Resumen del Editor

Book Four in the Ahriman Series

Ahriman's great quest is far from over. In the fourth instalment of John French's series, the Arch-Sorcerer attempts to bend time itself to his will in order to undo the curse that shattered his Legion.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Ahriman—one of the 41st Millennium's most notorious villains and compelling characters—faces the immortal necrons in a struggle over the very fabric of time, with his entire Legion hanging in the balance.

THE STORY

Doom has come upon the Thousand Sons. A plague of fire and dust stalks the Legion across time and space, born from the sorcerous Rubric that saved them from annihilation and damned them for eternity. One by one, the spirits of the Rubricae are vanishing from the prisons of their armour—and one by one, living sorcerers are cursed to take their place.

Driven by the obsessive need to save his Legion and find redemption, Ahzek Ahriman seeks the time-altering technology of the forgotten necrons to overwrite his past mistakes. Shadowed by aeldari Harlequins, and with secrets and divisions spreading through his forces, the Arch-Sorcerer must find a new path to salvation—before all becomes dust.

Written by John French. Narrated by Mark Elstob.

Interesting

Can't wait to see what's next, as it definitely left on a but of a hanger.

Doesn’t progress the story much

Doesn’t do much to progress the story from the trilogy, does add some character development for a couple of the other thousand sons.

Compelling but definitely the beginning

Sad to see some characters die, but the threads of future story you can see are intriguing indeed. Wish there was more context so I could figure out when this novel takes place. If you need resolution to be satisfied you will probably want to wait for the next if not next two books to come out before you begin. Features a healthy dose of Aeldari, Harlequins specifically, and Necrons.

We want more Ahriman!

Loved it, will most likely listen again. Keep creating stories for Azek Ahriman, he is the best.

it was ok

It was ok explained in no less than fifteen words to readers I don't know.

Confusing

A bit confusing, but the story and performance were good. Would recommend to continue series

A little confusing with the wibbly wobbly timey whimey

I love this series. I’m on the verge of starting TSon’s army because of it. BL succeeding in their mission. The story got a bit confusing in places, but I think that was intentional, because time. I just wish there was more resolution at the end.

A good story ruined by bad narration.

As has been the trend with all Ahriman books, the narrator brings the experience down immensely. This was the one I finally just decided to drop. I've been enjoying the story, and the terrible, grating voices and pronunciation of the narrator were enough to make me drop the book entirely. I wish there was a lower rating I could give the performance to show just how resentful I am that the narrator has a career, and was paid to ruin this story with his voice.

Worth the listen, but just the once.

The VA is fairly decent but if this is your first book to listen to you can definitely get some whiplash. The story is much more self contained then the previous three books. Some section of the book are good especially anything that deals with xenos.

Spoilers





The death of characters from the previous books was a bit disappointing but adds a good tragedy aspect. Sadly the Tsons don't really progress or grow through the book and they really end up where they started. The book is good to see how they function and reaction to the necrons or elder but besides that the book could be skipped and you won't see a difference.

Annoying narrator, not a lot of story.

The narrator’s normal voice is fine, but all of his character voices are nasally, whiny, and really bad to listen to. Overall, not a lot of story.
