Wayyy better than I expected

Way better than I expected. Ive run through most of the 40k books on audible and was just listening to this because I had nothing else. WHAT A MISTAKE! Very good performance and very good book. Cool look inside the navigator houses and cool to hear the inquisition not be omnipotent. Well read for a female vocalist. Overall im impressed, i hope there are more like this.

An Engaging Story About the Secretive Navigators

Never before has there been a story so engaging and exciting. Within the pages of this book are the secrets of the rarely spoken of Navigator Houses. Helen Keeley does a magnificent job of bringing Mike Brooks' story to life.

Follow the footsteps of Lady Probantis, Novator of House Probantis, as she is drawn into an intrigue that threatens not only her and those around her, but also the greater Imperium of Man.

Pretty good

I listened to a lot of WH40K audio books. This narrator did a very good job. I usually don't enjoy female narrators very much and with 40k there are the usual 2 established names. So im happy to say this was a very well voice acted story.

It’s a good despite what narwhal said

Listen, this is a very good book performed by a very talented VA. It’s that simple.
Dont listen to the mouth breathers who complain that there is a gay character, it has no impact on the story and it hardly brought up.
You’ll most likely see the review, it’s not hard to miss due to its rambling babble of trying to sound smart by calling women “females”.
I mean cmon buddy that is a MASSIVE red flag
40K is fine, the gate is shut. Dont turn it into a platform to spread hate

One of the best stories in the Dark Millenium!

Outstanding character development and a very well crafted story makes this one of the gems in the 40k library.
