Book one of the Chronicles of Uriel Ventris

Newly promoted Ultramarines Captain Uriel Ventris is assigned to investigate Pavonis, an Imperial planet plagued by civil disorder and renegade eldar raiders.

Listen to it because: here is where the legend begins: the first mission of Uriel Ventris as captain of the Ultramarines Fourth Company.

The story: newly promoted to the captaincy of the Ultramarines Fourth Company, Uriel Ventris leads his warriors to the world of Pavonis, where vicious alien raiders are bringing death and destruction. As Pavonis descends into political turmoil, Uriel and his warriors must battle the xenos as they unravel a plot to unleash an ancient evil buried deep beneath the world - the mysterious and deadly Nightbringer.

Awesome!!!!

Enjoyed it the whole way through. A mix of terror, and Adrenaline mix with Good narration and story. Haven’t read a Warhammer 40k book like this in some time. DWW

Bruce kills it

The narrator is phenomenal! Great story! Great start to my Warhammer 40k journey! Played DoW and finally decicided to dive into the books!

Volume between whisper and yelling range is too much

Great story. But volume difference between normal speech and yelling is too extreme. Sometimes within same sentence.

Excellent narration with good story!

The narrator is new to me, but has impressed me immensely with his voice skills.
The story is exciting at moments, but I found all the "twists, turns, and surprises" to be highly predictable. As far as the Ultramarines, they do what Ultramarines do as always. I found the Arbites to be more human and less "Ultra Chad" than the Astartes. Overall, worth the listen, especially if you like Loyalist Astartes.

WE ARE ULTRAMARINES

Dark Eldar vs. the space marine chapter your girl told you not to worry about.
