Dude needs to do some inquisition stories.

A looooootttttttttt of combat, so if that’s not your speed don’t get the book, but that being said the only thing that was bad about that, was that I wish we had gotten to spend more time with the actual characters. Whenever the characters were actually being themselves I absolutely loved them, I just wanted more time with them, very good problem to have. The author is a completely new writer for 40k, hes only done a few short stories. He’s a retired us military officer,and it shows, I hope to god he’s gonna be a main stay writer for 40k.

What happens when you have a US Army Vet write an Guard book

You get one of the best Imperal Guard books in ages. It's true grim dark with no character safe and beautifully detailed action scenes. If you where ever in the military you pick up on all the little references in the book that makes it feel more like a real war. If you love IG you need to read this book, if you love sci fi military you need to read this book. This is definitely the IG book of the year and maybe 40K book of the year.

Big fan of R.S. Wilt so far

I love the story and the characters. This ties into R.S. Wilt's previous short story "The Guns of Enth" which was about my chosen chapter: The Howling Griffons.
The reader, Andrew Wincott is definitely talented, my only complaint is that he defaults to a voiced whisper a little too often.

while combat scenes are good, anything in the middle is a slog

Combat scenes have great visuals, but I feel like anything connecting them was written by AI given prompts to maximize the pseudo religious 40k stuff to a max.

had to return it. didn't like it.

Great book

The book itself was really good and I love how the author uses a lot of the phrasing of the military correctly and actually uses over and then out correctly as well and not just saying “over and out”

The downside of the book is the narrator likes to have the same kind of style of voice for about 80% of the characters. At first, that really bothered me but I just got used to it, but it still was an annoyance

It is ok

Decent combat book. a little hard to follow at times, but overall middle of the road.

Action packed

Overall pretty good i enjoyed it a lot although it wasnt the easiest listen. Basically non stop action/fighting scenes with a lot of different characters so i had to be locked in to properly listen to this and be able to picture everything that was happening and remember who everyone is. Would be an incredible live action series or animated movie. Andrew is great but theres only so many different voices you can do when theres this many characters.
