About this listen

An Astra Militarum novel

Sent to the capital world of Potence, Sergeant Minka Lesk and the Cadian 101st discover that though Cadia may have fallen, their duty continues.

Listen to it because:

It's the follow-up to Cadia Stands and continues the journey of Minka Lesk and her warriors as they seek revenge against the Imperium's enemies for the loss of their world.

The story:

For 10,000 years, Cadia stood as a bastion against the daemonic tide spewing forth from the Eye of Terror. But now the Fortress World lies in ruins, its armies decimated in the wake of Abaddon the Despoiler and his Thirteenth Black Crusade.

Those who survived, though haunted by the loss of their beloved homeworld, remain bloodied and unbarred, fighting ruthlessly in the Emperor’s name. Amongst them is the indomitable Sergeant Minka Lesk. Sent to the capital world of Potence, Lesk and the Cadian 101st company soon discover that a rot runs through the very heart of the seemingly peaceful world.

Lesk knows she must excise this taint of Chaos, for it is not only her life and those of her company at stake but also the honour of Cadia itself.

Written by Justin D Hill. Narrated by Colleen Prendergast.

bizarre fanaticism, combat, enemies within and without everything you love about the astra miltarum and cadians in a melting pot. only four stars as it is a linear story no real big twists or suprises, but an enjoyable piece of writing to listen to while life happens.

Solid narrator slightly different style and not as much emphasis on individual voices compared to other 40k audio books, but clear distinct and importantly enjoyable.

solid adventure

Solid story and worldbuilding. it uses the themes of 40k really well and builds up a solid cast of characters. It builds up the tension quite well through multiple viewpoints until a satisfying climax

Strongest in the Minka Lesk series so far

Just the wrong narrator for a warhammer 40k story. Not saying she isn't talented but I found the voices given to characters to childish and she got the tone of the book wrong. Dark and gritty is warhammer 40k universe and this to me was not achieved

Wrong tone for this book

Ok book but wrong narrator. Shes talented but makes the character seem bland. Its not gritty or grim or sounding like a military book about Cadians. I dont know if its the writer but it sounds like the best of the imperial guard are average troopers who don't really care they serve the imperial guard. The narrator needed to put more soul into the characters rather then just plain tone for the character's individual lines and actions.

Doesn't feel like it's the gritty 40k book.

I came into this one hoping and expecting something grand and incredible, and it came away with everyone having no more distinctive personality than "soldier # 4236". It read like a chronological retelling of events with no scale and didn't provide context to any of the battles so I'm left wondering, what on earth actually happened?

Events you'd expect the book were leading up to, like this massive battle everyone was heading to, we're never touched on apart from passing comments after it happened. even the titanic Blackstone fortress crash read like a post combat report with no real scale.

I wanted to enjoy it but overall, it was just eh.

Very meh
