About this listen

A Warhammer 40,000 novel.

The death of Lord Azariel, head of the Navigator House Brobantis, draws his widow into a dark world of ritual killings and cult murders, while larger plans are at work and entire worlds are threatened....

Listen to it because:

Delve into the murky politics of the Navigator houses with a novel packed full of murder, conspiracy and warp-borne threats.

The story:

Lord Azariel, Head of the Navigator House Brobantis, is dead. His widow and murderer, the Lady Chettamandey, stands to inherit his power and influence. Her plans for ascension are curtailed when she’s drawn into a dark world of ritual killings and cult murders. With planets being dragged into the warp seemingly at a whim, the threat to Chettamandey’s legacy is dire, and only she can avert potential disaster.

Written by Mike Brooks. Narrated by Helen Keeley.

All the intrigue and warpcraft you'd expect from a plot involving Navigators. And about time too, there's a lot of potential from them that Mike Brooks does a great job of exploring.

Highly recommended.

Well written.

the voice actress is extremely versatile and easy to listen to. the story has an excellent political intrigue with a dash of detective dash to the finish (as you get all viewpoints it's not really a whodunit)

absolute fave for 40k

Enjoyed the perspective of a Navigator. A fun mystery to solve as well. I think some of the intrigue in later chapters could have been fleshed out, felt like there had been some hard edits. Did very much enjoy the book though

An interesting perspective on the Imperium

It was a pretty good story. The zie's and zer's are dumb but it doesn't distract from the story too much and is kinda brief.
I was expecting more space battles and palace intrigue, instead we get a solid action story, similar to a lot of inquisitor tales.

Navigators.

Fantastic story, several interesting plot points and intrigues that were solved well. Helen Keeley's performance really pulls it all together, her voices for all the charaters making then all instantly recongiseable and unique.

All and all, a very good book

Fantastic
