Titanicus

Warhammer 40,000

By: Dan Abnett

Narrated by: Toby Longworth

A Sabbat Worlds novel.

When the vital forge world of Orestes comes under attack by a legion of Chaos Titans, the planet is forced to appeal for help. The Titans of Legio Invicta respond, committing their own force of war engines to the battle.

Listen to it because....

It's a vision of total war in the 41st millennium, from the smallest soldier to the largest God-Machine.

The story:

When the vital forge world of Orestes comes under attack by a legion of Chaos Titans, the planet is forced to appeal for help. The Titans of Legio Invicta, although fresh from combat and in desperate need of refit and repair, respond, committing their own force of war engines to the battle. As the god-machines stride to war, the world trembles, for the devastation they unleash could destroy the very world they have pledged to save.

Written by Dan Abnett. Narrated by Toby Longworth. Run time 13 hours and 39 minutes

Ghosts in the machine

Giant engines of destruction. Cybernetic warriors. A heresy from the past. Intrigue and chaos. Whats not to like!?!?

Also… when you pair Dan Abnett’s writing with Tobey Longworth’s narration you are in for a great experience.

My favorite themes of the story are how the Princeps and their God machines interact and how their personalities mesh (or don’t mesh).

It was hard for me to really connect with the mechanicus characters, i guess it is my lack of cybernetic augmentation, but that will be taken care of soon… time to ditch this filthy flesh for the purity of the machine.

good story

I like dans work, I like how he's built a whole crusade by himself basically

epic story, a wonderful dive into the ad mec

listened to it 3 times to make sure I didn't miss anything, wonderful story. excellent look into titans of warhammer 40k

Excellent

It's exactly what you would want from a book called Titanicus. As always, Abnett delivers an excellent mix of perspectives. Everything from the point of view of the pilots of the god machines, to the ordinary citizens.

One point of note, if you've been reading the Ghost novels, this book is set within the same theater of the Sabbat War, but you really don't need to know anything about the other books to listen to this one. You also won't be spoiling yourself at all if you skip ahead and listen to this before being fully caught up with the Tanith.

First 40K book.

Could have used more titans. A little predictable. But I still enjoyed the ride and multiple storylines. Not sure what was the point of the crazy guy in the garden, might figure it out on the second playthrough or realize I missed it in his introduction. Addicted to the lore.
