About this listen

A Sabbat Worlds novel.

We will make our own history, and all other accounts be damned.

Listen to it because...Volpone Glory covers the exploits of the soldiers of the 50th Volpone of the Royal Volpone Regiment. Their ranks are filled with proud and arrogant soldiers who come from the noble families of Volpone, earning them the name 'Bluebloods' among the Astra Militarum. Nick Kyme breathes life and humility into the members of this otherwise supercilious regiment as they battle against impossible odds.

The story: as war rages across the Sabbat Worlds, the Volpone Bluebloods are sent to Gnostes at the head of a massive Imperial host. Tasked with the liberation of the Agria island chain from the entrenched Blood Pact, the haughty soldiers of the Volpone find their mettle sorely tested in a brutal meat grinder. After a punishing setback threatens to derail the campaign, an unlikely champion rises through the ranks and victory once again seems possible. But the propaganda of war is a fickle beast, and the Archenemy are cultivating a plot the Imperium can scarcely fathom. Through glory and honour, the Volpone are desperate to prevail, but can they endure the rigours of the bloodiest campaign in their vaunted history and come out the other side intact?

Written by Nick Kyme, narrated by Andrew Wincott.

This book takes a little while to get going, but once it does it’s quite punchy. There are a lot of dark moments and some interesting characters and introspection. Andrew Wincott’s performance is perfect.

Like a Ghosts book but darker (and everyone is arsehole)

this is a decent and solid, if somewhat underwhelming addition to the 40k Imperial Guard library.

the story and characters are fine but nothing really leapt out at me and makes me want to see or know more about anyone involved in the story. seeing as how this is set in the Sabbat Worlds crusade alongside Dan Abnett's Gaunts Ghosts novels the gulf in quality is a bit disappointing in my opinion.

the Volpone are fleshed out more than just "arrogant bluebloods" but there is something that feels a bit artificial about it all.

Kyme is a good author, this one unfortunately is a slight miss for me

solid but not brilliant

I always felt that the Volpone were a bit hard done by in the orginal books, seeming almost like a stand in bad guy posh regiment. This book does them justice.

Very good

Fantastic story telling and narration, the setting definitely had the same feel as Ghaunts Ghosts with a band of brothers feel, lots of suprises and duplicity, difficult to put down! Character voices were excellent, really looking forward to a sequel...

Sequel please!

trying to capture the savagery of the sabbat worlds crusade.
too many characters.
yes abnett brings in characters and has them savagely cut down. kyme seems to do the same but the connection to the characters just isn't there.
maybe I'd enjoy it more if read rather than listened to.

reads like dan abnett... fan fiction
