Resumen del Editor

A Warhammer 40,000 audio drama collection

Discover some of the dedicated servants of mankind's Imperium - Assassins, Commissars and Inquisitors - as they battle the many foes of humanity across eight audio dramas.

Listen to it because:

Many are the warriors who defend the Imperium - and this is your chance to find out about several of them, including the infamous Inquisitor Eisenhorn.

Description:

In the sprawling Imperium of Mankind, everyone serves the Emperor in their own way. From the Inquisitors who hunt the hidden enemies of humanity in the dark places of the galaxy to the brave soldiers who stand on the front line, and the Imperial Assassins who can change the tides of war with a single shot, each has a part to play in preserving the Imperium.

This audio drama anthology contains eight stories of the agents who dispense the Emperor's justice. You'll find two tales of Imperial Assassins plying their deadly trade, one of an Imperial Commissar haunted by ghosts of his past and five stories about agents of the Imperial Inquisition, including the famous and feared Inquisitors Eisenhorn, Ravenor and Greyfax.

Good for what it is

A Nice little collection of short stories, to bad i had the 3 eisenhorn ones twice already... they are part of other collections...
But the prefomance is New, and all of the performance are fan-fucking-tastic 😊

It’s great, but...

I’ve listened to most of the collection at the point of writing this, and I’m liking what I’m hearing. Killshot and Judge of the Wastes both gave me those ‘WTF’ moments, and though I’ve already listened to the Interrogation of Salvor Lermentov before I still found it as good as before. I especially liked the Eye of Night and The Emperor’s Judgement, the last one particularly - I liked the idea of two assassins basically getting in each other’s way. My only niggle is with the last three stories, but that is more one of personal bias. Thorn Wishes Talon, Master Imus’s Transgression, and Regia Occulta were stories that were also included in the Eisenhorn novel ‘Magos‘, and I’ve listened to the audiobook version of that as well, and personally, I don’t think I can get over not having Toby Longworth voicing the character of Eisenhorn. I understand that these versions of the stories were probably recorded first, but still I find all the additional sound effects to be more of a distraction from what the actors are saying. Like I said, personal bias. Other people may feel differently, but that was my only problem with this collection. Other than that, it was excellent.

Gets better and better !

Interesting to delve more into the Officio Assassinorum and see how even the most stalwart defenders of the Imperium can fall for Chaos trickery .
The true gems here are unsurprisingly Abnett's shorts about Eisenhorn , fantastically narrated !

some of it is plainly a fictionalized documentary

yes I mean the trees that move when you blink. yeah you all know EXACTLY what I mean. anyway, glory to our military, imperator vult and may victory be our lastest.

Excellent stories from the rank and file

Well done, well read and acting. Great sound effects and background noise. A good way to see how the Imperium runs

Good stories

I enjoyed almost all of the stories on this collection with the exception of two. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It’s like a movie for your ears

I really like the multi voice acting… I really recommend this for any warhammer fans of the imperial verity lol

Suffer not the alien, the mutant, the heretic

A good collection of short stories that left me wanting to hear more. A few of these can be continued into longer novels such as The Emperor's Judgement in Execution Force (the novel but it also has a board game) and the later Eisenhorn stories, Master Imus's Transgression and Regia Occulta in his respective novels. Thorn Wishes Talon takes place after the events of the first 3 Eisenhorn books so I would hold off on that if you want to avoid spoilers on events of these books.

Amazing stories

Absolutely fire!!! A must for any Warhammer fan! Great stories and great voice actors! Well done

A mixed collection

the Dan Abnett stories are excellent, but available in other collections; 2 of the stories are just padding and not very enjoyable. could have spent the credit better.
