About this listen

A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook

With tyranid hive fleets approaching, the Carcharodons make a stand on the world of Piety V. If they can stop the xenos here, they will be able to end the menace before it begins.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The most inhuman and brutal Chapter of Space Marines get a first hand look at the common people they fight to protect, and the results are surprising.

THE STORY

The Carcharodons’ remit is an unenviable one – this Chapter of Space Marines plies the dark areas of space, endlessly hunting down the enemies of mankind. Living on the edge, with no fixed base of operations, they are creatures shaped by their environment, renowned for their ruthlessness and their brutality. With a fresh wave of tyranid hive fleets approaching the galactic plane, the Carcharodons decide to use the world of Piety V as a bulwark. If they can stop the xenos here, they will be able to end the menace before it begins. But as they mobilise the planet’s defenders, and fight the tyranids, the Carcharodons come to learn what the value of mankind truly is.

Possibly my favourite 40k book ever! Fantastic story, great characters that feel very upique from one another, good human characters (as opposed to their space marine counterparts), and settings that were interesting and not often featured in WH books.
The Carcharadons have a really cool culture and are on the surface a very brutal chapter. Thats not my favourite part, though. The Ashen Claws make an appearance, and they manage to make the Carcharadons uncomfortable. Not an easy feat. If you know your heresy lore, then you will absolutely love this book.

The narrative, narration and characters were great. I loved the comparison of the humans to the monstrous astartes and the minutia of the difference between them. Great book if you want something different from the typical bolter porn Space Marine stories.

A fascinating look at some fascinating Marines
