Publisher's Summary

Listen to it because:

Aaron Dembski-Bowden takes an event mentioned in a Warhammer 40,000 rulebook - the Fall of Vilamus - and weaves his Night Lords characters into it, crafting a tense and dramatic tale of honour (or the complete lack thereof) amongst traitors...you'd think they'd know better that to trust one another.

The story:

Driven on by their hatred of the False Emperor, the Night Lords stalk the shadows of the galaxy, eternally seeking revenge for the death of their primarch. Their dark quest leads them to a fractious alliance with the Red Corsairs, united only by a common enemy. Together with this piratical band of renegades, they bring their ways of destruction to the fortress-monastery of the Marines Errant.

Written by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. Narrated by Andrew Wincott.

Ave Dominus Nox

I enjoyed it all a fantastic addition to the Nightlords lore, Hound and Septimus and Octavia were great and to see the conflict with Ruven and Talos was very enjoyable.

Nothing short of excellent

After the first book Bowden does a great job progressing the story in a interesting and captivating manner, Andrew Wincott keeps up just a great performance that brings life to the characters of first claw.

Better than the last

The performance by Andrew Wincott is as amazing as the last book, just as the story is even better. I also greatly enjoyed the appearance of Huron and his Corsairs and found them almost as compelling as 1st Claw.

Pretty Good

It's bolter porn....
performance very good. enjoyed the story though I think the talons of horus series is better.
This is what it is. Good well performed, entertaining story. Not too heavy. Thought provoking enough to be interesting.
Overall good background listening if you like 40k lore.

I liked it :)

I believe this was a complete improvement over the first book. The state of things between the start and end of the book seem to change very little, much like the first book. Which is admittedly somewhat disappointing, as I'd like to see the characters make some kind of progress in terms of their goals. But there ends the list of cons.

Exchanges between characters were much more interesting this time around. And there was a lot less over-describing of people and surroundings, which did wonders for the pacing.

I thoroughly enjoyed the direction of development for all characters and hope to see them developed even more so in the next book.

The narrator was fantastic, even more so than last time. Almost never did I confuse one character's voice for another's. And it always felt as though the tone was set just right at any given moment.


(minor spoiler) by far the most engaging parts of the book for me were the supernatural horror sections surrounding Octavia. Chilling stuff to visualise. The implied possibilities being utterly horrifying to imagine. Very creepy and fun!
