better ending.
