Blood Reaver: Warhammer 40,000

Night Lords, Book 2

By: Aaron Dembski-Bowden

Narrated by: Andrew Wincott

Listen to it because:

Aaron Dembski-Bowden takes an event mentioned in a Warhammer 40,000 rulebook - the Fall of Vilamus - and weaves his Night Lords characters into it, crafting a tense and dramatic tale of honour (or the complete lack thereof) amongst traitors...you'd think they'd know better that to trust one another.

The story:

Driven on by their hatred of the False Emperor, the Night Lords stalk the shadows of the galaxy, eternally seeking revenge for the death of their primarch. Their dark quest leads them to a fractious alliance with the Red Corsairs, united only by a common enemy. Together with this piratical band of renegades, they bring their ways of destruction to the fortress-monastery of the Marines Errant.

Written by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. Narrated by Andrew Wincott.

One of the best 40k novels continued

A continuation of one of the best Warhammer 40,000 novels. It takes off shortly after the end of Soul Hunter, and introduces a handful of new characters. Andrew Wincott's narration is easy to listen to and understand, though sometimes it can be hard to tell the characters apart by their voices, though there is usually "written" confirmation to which character says what, so it is still somewhat easy to follow. Highly recommended for any Chaos or Night Lords fan that has read or listened to Soul Hunter.

Great Story

From start to finish I couldn’t stop listening. Can’t wait for the next book! Onward!

Definitely a good book

This series has made me a Night Lord fan for sure. Will definitely be make a Night Lord army now, with Talos and 1st Claw.

Grim dark science fiction at its finest

Great continuation of book one. I enjoyed this book as much as the first I will be reading book three soon.

Hound, my beloved

Really great performance and story. Hands down the best book in the NL trilogy. Pacing was great, dialogue was really good! Mercutian and sane Uzas really get flushed out in this one. Hound is the funniest character ever. Maruc was also a really good straight man to Septimus, showing good juxtaposition to Septimus’ dour and fatalist demeanor. Octavia being a bad pilot twice was kinda lame, I get that she wasn’t the best navigator to begin with but she needed more character progression than just “oh no I’m haunted”. Giving Talos a death sentence of 1 year to live is also really good motivator for the next book where he reminds everyone that Night Lords are indeed evil.
