Publisher's summary

Holy warbringer of the Legio Metalica, the Imperator Titan Casus Belli has routed armies and levelled cities over 10,000 years of service in the name of the Machine God.

As war engulfs the Dark Imperium, this mechanical god of battle arrives to destroy the renegade armies and tech-priests of Nicomedua. At the head of a battlegroup of Titans, Imperial Knights and skitarii, Casus Belli must defeat tainted war engines, Traitor Legionnares and armies of cultists.

While apocalyptic battles rage across the planet, a no less deadly battle unfolds within the Titan itself, as Magos Exasus, leader of the Casus Belli’s Tech-guard, must find and defeat the enemy within before their insidious plans come to fruition.

Excellent relatable story from inside a god-machine

Once I got into the cadence and writing style I found this to be incredibly relatable and an excellent story. Would absolutely read more.

Satisfying ending

Overall the audio was done very well. The reader did a splendid job creating unique voices and dialogue for the characters in the story.
I’ve listened to I believe every Titan audio book I can find and this is most likely my least favorite. Mainly because the Titan action is so minimal, which had been my goal for these audiobooks. However, the author did a great job making you care for the characters involved.
If you quickly read through reviews either here or on goodreads, you’ll hear about a big issue the community has about an aspect of a particular protag. For me, even though I wasn’t the biggest fan, understood how this particular character could have arrived to this kind of conclusion. Ultimately it didn’t sway my opinions on this character or the story as a whole.
The ending, mainly the later quarter of the book, is easily my favorite, which makes sense and makes the journey worth it.

it's a good book

I really thought the gender thing was weird at first but then, I realized it's admech and people that are half cyborg

Great listen!

Really enjoy all the aspects of the Warhammer universe and this book does an excellent job of contributing to it!

Loved the intimate focus of life on a god engine

As always superb story and better choice acting really bringing the world to life. I really liked that this particular novel was more of a focus only on the space within a god machine and an epic war within at that. Absolutely recommended.

Warhammer 40K and Political Correctness

Great story, but why the need to use gender neutral pronouns. These are fictional characters in a fictional universe. What is accomplished by using “vim” other than placating a very select few individuals opinions?

Not a lot of story, stretched out of a long period

An ok story, but dry - not much action, almost zero titan battle description (unlike titan death or others) and ultimately was just something to listen to in the background

Liked it!

Was really good to have a unique view on the life within imperator titan.

Praise the Omnissiah!

I loved this book! The story kept me invested and the characters were interesting. It gets my recommendation to any fan of 40k and especially any fans of the Mechanicus!

A rather mediocre successor

The spiritual successor to the first book, the writing failed to capture my attention like the first but I pressed on nonetheless. Reached the 3 hours left and just couldn't finish it. Disappointed seeing as how I rated the last book 5 stars
