About this listen

Haunted by the ghosts of longdead foes and with his psychic powers blinded, Mephiston, chief librarian of the Blood Angels, travels to the warwracked world of Morsus, where death awaits....

Listen to it because

The Lord of Death returns in a novel that shows him pushed to his very limits and facing the doom that has chased him for centuries.

The story

As the Great Rift tears the galaxy apart, portents and darkness beset Mephiston. At the time when he needs his psychic sight the most, the chief librarian's powers are rendered blind by some inexplicable force. Haunted by the ghosts of the damned, their purpose unclear, Mephiston takes his ship the Blood Oath and the Blood Angels in his charge to the world of Morsus, where he believes the source of his psychic blindness is to be found. But Morsus is embroiled in conflict too, a longstanding struggle between the Imperium and some of its most ancient foes called the Revenant Crusade.

Written by Darius Hinks. Read by Richard Reed.

Great performance with excellent quality voices and separation of characters

Completely butchers agency and quality of the necrons. Come across as an incompetent to a silly degree enemy. There are significant contradictions to a main piece of lore from infinite and the divine. Necrons aren't allowed to come across as a threat other than an unnamed cryptek who mephiston of course has read the correct book to counter. There is an ancient necron device from another galaxy that necron crypteks can barely unlock despite years of work and mephiston can turn it on in a second because of yet another book.

Anthros has gone from being the main character of the previous book to a side character in this that feels like it was building up much more than it did. Hopefully book three will add to this.
