Summary

Vaults of Terra Book 3.

Separated from Inquisitor Cowl, Interrogator Spinoza hoists her crozius and sets to protecting what’s left of their organisation while continuing her quest for truth. But can she survive the dire straights she finds herself in, as she guards humanity from enemies within and without?

Listen to it because....

Luce Spinoza comes into her own, with the weight of her lord’s fate sitting heavy on her shoulders, while pushing forward with their mission. With enemies closing in on all sides, she must choose a path for herself.

The story:

The Throneworld is in turmoil, wracked by the opening of the Great Rift and the failure of the Astronomican. Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl, his mind and body ravaged by what he has seen in the Hollow Mountain, is missing, taking with him the clues to the conspiracy that has come to obsess him. Luce Spinoza, his interrogator, must choose whether to seek him out or defend her diminished realm from the many forces that still seek to destroy it. As enemies circle, Interrogator Spinoza enters a race against time to find the evidence she needs. But with the fate of humanity itself hanging in the balance, she must decide what lengths she is willing to go to in order to uncover the truth.

Interesting developments.

Bless that little servo skull Gorgias, for he is so misunderstood. I just wonder where it's going next?

Great ending to the Trilogy

Really enjoy all three of this trilogy and its interweaved story into the ongoing 40k universe.

Excellent end to the trilogy

Chris Wraight never disappoints when it comes to 40k fiction. This trilogy has enchanted me from the very start, and this is an excellent way to cap off the trilogy. The stakes have escalated and escalated, and then tying in the current cannon to top it off - but, of course, it couldn't end in any other way. The intrigue kept me on my toes, and the action was phenomenal—what a perfect way to end a 40k trilogy like this.

left me wanting more!

Which I guess is what Chris Wraight always does when he writes a book, this could be the end but I hope not, it does make me wonder if Fabius Bile would ever try and do what the Archon wanted to do in this book… I mean Abaddon does have the talons of Horus and his blood is on them ……. 😱

A decent end to the trilogy

Not a bad end to a trilogy that lost me at times. It finishes quickly, but strongly, and ties in nicely with the lore of the setting.

Brilliant

Right up there with Eisenhorn this one, fantastic intrigue and a tense ending. Death and destruction, hate the xenos filth :)

Alright

Not as good as the other 2 books in the series, in my opinion, and it also ends on a sort of cliffhanger. That being said, it does have drukari, custodes and the fabricator general of Mars present. Fun, all in all.
