Dead Men Walking

Warhammer 40,000

By: Steve Lyons

Narrated by: Timothy Watson

An Imperial Guard Audiobook

The Death Korps of Krieg arrive at a mining world overrun by necrons, determined to win this brutal war at any cost.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The Death Korps are unlike any other Astra Militarum unit – batch-bred, born to fight, and completely indoctrinated to their cause. See how effective that can be in this storming story.

THE STORY

When the necrons rise, a mining planet descends into a cauldron of war and the remorseless foes decimate the human defenders. Salvation comes in an unlikely form - the Death Korps of Krieg, a force as unfeeling as the necrons themselves. When the two powers go to war, casualties are high and the magnitude of the destruction is unimaginable.

Aren’t we all just dead men walking?

This is a book about methodical, slow, immovable, cold-blooded, calculating force fighting versus necrons. The Death Korps are cold, nihilistic and utterly alien and this book ends up being insanely brutal when all is said and done. The story is almost entirely devoid of war glorification. This is akin to WWI in the depiction of thankless meat grinder campaigns. Again, another nod at the Death Korps troopers who are observed from many angles, but could never provide their own voice.

"Gunthar Soreson was dead. Along with everything he had valued in his meaningless life."

Great listen.

Them Death Korps of Krieg fellas sure are cool as a cucumber. This book had me captivated, listened to the whole thing on a road trip.

Very enjoyable

very enjoyable?! To the max! Standalone book, so no big deal if you haven't read other Warhammer 40k books

Holy Terra

This book was fantastic. I mean, jeez....the feels! Great Story. Awesome narration.
I've been reading/listening to a ton of 40k novels, but most have been parts of series. this was a truly amazing stand alone novel. I can't wait till this comes back up in rotation and I get to listen to it again.

Kriegers vs. Necrons

Steve Lyons provides another grim dark dose of our favorite stoic siege boys (not painted yellow) with delightful results. All around great listen.
