Summary
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?

Fantastic performance of a great story
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

A fun let down
So when I heard that there would be a full novel about my favorite ratling and ogryn I was super happy. There is a lot to say about this book but fist of I want to say it's worth a listen if not only for the funny voxcast messages that is through the book. It starts off good and the narrator is doing a very good job. Where the story starts going down hill is where the rest of the character is intredused. It's way to many side storyline that in the end is just pointless. And it takes me out if the fun mainstory that is the main reason I'm listening to the book. I think it was like 8 extra people that end up having little to no real effect in the story. I think making one or two would be fine. They would have a bigger impact and it would be a lot easier to follow the story. That too is hard at time when they have to go to so many people. What takes this book from bad to okey us the 3 main characters and the box messages. All in all I would say that it's a 6/10

Give it a try
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.

Hobbits in Space!! 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.

Excellent
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 .

Baggit's eleven
Evil treasure seekers, accomplished bounty hunters, idiotic yard boys, paper tiger crime lords, a filthy xenos and two abhuman solar aux rejects learn about a priceless treasure.
Hijinks to follow.
The best 40k book in 2022. Baggit and Clodde bring the goods in another classic Varangatua crime novel.
