About this listen
Siege of Terra, Book 6
With the Lion's Gate space port taken by the enemy, Jaghatai Khan of the White Scars prepares a brazen gambit, but one of his former brothers rises to take up arms against him.
Listen to it because: the heroic and dynamic White Scars hurtle headlong into combat with the unyielding Death Guard. As brother battles brother, the fate of Terra itself hangs in the balance.
The story: the Inner Walls are breached.
Traitor vanguards tear towards the heart of the Palace, sensing victory. Desperate gambits are attempted: an unwilling saint is released into the ruins, as well as an enthusiastic sinner. A black sword rises, forged from spite, ready to create a legend. But amid the slaughter, Jaghatai Khan, Warhawk of Chogoris, prepares to launch the most audacious strike of the conflict. His goal is nothing less than the liberation of the Lion's Gate space port. Cut off from any help, he stakes everything on one desperate counter-offensive, launched against an old enemy who has been made far greater than he ever was before. As the White Scars ride out against the newly crowned lords of life and death, they know that defeat for them dooms not only the Legion, but Terra itself.
Written by Chris Wraight. Narrated by Jonathan Keeble.

My immediate concern was this would be another fluf fest to endure to get to that final scene on the Vengeful Spirit we've all being waiting for (and potentially dreading?). Fear not, while in the grand scheme of things there is little significant "progress" -spolier!- there are many fantastic scenes. There's plenty of Primarch but it's not overwhelming and leaves ample time for the adventurers of less significant characters. We even say goodbye to a few but their exit did not disapoint.
And obviously another great performance by JK. Having listened to a few 40k books in the interim between this and Mortis I'd forgotten how good Keeble's narration is. Someone better wrap that man up in cotton wool until this things all done and dusted.
My only criticism... what is all this perpetual rubbish GW? Don't mess the whole series up at the last hurdle with those boring goats!
Not fluf, this one's a hit in my books...

Chris Wraight takes us into the minds of those on both sides, revealing sometimes surprising complexities and nuances of character.
Genuinely, laughed out loud in a couple of places, not because of humour so much as delight at a surprising turn or an unexpected outcome.
Jonathan Keeble is, as always, excellent, bringing life and subtly to the characters and ramping up the drama fantastically. Also, I don't think I'll ever read the word 'boom' in quite the same way every again! 😁
All in all, a fantastic listen and an awesome production. Can't wait for the next episode!
