Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet Waaagh!

Warhammer 40,000

De: Nate Crowley

Narrado por: Kelly Hotten, Paul Putner, Jon Rand

An Orks novel.

Ghazghkull Thraka, the Beast of Armageddon, is one of the greatest threats to the Imperium. For the first time, hear his full story...as told to the Inquisition by his faithful banner bearer Makari.

Listen to it because: for the first time, get a grot's-eye view of the inexorable rise of the greatest ork warboss since the Great Beast, in a novel packed with all the action and dark humour you'd expect from an ork tale.

The story: of the billions of greenskins who swarm the galaxy, the name of one strikes fear into the hearts of human and xenos alike—Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka.

The Warlord of Warlords.

The Beast of Armageddon.

The Prophet of the Waaagh!

With his tusks, fists and power claw, he does the holy work of Gork and Mork—and soon all worlds will burn in his bootprints.

Mystery shrouds the origins of such a beast. Rumours abound that the mighty warlord was once just like any other ork—but if that is the case, how did he rise from a lowly lad to the biggest of bosses? Many have lost their minds trying to unravel the secrets behind his rise, and Lord Inquisitor Tytonida Falx is no different. She has headed into the murky depths of heresy to find the answer—but this time, something is different. This time, she has something the others did not. She has custody of the one creature in the universe who claims to know the truth of it all—Ghazghkull’s banner bearer: Makari the Grot.

Written by Nate Crowley. Narrated by Kelly Hotten, Paul Putner and Jon Rand.

voice actors are class

enjoyable because of how over the top and ridiculous it is, in absolute Warhammer fashion.

Ghazghkull lives!!!

story is well written and engaging. it's awesome to hear things from a grot and ork pov

you like orks its go orks

You shall know the past of harled and the prophet of the Waaagh! You will enjoy it.

Orky

A bit nonlinear, but enjoyable. Lot's of interweaving of mystical and Orky concepts while only occasionally falling into incoherence. Not as ultra-violent as usual but still really enjoyable

Learn The Great Green and Orkiness

This short novel tells the tale of The Orkiest Ork since the War in Heaven. Learn the origins of the greatest warboss of all time and discover the true power of Gork and Mork.

not the best Ork book but still good

I thoroughly enjoyed Mike Brooks' Ork books so I gave this one a listen. I got bored of listening to the Heresy "bolter porn" books and needed an Ork book to "cleanse my pallet". It did it.

It was fun

This is the first orc book I have read, but it was such a good listen. The voice actors really knocked it out of the park

The audiobook version was perfect!

Nate Crowley puts his wild imagination to darkly hilarious use with the fantastic Ghazghkull Thraka: Prophet of the Waaagh!, effortlessly elevating Warhammer 40,000 orks into compelling, thought-provoking characters. Relatively short but wide-ranging, This is a short but perfectly formed novel, and while the interrogation idea has been done before it’s perfectly suited to this story. Falx and her retinue make for an entertaining cast, and likewise Biter the interpreter (no spoilers but…he’s great), while Makari is every bit the vicious, slippery little monster, but at the same time strangely sympathetic. Of course, looming over everything is the menacing shadow of Ghazghkull himself, who’s utterly terrifying from an Imperial perspective, but depicted as such an interesting character that as a reader it’s hard not to root for him in the end!

It's all about Makari

I loved all the Makari bits, but I found the interrogation scenes hard to get into.

I never thought I could both love and hate Makari

Nate Crowelly is a genius, perfectly recreating the mind of an orc, if you haven't already read twice dead king I highly recommend it, the only other thing I have to say is WAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!
