About this listen
A Warhammer 40,000 Audio
War rages across the surface of Urdesh as the Iron Snakes Space Marines attempt to hold the planet against a tide of Chaos forces.
Listen to it because: Urdesh is a brutal world, the fires of its forge-cities mixing with the many volcanoes and an endless expanse of battle wreckage littering the plains. When the reincarnation of Saint Sabbat herself appears on the blasted battlefields of Urdesh, powerful forces race to secure that which may decide the ultimate fate of the world and the crusade at large.
The story: the mighty world of Urdesh is burning. The smoke of war mingles with that of her many volcanoes; the wreckage of battle litters her forge-cities and chokes her fertile seas. Until the warriors of the Imperium can free Urdesh from the grip of the Anarch, the future of the entire Sabbat Worlds Crusade will hang in the balance.
Across these ashen battlefields strides Brother-Captain Priad and the warriors of Damocles Squad. They must keep safe one of the Imperium’s greatest weapons: the Beati, the reincarnated Saint Sabbat herself, whose very presence on Urdesh inspires the Imperial armies on to glory. But the enemy has plans for the Saint too, and against the malice of the Anarch and the trickery of the warp, the Iron Snakes may truly need a miracle to prevail....
Written by Matthew Farrer. Narrated by Harry Myers.

Solid bolter porn
Like: the action is fantastic.
Dislike: the narrator was a struggle. I like his voice but something about it took me out of this story.
The characters were all forgettable. No stand outs that made me want the next book. (But I have heard the sequel is better so I’ll still read it)

Don’t buy if you haven’t read the previous books
If you haven’t read all of Gaunts Ghosts, Brother of the Snake, and Titanicus, you’ll have no idea who the characters are, where they are, what they’re doing or why it matters. Having read all those previously,I quite enjoyed it. There were some good sequences and the voice actor was solid. The ending battle becomes quite messy with two many perspective changes. I do want to listen to it again though. Also if you weren’t aware it’s the first of a 2 part series so it ends half way through the story.

Hard to follow
Whilst the narrator does his best the story is weak and uninspiring and in some places quite boring and hard to follow considering this is the first book in a series it doesn’t bode well for the following volumes!

disappointed and two many chapters !!!
it would be so much better if they used chapters properly, hard to get into because u start to get into it but when it's a chapter every 5 minutes (ie chapter 999) ggggrrrrr the first book to make me annoyed when ur getting into it the story and u hear its another chapter (I don't care lol).
plus There’s not enough character voice Variations, so its ability to crab u like other books is lacking !!!!!!

Ruined unfortunately
Why not use the same voice actors as the prior book ?, Reads it too fast it's so bloody monotone and boring nd no distinction between voiceovers and characters,

Meandering and aimless
A book without a story. Dont waste your time. Hugely disappointing. Iron snake is much better.

Disappointed
I listened to the whole story and I can’t tell you anything that really happened the voice was not filling me with excitement or getting me involved, I don’t know if I we cause of the writing being dull or just lots of short unnecessary chapters, I don’t know I was expecting better.
