About this listen

A Baggit and Clodde Novel

A ratling and an ogryn aren't the best-matched pair, but in the crime-ridden heart of Varangantua, anything goes—at least, when there's a big score to be had.

Listen to it because

This is first full-length novel featuring the characters Baggit and Clodde from the audio drama Dredge Runners. Follow the duo as they hunt for a treasure that could answer all of their problems.

The story

Baggit is the fast-talking ratling with an eye for the big score. Clodde is the ogryn with a heart of gold and a head full of dreams. These abhuman deserters-turned-criminals operating in the city of Varangantua have crossed the wrong man for the last time—and now they’re on the run…

At least, that is, until Baggit learns of a score that could pay their debts and save their skins—the Wraithbone Phoenix, a fabled treasure rumoured to be hidden aboard a voidship recently scheduled for decommission. But Baggit and Clodde aren’t the only ones with eyes on the prize. When word gets out, every thief in the Dredge is going to be gunning for the Phoenix. Does Baggit have the cunning to find the treasure and get out alive, or will someone finally cash in the bounty on his head?

Great characters with a brilliant plot and a couple of nice twists. Definitely one of the most well rounded stories I've heard from the gw universe.

My new favourite

I’ve read a lot of 40K books by this point and this feels like one of the most well rounded reads thus far.

A lot of stories require a fair bit of background knowledge or are very specific with their perspectives often following 1 - 2 races but this is a great book for those who aren’t quite familiar with 40k and also offers enough details to really serve those seeking more depth to what it’s like being an Abb human in the imperium.

It’s also a classic hiest story and the character scratch whick(?) is honestly a character worth knowing for sure!

Also really fantastic voice acting and really brought the characters to life.

Overall a really good entry point and a great listen.

One of the most well written and enjoyable 40K books so far

Harry Myers has a great range of voices that really sells the different characters and are perfect for the tone.
This isn't just a crime caper with a Warhammer 40k backdrop, it's very much a Warhammer 40k crime story fully immersed in the grim darkness, the Imperial propaganda and the ritualistic reverence of Him on Terra. The Dredge as a setting oozes with character and I am hoping that it and these characters are explored further.

A must for those in love with the grim dark universe of Warhammer but tired of the bolter porn.

First, this is a well-written tale of double-crossing and hijinks with rounded, believable, and relatable characters. It also takes advantage of its audiobook medium to deliver a few extra soundbites that make it that more enjoyable.

Absolutely bloody brilliant!

Best of Warhammer in ages

I have read the book which is excellent and decided to listen on audible. It’s a superb story and the narration brought the characters alive. One of the best narrated books from the 40k universe. Recommended

Superb
