About this listen
A Warhammer 40,000 anthology
Take your first steps into the adrenaline-fuelled fiction of the 41st millennium with a thrilling collection of tales, including an action-packed novella pitting noble Ultramarines against sinister necrons.
Whether you're dipping a toe into the galaxy of Warhammer 40,000 or are a hardened veteran of the universe, this anthology is the perfect way to discover the many factions of the games in action-packed tales.
Within this book you will find Nexus, a fantastic new novella by Thomas Parrott.
In a galaxy beset by war, where the Adeptus Astartes are all that stand against annihilation, the Ultramarines are exemplar - noble, honourable and oathbound to the protection of mankind. Where the predations of the alien, the witch and the heretic threaten the Imperium, the Angels of Death fight to oppose them.
Brother-Sergeant Allectius wages a brutal war of attrition against a seemingly endless xenos foe. But when the vile necrons unleash a mysterious pall over him and the people he protects, Allectius must take his fight beyond the walls...for more than just victory, now their very survival is at stake.
Also included in this book is a host of awesome short stories to give you a flavour of the many warring armies that exist within the worlds of Warhammer 40,000.
Authors include Dan Abnett, Guy Haley, Chris Wraight, Rachel Harrison, Mike Brooks, Danie Ware, Steve Parker, Peter McLean, Josh Reynolds, Phil Kelly, Thomas Parrott, Robert Rath, Marc Collins and J C Stearns.
Narrated by Andrew Wincott, Richard Reed, Emma Gregory, John Banks and Toby Longworth. Running time is 18 hours and 49 minutes.

Opal is a gleaming shrine world of saints and soldiers, beloved of the Emperor Himself. Sent to retrieve the skull of the revered Saint Veres, Sister Superior Augusta of the Order of the Bloody Rose and her squad find themselves in the midst of the capital’s holiest festival, a time of reverence and celebration.

The greatest threat, however, is yet to come.

Inconsistent but some highlights
This is a anthology sampler of the current 40k world and is a good way to hop in and get a nice intro to a lot of the different factions that exist. sadly as with all anthologies you end up with vastly differing levels of quality, personally I was unable to bring myself to finish the title story Nexus as I found it pretty quickly devolved into talking about how fantastic and amazing the Ultramarines are, which as someone who is more interested in the Imperium and the Xenos was too much.
The Blood Angel story however was really gripping and maybe the most interesting Marine plot I've run into so far. The Adepta Sororitas story is also really solid and a great intro into their lore(which is fantastic), but personally the real highlight of this collection is Void Crossed, which is a fantastic story about two Aeldari, one Drukhari and one Craftworlds, with personal history between them finding themselves on opposite sides of a battlefield, it is a fantastic story that is emotional and give a great little peak into the society of the Eldar. If you are at all interested in them you owe it to yourself to pick this collection up, especially for the price and what you all get in it.

Just ignore the soy reviews and give it a shot
Was first put off by the reviews but after listening i can tell these people clearly are new or just clearly not really aware of what's going on around them. If you're an actual 40k fan who loves the universe like myself you'll find those 18 hours fly by real quick story by story....i already have 3 more books downloaded too read after finishing nexus i grabbed about 6+ more just because i loved the characters so much i wanted to see where the authors would take them next. DO YORSELF A FAVOR AND JUST DROP THE 8$ ON THE DARN THING! Was a little worried that i wasn't going to enjoy some of the stories for the chapters I'm not a fan of (wolves and dark angels) but found myself enjoying the stories none the less easy 5*s hard choice what to listen to next......
