As he plunges deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the many palace districts, his investigation attracts the attention of hidden forces, and soon he and his acolyte Spinoza are being hunted.

These abhuman deserters-turned-criminals operating in the city of Varangantua have crossed the wrong man for the last time—and now they’re on the run. At least, that is, until Baggit learns of a score that could pay their debts and save their skins—the Wraithbone Phoenix, a fabled treasure rumoured to be hidden aboard a voidship recently scheduled for decommission. But Baggit and Clodde aren’t the only ones with eyes on the prize.

There are those in the great expanse of the galaxy that seek profit wherever it is to be found: the deal makers, the opportunists and explorers – the Rogue Traders. Granted power by an ancient charter, sanctioned by the Emperor Himself, these scoundrels, entrepreneurs and adventurers roam the galaxy in search of fortune and glory. None perhaps are as hungry for these twin vices as Janus Draik.

After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Now, she finds herself awakening on a distant Ecclesiarchy stronghold and indebted to a magos called Metik, who has brought her back from the brink of death. Shortly after her resurrection, Sabbathiel is called to an audience on the planet Hulth by a high-ranking inquisitor of the Ordo Hereticus, Heldren, who informs her that after being lost for so long, the members of her former conclave no longer trust her.

Among the Space Wolves there are as many sagas as there are warriors. Though none quite like that of Lukas the Trickster. Renowned and reviled in equal measure, the Jackalwolf has ever stood apart from his brothers, passed from pack to pack by embittered Wolf Lords. But as a new enemy invades the icy reaches of Fenris at the height of the Helwinter, Lukas finds himself facing a foe who may rival even his legendary cunning - the drukhari corsair, Duke Sliscus.

Publisher's Summary
War rages in the Caradryad Sector. Worlds are falling to madness and rebellion, and the great war machine of the Imperium is moving to counter the threat. Amongst its agents is Inquisitor Covenant. Puritan, psyker, expert swordsman, he reserves an especial hatred for those of his order who would seek to harness the power of Ruin as a weapon.
Summoned to an inquisitorial conclave, Covenant believes he has uncovered such a misguided agent and prepares to denounce the heretic Talicto before his fellows. But when the gathering is attacked and many left dead in its wake, Covenant vows to hunt down Talicto and discover the truth behind the mysterious cult apparently at the heart of the massacre, the Unseen. In the murky plot into which he is drawn, Covenant knows only one thing for certain: trust no one.

In a universe far far away …it is the dark ages.
Resurrection: The Hourusian Wars - War Hammer 40,000
by John French
WHAT IT IS:
A long time ago in a universe far far away … it is the dark ages.
This is Star Wars… but envisioned by Clive Barker, with detailed notes from H.P. Lovecraft… and ROCKIN' to HEAVY-METAL.
Mankind's empire stretches across the universe. Humans travel great distances by sailing star-ships through "warp space". Manned by psychics who can guide ships through the warp.
THE UNSPOKEN TRUTH IS:
Unfortunately, "the Warp" is not just the empty space between stars. It's another dimension. The big unspoken truth of this universe is the Warp might be hell. It's full of screaming ghosts. Human and alien dead. Some have evolved into vastly powerful demonic beings & monstrous gods. Unfortunately, by the time man-kind figures this out, it's too late. Mankind's empire is as wide as the universe, and to travel anywhere you HAVE too use the WARP.
These War Hammer 40k books are tales of the battle to save the human race. The battle has been waging for many thousands of years … and is not going well.
Like in the DARK AGES, man-kind has lost much knowledge.
Superstition rules.
Science has devolved into a religion where tech-priests prey to machine-spirits.
Gigantic, ancient battle-ships travel through the void. Many of their gothic-cathedral interiors are now dark and vacant as humanity's numbers decrease.
A DARK universe so lavish in gothic-scary detail it teeters your mind on the edge of insanity.
Mutant-monsters from the WARP threaten the human mind and soul in an epic war with no end.
Yep, an' it's not going well. How do you defeat the armies of the HELL-dimension? ...in outer-space?
What can save this very VERY V E R Y dark vision of the future and make it an enjoyable read??
Wonderfully imaginative Characters, and military sects, and religions, and weird science, and scary MONSTERS - each more fantastic than the last. Genius!
WHO WILL SAVE US:
A "Rag-tag bunch of misfits" stand against the EVIL from the WARP.
They're awkward but extremely advanced in the skills of battle.
They remind me of "Buckeroo-Banzai and his Hong Kong Cavaliers"
They are…
• Covenant - Leader. Grim martial-art warrior. Scarred, and tattooed.
• Galvious - Tech-priest adopted by Convent's crew - Cybernetic humanoid/spider being who seems morbidly depressed, yet not without an odd sense of humor.
A C3PO for this UNIVERSE OF TERROR.
• Severita - A death-dealing amazon.
• Enna - Another orphaned amazon-warrior adopted by Convent's crew.
• Joseph - Old and clam - a Priest who swings a mean war-hammer. I thought of him looking like Rob Halford: the 60-plus-year-old lead-singer for the classic heavy-metal band JUDAS PRIEST.
• Mylika - A Psyker . WITCH. Looks of a wraith, but with the loving presence of a mother.
Together they root out the demonic infiltration. Solving mysteries and fighting WARP creatures.
Great adventure in a UNIVERSE OF TERROR so dark and dangerous that to fight for survival many humans have become augmented monsters, barely recognizable as human any more.
The reader could have done a little less "acting" and more "reading" for my tastes. However, this book is genius! Pure Genius!
Would LOVE seeing this as an effects-heavy live-action action-horror-movie - with a sound track by JUDAS PRIEST!

A wasted Opportunity
John Banks was, as always, a joy to listen to, and I as a 40k lore lover I'm absolutely thrilled with how Black Library has been brought to Audible. The decision to write this novel in third person was clearly a massive mistake. The way he's written, Covenant lacks any of the personality or mettle of Abnett's Eisenhorn, Wraight's Crowl or any one of their supporting cast of acolytes and agents, and his most defining character traits appear to be a brooding self-righteousness and a shoulder-mounted weapon. Perhaps, if we'd gotten a fight person view into Covenant's head, he would've been more nuanced. His cohorts do have brief moments of character, but they're few and far between. Hopefully the second installment will be more engaging.

Decent Story and good intro to the 40k setting
I do have to confess my favorite inquisitor stories are the Eisenhorn/Ravenor series, but this was a good listen, and I liked the characters. Would recommend it.

Masterpiece
Up front, If you are not a fan of Warhammer 40.000, I can't say if you'll enjoy this as much. Look to the Eisenhorn series for the best introduction to the 40k universe instead...
A high octane pump of intrigue,mystery and action. Contains some or the best performances I've heard. Held me in it's grip thoroughly, simply loved it !

great performance not a great story
I love inquisition books. That being said, I was a little disappointed. Covenant is not a very interesting character so far, but the story arch is interesting. It has great potential for a trilogy

not bad
It had a good story, the characters were ok though not very compelling. I'll finish the series as I already started. The narrator was outstanding as usual

Was a great surprise!
Honestly was not expecting the book to be so good. Been 9n tge Dan train and had a hard time finding 40k books as good as his. But this really stood out!

Story is way to far up its own arse with the warp.
I get it, the warp is unknowable and whacky and all that, but just using craploads of contradictory words whenever someone is having some warp based mental break is waaaaaaaay overdone in this book and makes me wanna tune out.

decent story. always love Inquisition books
good story and voices are tolerable. good pacing and never shouting or being to excited for the characters. nice easy listening for a Grim future.
