Siege of Vraks

Warhammer 40,000

By: Steve Lyons

Narrated by: Timothy Watson

A Death Korps Audiobook

Vraks is an armoury world that is vital to the struggling Imperium and its efforts to resist the wider threats to humanity. The planet is a key link in the long supply chain that keeps the beleaguered Imperial regiments stationed around the Eye of Terror and ready for war.

The stoic Death Korps of Krieg have been assigned to this desperate world's defence. The grim soldiers of this regiment are born to serve the Emperor, as below Krieg’s irradiated surface is a human factory, existing only to produce soldiers destined for the front line in the Imperium’s most toxic and gruelling warzones. These indoctrinated soldiers are unflinchingly loyal and willing to sacrifice themselves without question or regard to ultimately win victory.

And they will need all these qualities to face the horrors awaiting them on Vraks…

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Understand just how the Death Korps of Krieg have earned their reputation as the Imperium’s most ruthless fighters in this gripping tale of desperate defence and defiant loyalty. Even when all seems lost, new ways to survive and fight are unearthed, as an officer named Tyborc, expecting to die, finds a new way to live.

THE STORY

Vraks has fallen.

Mustering an army from the ranks of the Death Korps of Krieg, the Astra Militarum embarks on a long and desperate siege to save the planet from the madness of an apostate preacher. It will last seventeen years, cost the lives of millions, and attract the attention of daemons and heretics alike, but the Death Korps must claw back victory, inch by bloody inch, from the hands of the enemy.

Góð bók

Þetta er sgemti leg útgáfa af þessu stríði frá öru sjónar hornni sem ég hef ekki heirt áður

Excellent story and narration

Top 10 WH audiobook, everything was excellent, from the plot, to the characters to the wonderful narrator

Great story with one minor performance issue.

I loved the story from beginning to end, it did a great job of fleshing out the death korps as human while simultaneously staying true to their reputation. The performance was great as it’s the same reader Timothy Watson who has done an excellent job reading the other death korps of krieg novels. However for some reason in the other two novels he’s read, the kriegsmen had German accents which is completely lacking in this novel making it sometimes hard to tell what characters are speaking since there are several non kriegsmen also in the book. Overall a great book and reader that could have been better, but is still good.

This was a wonderful story. It was very entertaining and I love to see more Krieg on here.

I didn’t dislike anything in the book. Auldible is making me put something here. (It has a minimum word count for this box)

A great look into the philosophy of the Death Corps of Kreig in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40k.

I think the best part of this book is it's exploration of the value of life under a crushing war of attrition.
