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?

Probably the best Black Library novel to date, this books paints a fantastic picture of the awful reality of living under a corrupt fascist theocracy like the Imperium.
An amazing performance by the narrator brings the large cast of characters to life, and the sound design is excellent.
Without spoiling the story it's well worth a listen, but pacing is a little off - it almost feels like an action movie at the end with gunfights, twists and death aplenty. While not bad, the end felt at odds with the considered world and character building of the start - again, not bad, just quite a notable tonal shift.
Overall though, absolutely great, will look out for more from both the author and the narrator

Fantastic performance of a great story

loved the story and characters in this book and the reader was excellent. my only criticism would be that the formatting is a bit weird so all the chapters are seamlessly blended so sometimes a new paragraph begins from a different character's perspective and it takes several confused seconds to realise there has been a change.

Hobbits in Space!! Great story.

I can't recommend this enough. It's a tour de force of what storytelling in the 40k universe can be. The voice performance is also top notch.

This was AMAZING!

Baggit and Clodde what a great set of characters they are. I hope Mr Worley writes more stories with them as they are very engaging. What Mr Worley has done is write a good old fashioned hunt for the treasure quest into a setting I've not had the pleasure of returning to for years. The narrator is fantastic too which adds to the experience .

Excellent

I’d listened to the Baggit and Clodde audio drama and had been pleasantly surprised by it. The Wraithbone Phoenix is another level of story telling, brilliantly narrated by Harry Myers. I’ll be keeping a close eye on Alec Worleys work from now on. Highly recommended

Bloody brilliant
