À propos de cet audio

An Alpha Legion Novel

The leader of an Alpha Legion warband continues the Long War against the Imperium of Mankind, while harbouring the ambition to become the Harrowmaster and unite his Legion.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

See the Alpha Legion in the wake of the Great Rift, as they face the power of the Primaris Space Marines of the Indomitus Crusade.

THE STORY

The Alpha Legion are devious beyond measure, but deceit is a double-edged sword. As the Indomitus Crusade pushes into the far reaches of the Ultima Segmentum, the warband known as the Serpent's Teeth encounter the fearsome Primaris Marines, and the Alpha Legion is faced with a choice – fade into the shadows, or adapt and strike back.

Solomon Akurra, leader of the Teeth, intends to claim the title of Harrowmaster and bind together the feuding heads of the hydra that make up his Legion. His allies are disparate and unproven, and his enemies march with the might of the Imperium at their back. Much is not as it seems, and the odds are stacked against the sons of Alpharius… but Solomon is armed with a weapon the Imperium cannot ignore – the truth.

Written by Mike Brooks. Read by Theo Solomon. Running time is 11 hours and 49 minutes (approx).

The Alpha legion was really in need of a fresh and new view. The author find and create a really good reason of what have been the alpha legions in the last millennial and put a new purpose to build a new era for the Alpharius Omegon sons.

The narrator’s performance is pretty good but the story is just mediocre. It tries to provide some insight into the Alpha Legion and even takes a swing at showing how they don’t always have a million secret contingencies, but then it turns out yea they do. It felt like the author tries this set up to subvert your expectations but then he thought “Naw turns out they actually are exactly what you thought.”

Not the best

Solomon always has a plan! Another great story by Mike Brooks. Highly recommended if you like the alpha legion or the inquisition.

Enjoyable read

The book is alright. It’s written to make those of the Alpha Legion more “human” than their oft times freakish cousins in the other Traitor Legions, and while the story is often times fun it really drags in places.

The biggest complaint on the writing aspect is the need to tell us all about what models/equipment from 40K every single character we meet is/has. It feels like parts of the story are meant solely to (poorly) explain what 40K and the Factions involved in the story are. Because of that I often found times where the story dragged because it felt like a technical manual over a story.

The positive is, the story is quite fun. Even if it is full of cliches and expectations that you can guess by thinking what would be the most unexpected thing to happen. Without fail the author makes sure that those things happen. I get it, the Alpha Legion is sneaky, but it got a little silly at times. Though the interactions with the different Warbands and learning what they think of each other and themselves was quite enjoyable; and even while predictable in many places it was still good enough. The writing is simple and clean, and makes the story acceptable if not outstanding among other stories in the universe.

But now we get to the worst part of the experience; the Voice Acting. I don’t know if the VA read Solomon as a whiny character scared of everything, but that’s how he portrays him. Every single time he seems to be scared of everything and sounds terrified of his own shadow. It’s especially prevalent early on and becomes almost hilarious how the written word is talking about Solomon’s confidence and understanding, but the VA still comes across like he’s a whiny and scared kid. His other voices are all over the place. Most range from mediocre to outright bad, but weirdly he gets some with a perfect mixture of grit and gruff that makes you more annoyed these weren’t applied to characters with way more screen time. Also I’m not saying everyone can imitate voices from the opposite gender with ease; but when every female character has a nasally and whining voice for everything they say, it really isn’t a good look.

Granted, there are some fantastic voice actors that we have become accustomed to with Black Library. But why they chose this guy to read another 40k novel is beyond me. He just doesn't have what it takes. Which is a shame since I've been looking forward to this book for a while. Just read the hard copy. This is so hard to listen to. Maybe he could read other genres but not this stuff.

Terrible VA

the narration was low quality compared to the previous GW/BL audio books I have listened to.. the characters voices, the narrator laughed under his voice at one line near the beginning of the book, and he strung sentence together that were supposed to be split it's 'how a inexperienced reader would read aloud to present there English project '... good story ad always but let down by above reasons

the audio is weak
