About this listen

An Astra Militarum Audiobook

In the jungles of the Dolorosa Coil, a coalition of alien T'au and human deserters have waged war upon the Imperium for countless years.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a typically weird and twisted tale from Peter Fehervari, with intriguing characters, a plot that will keep you guessing, and more mystery than you can shake a pulse rifle at.

THE STORY

Fresh Astra Militarum forces from the Arkhan Confederates are sent in to break the stalemate on Dolorosa Coil, and annihilate the xenos. But greater forces are at work, and the Confederates soon find themselves broken and scattered. As they fight a desperate guerrilla war, their only hope may lie in the hands of a disgraced commissar, hell-bent on revenge.

It does very much feel like a 40k rendition of 'Heart of Darkness, but it is spun with it's own web and manages to rermain intriguing all the way to the conclusion. Feheravi does a good job of managing the lore pulling tidbits from other authors and weaving them in (the Loxatl making an appearence) and the narrator handles the flow very well.

Unlike the previous reviwer having a tantrum and moan, I can reccomend this to any reader that did enjoy Apocalypse now

It is essentially a mash of themes

I am grateful for the attempt at writing something above the usual trope-heavy Imperial view. the characters were intriguing. but I did feel the story started way too many threads co currently and left a great many of them underdeveloped and some just outright hanging. It did become hard to keep track at points.

Solid voice work though. great diversity in characters, and there were a lot of them.

intriguing premise that tries to do too much

Really sad copy of apocalypse now right down to a gun boat in uncharted waters with a misfit crew, sloppy disjointed writing disappointing and predictable if you have seen the move or read heat of darkness honestly the author should know better and considering GW protects its IP so well it would be nice if they respected others IP.

Apocalypse now rip off
