Length: 13 hrs and 29 mins

Publisher's summary

A Necromunda audiobook

Dark secrets lurk in the Fallen Dome of Periculus, and Tempes Sol of the Guild of Light seeks them out to cement his place in the underhive - if he, and Hive Primus itself, can survive what he unleashes.

Listen to it because: venture into the darkest reaches of the underhive with a soul who seeks to bring light and forge his destiny, and experience the horrors that follow.

The story: the Fallen Dome of Periculus, once a hub of sanctioned commerce and illicit dealings, is lost no more...and the prizes it holds are sought by noble, Guilder, and hive scum alike.

For Tempes Sol of the Guild of Light, Periculus is an opportunity to not only prove his superiority over his superstitious peers but also to see the end of Lord Silas Pureburn, Keeper of the God-Emperor’s Eternal Flame, bringer of fire and faith to the rioting masses, and his most hated rival.

But Periculus did not fall by chance. Dark secrets lurk in its shadows - forbidden archeotech, twisted creatures that feast on flesh, and an insidious rage afflicts all who dwell inside its confines. As madness and violence erupt within the fallen dome, the legacy of Periculus threatens not only to consume the underhive, but ultimately Hive Primus itself.

Written by Denny Flowers. Narrated by Joe Jameson. Running time 13 hours 30 minutes.

Amazing - the Narration was equally amazing

Story was excellent and captures Necromunda extremely well. I was insanely impressed with the narration. Joes ability to capture the various characters most appropriately and provide the grimdark feel was astounding. You can tell he read the book in advance and gave thought to how each should be portrayed as his tone exemplified even the most minute details of the book. I loved it.

Necromunda at its best

I’m always a fan of the books that explore the 40K universe away from the battle lines and this may be the best yet. Denny Flowers has done a fantastic job weaving in all the gangs and guilders into a story that rips along like a Cawdor chain glaive. Joe Jameson’s narration is perfect. He breathes life into the characters. As a combination, it’s an excellent Audible experience whether you are a longtime fan of 40K or someone just dipping their first toe into that world. Highly recommended.

could have been great

I really enjoyed this book but the ending just felt rushed and unsatisfactory, maybe it's gonna be a series.

Top 5 of all the Necromunda books I've read.

excellent complex story that weaves together existing characters and story arcs quite successfully. the decision to have an honest truthseeker and a man of science in the story was fascinating.

Thoroughly Enjoyed!

Just getting into the game and wanted some fiction to get me into the world. This was recommended by a friend and it didn’t disappoint! Gives a great insight into the hive and various gangs. Voice acting was superb, story was great… What more do you want?

Excellent story; Decent performance

Fantastic story surrounding surrounding the dealings of the various merchant guilds in necromunda. The narrator has some really interesting voices unfortunately fortunately hes somewhat inconsistent with them isn't with them and it is sometimes difficult to tell who is meant to be speaking to be speaking which is the only reason he didn't get 5 stars.

Great story about the citizens and gangs of a Hive

This story is a breath of fresh air. I love space marines etc... BUT if you want to mix it up and see how other parts/ppl of the Empire are living this is fantastic. Gangs, Guilders, Gladiators, zealots, and slaves all the usual extras of 40k star in this and its a fantastic setting with a very good story. Excellent Voice Actor as well.

Don’t listen to the other reviewers

Most of the other reviewers are not very educated in the world of auditory literature. This is the scene setting for necromunda that will inspire you to start your story based campaign.

Best Narrater!

The story is good, it stumbles a little here and there, but for a Black Library novel it’s fantastic. The narrator is what really sells it though, so many voices!

If you like Necromunda and 40k fiction you’ll probably like this book. It focuses more on powerful figures than the downtrodden than a usual Necromunda novel, but there is a nice mix of things.

If you like house Delaque or Cowdor you’ll defiantly want to read it.

Lovely story

Iz good. Got fire and Magiks and other fun things that people like to read about.
