About this listen

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?

I’ve enjoyed the Ghosts series (have read and listened to them all). Unfortunately they’ve changed the narrators a few times in the last few books and the voices, accents etc have been very inconsistent.

Good story, poor narration

The Gaunt’s Ghosts books just get better and better. This book follows that line and includes some great twists along the way.

Great continuation of the previous book

one of the best Warhammer 40k books out there very well done but the ending seem a bit quick but it is a 14 hours long any longer most people would get bored so it can't be helped and the ending is open for there to be a 2nd book

So after listening to the book the whole way through, I can honestly say that this book is good! It’s a more character driven story than some of the other books which is fine for me because I find the characters as interesting as the situations they are in. The action is visceral and brutal when it happens. Let’s talk about the narration. A lot of people here don’t like it because it isn’t Toby, but Mr Stewart is far far better than the last guy we had for salvations reach which was truly difficult to listen to. I would have much preferred Stewart over that Scottish guy and as a Scot myself, fuck me that was awful. We have been spoiled by Mr Longworth’s stellar narrations but Stewart is an equally skilled orator in my humble Opinion. His take on some characters can be quite off from what we have gotten used to but he is taking them seriously as characters. I think that a lot of listeners are still quite pissed of from the awful narration we had for salvations reach and so are skating Stewart very unfairly. It’s a good listen with a good narrator so definitely don’t be put off from picking it up. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Much better than the reviews would have you believe

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

It is all rights
