Publisher's Summary

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.

Great story

Loved the story and writing. Hard transition from the narrator from early books that I enjoyed so much.

Fantastic

Abnett does what he does best in this book, which is write some of the best Warhammer stories.
would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys Abnett's work, or Warhammer in general

A lot of the voices are poorly done

Brace yourself for Larkin, truly such a shock for me, that's the worst one but lots of others are messed up too. plus even the pronunciation of names too

Tough transition to a new narrator but this is bad

Look - of course nobody expects a new narrator to perfectly mirror the previous one in their performance but it appears that McPherson made no effort to listen to and imitate the previous TWELVE books in the series. The voices here are nearly unlistenable. This isn't Harry Potter. Why does Larkin sound like a magical elf? Why is every characters spoken dialogue narrated as if they are reading a script with one word on each page? These characters are extremely battle hardened warriors who have been to hell and back countless times.

Skip this one. Thank God this guy only did one of these. Sorry!

Where TF is Toby Longworth?

It’s a story up to Dan Abnett’s high standards, but James McPherson’s work on this ranged from OK to atrocious. In this book, Larkin sounds like a Monty Python character, names aren’t pronounced properly, and the three main accents that make up the 1st are all over the place. I lasted 2 hours and had to return it. I opted to have iOS accessibility text to speech reader narrate the ebook version instead.

just can't get into it

I was not prepared for someone other than Toby Longworth to read this series. It was a shocking and after listening to all the previous audio books from this series I found it extremely difficult to listen to. I honestly do not think I'll be able to finish this.

To clarify, this is nothing against this narrator and he does well enough.

Wish the new narrator honoured past standards

Given that Longworth spent so much time building the voices and pronunciations of names over all the prev books, it would have been proper for the new attempt to at least nod to them. Larkin is brutally voiced and the pronunciation of Kolea was so jarring.

Good non-heretical text.

Listened in pretty much one sitting, narrator was great but I think Cybon's voice and the chaos fleet ship names were a little over the top. Otherwise an immersive reading.

Good story about the imperial army life

Good lore about the intricacies of imperial army life and interaction with the spacemarines.
A gem in it's own style.
