About this listen

Book one of the End Times.

As the forces of Chaos threaten to drown the world in madness, Mannfred von Carstein and Arkhan the Black put aside their difference and plot to resurrect their dark master: Nagash.

The original bad guy of the Warhammer World returns for the End Times, ready to destroy the land of the living and begin a new age of undeath. If you like Warhammer, this is a must-have - nothing that has ever happened within the Old World or without has been more pivotal to the future of the world.

The story:

The End Times are coming. As the forces of Chaos threaten to drown the world in madness, Mannfred von Carstein and Arkhan the Black put aside their difference and plot to resurrect the one being with the power to stand against the servants of the Ruinous Powers and restore order to the world - the Great Necromancer himself. As they set about gathering artefacts to use in their dark ritual, armies converge on Sylvania, intent on stopping them. But Arkhan and Mannfred are determined to complete their task. No matter the cost, Nagash must rise again.

Written by Josh Reynold. Narrated by Andrew James Spooner.

I first read this in a rush on release while having to cross reference all the name drops that were unfamiliar to me. Be warned, Josh Reynolds fills the book with Easter eggs that I doubt anyone got all of the first time. But the beauty of it is that characters that were simply named pieces of art in an army book with no further background feel just as organic and tied to the world and it's history as those who had legitimately been around for decades at this point.

The narrator was superb. No struggling with names and a suitable level of gravitas in a story that dips into horror quite frequently.

While I tentatively hope that they carry on to do the rest of the series in audiobook form, the quality of the writing never really matched this first entry (book 5 came closest).
