A Minka Lesk Audiobook

Cadia has fallen. Last to escape the hell that was the Thirteenth Black Crusade's destruction of their home world, the Cadian 101st are bloodied, but unbroken as they fight to prove they deserve the legacy that was left to them.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Captain Minka Lesk returns and is tested as never before. As she leads her regiment in the Gallows Cluster, she must deal with a threat she's never seen – a jungle that wants to eat her troops alive!

THE STORY

When a new threat surges through the Gallows Cluster, jeopardising the stability of the entire warfront, the 101st are thrown into the breach. As loyal fortresses fall on the world of Alia, Minka Lesk’s company leads the mad gambit that is the last hope of turning the tide. But when the jungle itself is as deadly as any enemy, can Minka keep her troopers fighting as her regiment fractures around her?

Didn’t love up to expectations

The book did not live up to expectations of the last 2 novels. Performance was well done. Book was not.

Good read, Bad screams and shouts

The story and the build up was great. However I felt a bit lost at the ending. Just felt like something was missing. The narrator was great and easy to follow. However, when it came to reacting the screams or shouts it sounded like she was whispering. Which threw me out of the book. It was still an enjoyable listen.

Great Character work followed by great action.

The story is grounded, not like some space marine bolter fantasy, and personable. The first half has lots of great character work, followed by thrilling action. A warhammer title at it's best.

Slow start that picked up in the last 2 hours with a rushed ending

Honestly the book wasn't bad but it started veeerrryyy slow picked up fast with the 1st company fight slowed down again and when we got to the ending it sounded like the 7th company was finally going to meet their end and it really felt like it but then it kinda just turned into "and then they were all fine" with a twist that didn't really hit has hard it I feel like it was supposed to, not a bad book but not as good as the others imo the VA did a good job it felt and sounded just as good as the other books tho

let down

It started off really well but.
About halfway through, I just stopped having as much fun. It's not like his other books.

Slow burn to an epic end

Thrilling, exciting, emotional and epic. An awesome continuation of the story of Minka Lesk and the 101st. A slow but carefully crafted start that turns into an epic listen.

It's grim

Love the Minka series. I wish she had more personal combat but thats what happens when you climb the ranks.

The military fiction

This is my favorite in the series, especially the way the combat is written stands out. This is probably one of the best depictions of war in any Black Library book.

The flip side is that it paints the Cadians as realistic elite soldiers, and not the I CAN FIGHT ABADDON ON MY OWN caricatures they sometime become. Which I guess a lot of people didn't like.

Another thing this book lacks is a deeper connection into the greater Warhammer lore. I don't mind personally, but this is a book about soldiers fighting and dying, and not about planets breaking in such a degree that it stands out a little from the others in the series.

I think the story and the awesome writing makes up for it.

Meeh

It’s a lesser book of what was a great book serie… the first 3 books was solid, cadia stands, cadian honor and traitors rock… then came shadow of the right… and it felt like it lost its way… this book hells last was a boring read/listening to and I had to force myself to listen to it to the end… the performance was great but she could not make the book interesting
