About this listen

The Ghosts of the Tanith First-and-Only have been away from the front line for too long. Listless and hungry for action, they are offered a mission that perfectly suits their talents.

The objective: the mysterious Salvation's Reach, a remote and impenetrable stronghold concealing secrets that could change the course of the Sabbat Worlds campaign. But the proposed raid is so hazardous, it's regarded as a suicide mission, and the Ghosts may have been in reserve for so long they've lost their edge. Haunted by spectres from the past and stalked by the Archenemy, Colonel-Commissar Gaunt and his Ghosts embark upon what could be their finest hour...or their final mission.

Im slugging through this book as a write this review. The readers performance is horrible. I'm concerned that the next few books are no longer Toby. GW needs to have these books reread by Toby.

Good story ruined by poor voice acting

This book is a difficult one to get through, purely for the change of reader. All the familiar voices and characters you are used to have been tossed out the window, I don't expect one narrator to completely copy the style of another, but it shocked me that someone with a natural Irish accent somehow managed to voice Irish/Celtic coded people in a less impressive way. Ayatani Zweil is also an insane Indian man now?

considering some core characters die in this book, its quite disheartening this is the last time we hear their voice and its not even by Toby Longsworth.
The story was quite good, Dan Abnett always nails it, but this reader ain't it.

A poor substitute

Change up of reader was a lot to take in at first, but quite well done. Others beg reviews seem to be around not understanding the readers accent well enough to take in the different voices

so I initially was taken extremely back with the change of voice acting, it was too much of a change but once I got used to it I started to enjoy this alot more with minimal issue.

amazing story

The narration was great but the character voices were very poor. I hope Toby is brought back to voice this one

I missed Toby

The first entry of Gaunts Ghosts audiobooks, my first 40k book, this is an early benchmarks for voice performance that's rarely matched aside from Keeble, Longworth, and Emma Greggory.

The natural feel to the accent performances is the best blacklibrary has to offer. Not just approximations, but very specific regional accents to all the character, delivered in colloquial authenticity for an outstanding performance.

Probably my favourite 40k book, Abnett in an showcase of beautiful narrative amd character weaving. Feeling like the beginning of Abnetts current era of prose construction, some of the best work he's put out to date.

Wishing we had more entries from such a talented voice actor, has elevated the experience and grounded the characters with interesting depth.

Incredible pacing, writing and narrator

The Gaunts Ghosts series is probably my favourite series of all time. Such a rich and deep tale, woven by a master with a true grip on the 40k universe. my only gripe with this audio book is the choice of narrators. He uses inappropriate, nonsensical voices that absolutely shame my beloved characters. His characterisation of Space Marines is the absolute worst I have ever heard. I struggled through but the ridiculous voices totally detracted from the amazing story and made it a choir to get through.....

Great story but terrible narrator

Missed Toby Longworth big time, I’m sure this narrator is fine but he obviously didn’t bother listening to any of the other books.

Where’s Toby?
