Publisher's summary

Book 2 in the Gaunt's Ghosts series

Of all the Astra Militarum regiments who fought in the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, few are as celebrated as the Tanith First - Gaunt's Ghosts. Now, their tragic origins and earliest battles are revealed....

Listen to it because:

Discover the origins of Gaunt's Ghosts and see the Tanith First and Only are put through the wringer as they overcome their home world's destruction and battle the forces of Chaos.

The story:

On Monthax, Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt and his Tanith First-and-Only await the order to advance into the sweltering jungle and drive the alien eldar from the world. As battle approaches, Gaunt walks the lines, raising his men's spirits and remembering their most heroic deeds - and the tragedies that have dogged Gaunt's Ghosts from the day of their founding on lost Tanith. The day that Gaunt became known as the Ghostmaker.

Written by Dan Abnett. Running time 10 hours 16 minutes. Narrated by Toby Longworth.

Draws you in deeper. the second books makes you think and ponder as it reveals more to the series and makes the reader ask deeper questions

Good 1st and 2nd acts, but ending less so.

Solid 40K book. My only complaint is the ending is abrupt and feels almost contrived.

Solid story, weird bit at the end

Genuinely solid, but the weird bit at the end is way out of verse and doesn't quite make sense, but whatever. Enjoyed listening and the rest of the boom is gold.

The imagery was very effective at illisuting vivid scenes in the mind.

the stories structure was very disjointed but very atmospheric! The narrative jumped from planet to planet then back it was really hard to follow.
