Publisher's Summary

An Imperial Guard Audiobook

The Death Korps of Krieg arrive at a mining world overrun by necrons, determined to win this brutal war at any cost.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The Death Korps are unlike any other Astra Militarum unit – batch-bred, born to fight, and completely indoctrinated to their cause. See how effective that can be in this storming story.

THE STORY

When the necrons rise, a mining planet descends into a cauldron of war and the remorseless foes decimate the human defenders. Salvation comes in an unlikely form - the Death Korps of Krieg, a force as unfeeling as the necrons themselves. When the two powers go to war, casualties are high and the magnitude of the destruction is unimaginable.

Written by Steve Lyons. Read by Timothy Watson. Run time: 10hrs 43mins (approx).

So close to being great

The branching plots in this book vary wildly in importance and quality, the love plotline feels like it wastes space and overall isn't satisfying or motivating. Any moment with the Kriegers or Guardsmen is generally very good though it feels like the authors constantly need to inform the reader how dehumanized they are is some kind of obsession. The ending feels totally undermined by the romance plot and by the early stories constant reinforcement of Gunther being a coward. Realistically the Kriegers feel very under utilized and underrepresented while as always the imperial government is totally irrational and often useless.

The book has a lot of fat it could have trimmed to make way for better development of more interesting characters. the Colonel, Guardsmen, and Commissar could have all done with more time.
