About this listen

Book 1 in the Eisenhorn series

Inquisitor Eisenhorn faces a vast interstellar cabal and the dark power of daemons, all racing to recover an arcane text of abominable power - an ancient tome known as the Necroteuch.

Listen to It Because:

The classic novel returns in a brand new edition. Inquisitor Eisenhorn gathers allies to unravel a conspiracy and hunt an alien threat. Relive the adventures of some of Warhammer 40,000's most beloved characters, or experience the beginning of Eisenhorn's remarkable adventures for the first time.

The Story:

The Inquisition moves amongst mankind like an avenging shadow, striking down the enemies of humanity with uncompromising ruthlessness. When he finally corners an old foe, Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn is drawn into a sinister conspiracy. As events unfold and he gathers allies - and enemies - Eisenhorn faces a vast interstellar cabal and the dark power of daemons, all racing to recover an arcane text of abominable power: an ancient tome known as the Necroteuch.

Abnett demonstrates why he will always be the most respected warhammer author. All the extreme violence aside Abnett excels at painting rich and fascinatingly detailed worlds and that's exactly what you get along with engrossing characters and an exciting plot. Can't wait for number 2.

Exciting and well developed sf classic

Admitidly I've not read much 40k but this was one of the first I got into based on how much hype it had. for me personally it was a bit of a slog. I will probably revisit it again after I've finished the next two in the series but over all I don't think it warrented the hype it was given just my thoughts narration was good however just the story its self left me confused and hard to follow.

Not bad but not the greatest

Fantastic story and well paced all within the Grim dark setting. Voice acting was great. Thought it may just be descriptions of bolter/las fire, pleasantly surprised with a gripping story

Enthralling

... then I doubt anything will.
Eisenhorn Xenos is the ultimate 40K gateway.
Forget for the time being Alien races and power armoured post humans and step into the boots of an Inquisitor, a human from the Imperium of man, one of countless billions spread across the stars.
See the Imperium through his eyes as he fights the enemies of mankind.
For me the Eisenhorn novels are set apart from other 40K novels as they let you experience the far future, the grim dark from a human perspective.
I find this book un put downable every time I pick it up and join Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn and his retinue on their adventures. Awesome!!
