About this listen

After the success of their desperate mission to Salvation's Reach, Colonel Commissar Gaunt and the Tanith First race to the strategically vital forge world of Urdesh, besieged by the brutal armies of Anarch Sek. However, there may be more at stake than just a planet. The Imperial forces have made an attempt to divide and conquer their enemy, but with Warmaster Macaroth himself commanding the Urdesh campaign, it is possible that the Archenemy assault has a different purpose to decapitate the Imperial command structure with a single blow. Has the Warmaster allowed himself to become an unwitting target? And can Gaunt's Ghosts possibly defend him against the assembled killers and war machines of Chaos?

Another great book in the Ghosts series, as others have said here though, and truely not to be offensive to the narrator or belittle the skill required to do it... the narration/reading of this one is a challenge. It actively spurred me to try and find physical copies, from character changes (expected across different narrators though) to a lot of really uncomfortable inflections and emphasis on words that made no sense.

Sorry James, your style is not for me!

Great installment, narration however...

book was 100% awesome. the narration was horrendous however. i will never listen to another book narrated by this james stewart bloke. genuinely struggled to listen. Definitely recommend that you READ this book instead of listening to it.

Read it instead!

This narrator is much better than the last. Not as good as Toby Longworth but listenable, while I didn't agree with all the choices for character voices you could at least understand them and they weren't jarringly comical (with one exception, Yoncy).

Better

seriously, any scene Yoncy was in I hoped she'd never speak. super squeaky voice was too accurately annoying.

but so many great voices and accents, differing between the tanith, verghast and belladon characters was great.

story and performance top notch.

all voices great, except young girl voice

Yonsy detected, Dialogue rejected. Mr Cameron you absolutely were giggling like a little girl at your little girl impressions you old dog, but my God it was as though I was on the phone to my mother and my stupid friend was pretending to be a girl in the background to embarrass me. Absolutely top stuff everywhere else, love your work.

Great story and meaningful developments

It always breaks my heart when someone I love dies in this series. It’s such a great series.

I love Annett he makes me care about characters

I truly mean no offence to the narrator, but after listening to Toby narrate all the books and reading Salvations Reach, I caved and made the mistake of listening to (most of) The Warmaster and it damn near ruined the series for me. I've had to stop halfway through because of the drastic change to the characters voices and personalities. Gaunt is a completely different person. Thank the emperor Toby came back to narrate the next book.

Horrid narration
