Resumen del Editor

An Astra Militarum Novel

A celebrated sniper of the Astra Militarum must shift her focus to commanding troops, and dealing with the complications that arise from hard decisions.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a look into the haunted thoughts of a soldier wrestling with the complex realities of a galaxy at war. Every choice she makes has consequences for those under her command.

THE STORY

Transplant. Cadian. Sniper. Legend.

Sergeant Darya Nevic is all of these and more… but behind the stories stands a soldier haunted by the unwelcome fame her successes have brought.

During the Cadian 217th’s assault on the manufactorum world of Attruso, Darya finds herself out of her depth in a war that is fought with words as much as with weapons. As a fearsome winter closes in and her men begin to die around her, she will be forced to confront her doubts and make an impossible choice – to become the figurehead her soldiers need, or to believe the unimaginable promises of the mysterious t’au.

With the fate of her regiment in her hands, which path will she choose?

Written by Rob Young. Narrated by Colleen Prendergast. Running time 10 hours and 28 minutes (approx).

boring till 7 hours in

the narrator isn't monotone but has the same inflection for almost every sentence. This gives an impression very similar to a monotone narrator. The story is slow until the end when it gets very good and then just ends.

Solid read

A really good into what it's like to be a part of a scout sniper squad in the 41st millennium. plenty of action and intrigue to keep the story interesting until the end.

Fun exciting story reminiscent of Enemy at the Gates

I have not listened to a lot of Militarum stories, and this was a great one. Very personable, good character development. Lots of twists and turns. The narrator did a great job as well, telling the Sergeant’s point of view and how she thought. It was a great listen.

Another Great Imperial Guard Story

Shades of Gaunts Ghosts, well worth the listen. I'm usually on the fence for books that aren't "known", but I took a chance on this new release. I did not regret it. No story is perfect, but this one IS entertaining. I think I just might break out the paint pots this weekend...

Good story, odd pacing

Overall this is a great read and the narrator does a good job. The pacing is a little off in places and the main character can seem a little unrealistic, but if you view the story as Imperial propaganda, it makes for a really enjoyable read.

Enemy at the Gate but Warhammer40k

Intriguing, attached, worried, rage, satisfaction
in all the book had me pulled, Cadia Lives!

A good story!

A good sniper story. Just when I thought it was winding down it picked back up again. Sure made the work day go by faster

A very good quality story

A good sniper book with plenty of grass-root level characters from Imperium and Tau. Recommended!

Great

It has a few turns and it was worth the money also worth the read if you want to know a little about the imperial guard and the tau

Fun Imperial Guard story

Loved that where the plot was going wasn’t telegraphed like it can be in some 40K stories. Support characters were nice and offered support and weren’t there just to help the protagonist look better; enjoyed all the characters not just the protagonists or antagonists. Would recommend for anyone that enjoys the 40K setting or imperial guard/astra militarum.
