Horusian Wars: Incarnation

Warhammer 40,000

De: John French

Narrado por: John Banks

Darkness approaches Dominicus Prime, a literal Season of Night that brings with it portents, madness and strange happenings. Standing alone as a beacon against the darkness is the Monastery of the Last Candle, a temple to the holy light of the Emperor. As the bishops and the cardinals vie for power and influence, a crisis looms among the Pilgrim Drift who are starving in their droves. Discord is rife, and there are whispers of a rising cult, one committed to blood and horror.

Into this political powder keg comes Inquisitor Covenant and his followers. Drawn to the shrineworld by the prescience of the Emperor's Tarot, they come seeking the agents of the Triumverate, a sect of Horusians bent on power themselves. It is the belief of Covenant that these radicals seek an incarnation, nothing less than a divine vessel, a living saint. To what end, he can only surmise, but Covenant knows it cannot bode well. He must deny the Horusians at any cost. The fate of the very sector may be determined by it.

more twists than lumbard street

this story has potential but the author tends to stick to very twisty/windy stories that are pretty difficult to keep track of. this is one of those stories. makes the listener wanna have an aneurysm.

No Eisenhorn or Ravenor

Covenant is the most boring member if the Inquisition I have read. He is not particularly interesting.

not good

of all the black library books I've listened to, this is about the worst. characters are too flat, and can become confused. too many arcs that all just dont work well together. felt forced.

Fantastic!

just a solit grimdark book, second in the horusian wars-series. Fantastic performance from the reader and a story that makes my eyes tear up and laugh out loud. 5/5.

Very mediocre!

Big fan of Inquisition... purchased this book because of that. Was very disappointed. Storyline is very confusing, characters are not well developed. Feels like “Horusian” theam was an afterthought for the author.

disappointing

jumps around too much
Violet so humanised is made absurdly weak barely fuctional
let down
struggle to finish Violet's guard has cool a moment
