A great listen even for a warhammer 40K novice.

I've never read any Warhammer 40K books and have little knowledge of the universe but I ended up loving this book.

I was hesitant at the beginning thinking I wouldn't understand what was going on but the book delivers the listener just enough information to understand the universe without it being overwhelming, the story itself was far more interesting and rich than I initially thought and I got really involved with it by the end.

Great voice acting from the cast.

I would recommend this book to any who likes scf-fi.

Great book

I never liked the idea of any book or game that follow an inquisitor until i listened to this amazing book, i like the different settings that keeps you entertained while maintaining the cohesion of the story.
Bravo!

great story and narrator

beautifully written story that comes to life in the narration.im look for to the next book in the series.

Brilliant, just brilliant.

The narrator was brilliant and the writer is equally amazing. Can't wait to hear the entire series.

An excellent military science fiction novel

I've long been a fan of the Warhammer 40K universe for its bleak view of a future humanity forced to embrace the worst aspects of its own nature just to survive in an actively hostile universe. However I've always been very wary of the quality of any tie in fiction (in general, not just in this setting).

I had heard that this trilogy was different and am pleased to say this is an excellent work of military science fiction outright. The protagonist is well realized and managed to avoid being a caricature of themselves. The settings are varied, the original alien race satisfyingly non humanoid and the all important pacing keeps everything moving along nicely.
