Ahriman: Sorcerer

Ahriman: Warhammer 40,000, Book 2

By: John French

Narrated by: Mark Elstob

Book two in the Ahriman series.

Ahriman, greatest sorcerer of the Thousand Sons and architect of the Rubric that laid his Legion low, continues to walk the path towards salvation, or damnation. Searching for a cure for his Legion, he is forced to consider - was the great ritual somehow flawed from the very beginning?

Listen to it because:

This is the second part in the tale of one of Warhammer 40,000's most notorious villains. The Ahriman series explores the motivations of this dark sorcerer in greater depth than ever before. Horus Heresy fans will also find plenty to enjoy as the story harks back to events of this great civil war, particularly the fate of the lost Book of Magnus.

The story:

Ahriman, greatest sorcerer of the Thousand Sons and architect of the Rubric that laid his Legion low, continues to walk the path towards salvation, or damnation. Searching for a cure for his Legion, he is forced to consider - was the great ritual somehow flawed from the very beginning? The answer may lie within the mysterious artefact known as the Athenaeum of Kalimakus, a grimoire of forgotten knowledge that is reputed to contain the exact words of the lost Book of Magnus...or, perhaps, even a transcription of the primarch’s deepest and most secret thoughts.

Written by John French. Audiobook narrated by Mark Elstob.

What a rollercoaster!

One of my favorite Warhammer books, the center of the novel is frustrating to watch plan upon plan fall to ruin but trust me- the end is well worth it!

Questions piled on questions.

The voices performed by the narrator are a little different from the first book, mainly on Cadin. The story grows more and more complex to a point be the end I had to stop and think about what just happened and what it meant for the earliest parts of the story. absolutely fantastic job by Mr. French

amazing work! as usual.

I really want Mark Elstob to know that I think he's a fantastic narrator and I'm very grateful to have his voice in this series.

All is dust

The story was pretty good but the only downside I noticed was that when there was a scene change there was not indication of the change. This did cause for some story whiplash but I adapted to this feeling after a few times. The higher pitched characters did fall a bit flat for me but the story made me not notice.

Fantastic

Always love anything to do with Ahriman and with one was absolutely no exception.
