Publisher's summary

For Ianthe, war is all too familiar. A former soldier in the Astra Militarum, she now serves Inquisitor Covenant as an agent of the Throne. Her first mission sees her investigating a cult called the Children of Eternity. Falling foul of the local Enforcers, Ianthe soon learns that war in the shadows is seldom straightforward and that the local, angry law-keepers are the least of her troubles.

Good little short story

Good narration, sound effects, and cast immerses you in the story. Too Short though which is dissapointing.

Maybe the best 40k radio drama!

Like Blade Runner meets Spec Ops in 40k. Good acting, appropriately pulpy noir writing, fun audio design!

Absolutely amazing.

I have always had a dislike of the inquisition but this kind of make me like them a little at least the agents of the throne part. I still hate inqusitors in general.

Short and Sweet

This was slightly over-priced but because of the escalating popularity of the franchise it might've gotten a waver. Making up for the brevity is the A+ voice acting. Very Well done. Again, very well done.

good story, slightly annoying narration

while the voice acting and sound design are, for the most part, really well done, I can't get over the fact that the main characters' narration follows the exact same inflection pattern for every single sentence and certain words were drawn out longer than needed just to keep the rather annoying inflection pattern. other than that, it was a decent listen. I really hope the narration parts are different in the other episodes, and if not, I doubt I'll continue listening to this, which is a shame because I love WH40K

love the audio drama, but pricey

a good story and very well told with sound effects to boot.

get on offer though as full price feels a bit steep.

Just a shame I didn't realise how short it was...

Honestly, it was good, not much to fault. just a shame I hadn't realised how short it was... even paying £2.99 in the sale felt a bit steep for just one hour... felt like teaser, so not worth it or recommended.
shame.

Disjointed.

The presentation jumps about between Recollection, Description, and Audiodrama. Makes for a disjointed mess without any pacing or flow.

Amazing but a bit short

Awesome story. Great characters. Spectacular delivery and a great introduction to a new series. Enjoyed it so much I wished it was longer

Gripping

Standard mix of great story, action, voice acting and atmosphere that you would expect. I only wish it had been longer, though there is another two in the series. Still it would've been nice to hear more.

Anyway. Great stuff

Good story, too short and therefore pricey.

Good story, very short. Won't get the rest of the series unless as an anthology

Too short, too weak

I thought I was going to struggle finishing this one but then it abruptly ended after a very short time and took my money with it. Nice.
