Publisher's Summary

A Warhammer 40,000 novel.

Drawn to a stricken world, the Ultramarines of Crusade Fleet Quintus, believed by many to be cursed, face a stark choice - fight a desperate last stand or doom a sector to warn the Imperium of the rise of a new Necron empire in the Pariah Nexus.  

Listen to it because: this is the first Warhammer 40,000 novel based on the new edition of the game, and it's packed with amazing action, fantastic characters and tons of intrigue - everything you want in a novel of the Indomitus Crusade.  

The story: for nearly 10 years, the Indomitus Crusade has waged a war of defiance and reconquest in the war-torn Imperium. 

Attached to Crusade Fleet Quintus - dubbed the Cursed Fleet by many - the Ultramarines of the Ithraca’s Vengeance are drawn to a stricken world. 

With millions enslaved, a malign necron technology siphons the souls of the innocent and heralds the Silent Kingdom’s expansion. The Ultramarines face an impossible decision: mount a desperate last stand to destroy the Pariah Nexus, or break away and damn the entire sector to bring word of this ancient foe’s resurgence to the only being capable of halting it - the Lord Primarch Roboute Guilliman.  

Written by Gav Thorpe. Approx running time 9 hours 51 minutes. Narrated by Robin Bowerman.

unmemorable

The problem with 40k novels is how little individual characters matter. We just spent 10 hours getting an insight into a whole host of characters who in the end, might as well have remained nameless. The story worked insofar as we knew who the combatants were and we knew what the motivation was, but ultimately a story of sacrifice is only as meaningful as the event itself. In the grand story of the warhammer 40k universe, this will be remembered as largely irrelevant.

Save yourself the credit

The story is boring, the voice actor has a grating voice and the main characters are completely unlikeable.

Narrator is unbearable

The narration of this story is atrocious. The characters, although somewhat distinct, lack any robust realism. It is like listening to a group of disinterested older politicians talking amongst themselves instead of a group of super soldiers fighting galactic enemies. Sadly couldn’t commit to the entire story. Will not listen to another narrated by Robin Bowerman

Good fun to paint to

At first I didn't vibe with the story too much, but as I kept listening, the characterisations of the Necron villains really grew on me. The derranged overlord, whose mind has degraded over millennia made for a compelling villain, while the space marines and imperial dignitaries acted as solid, if somewhat bland protagonists.

I listened to this book while painting my Necrons and it was entertaining and engaging for that purpose.

"PLASMANCER!"

Hardly gripping stuff.

The overall plot is good, writing gives an insight into necron culture and structure.

Some good characters delivered with depth and scope and some good plot twists along the way but like a disabled cruiser, it tends to drift along banging into events rather than storm along a clear path.

Sadly narration makes amost everyone feel like feeble and whiny old men, combine with a predictable focus on personal politics and I found myself wishing this would hurry and be done. Not what I was hoping to supplement my experience of the indomitus model set.

naturally space marine centric

naturally space marine centric.. ok for necron readers but don't be fooled into thinking our part in the story is anything other than the stage for the SM to perform on
