Soul Hunter

Warhammer 40,000

De: Aaron Dembski-Bowden

Narrado por: Andrew Wincott

The Night Lords - traitors and killers who use fear as a weapon - face threats from within and without as they struggle to rebuild their Legion and continue to fight the Long War.

Listen to it because:

It's an assured and confident second novel from Aaron Dembski-Bowden that kicks off one of the most acclaimed and beloved series in Black Library history - and it's a chance to see the Long War from the Night Lords' perspective!

The story:

The Night Lords were once among the most potent forces of the Imperium, Space Marines who used fear itself as their weapon. Now, cast adrift from the Emperor's light and hunted as heretics after their monstrous betrayal, the Night Lords clad themselves in symbols of death and fight the Long War, bringing pain and terror to all who worship the corpse-god of Terra.

A summons from Warmaster Abaddon sends these rebels on a dangerous journey that leads inexorably to a conflict with the Emperor's chosen warriors, the Blood Angels.

Written by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. Running time 13 hours and 5 minutes. Narrated by Andrew Wincott.

A normie's review

I dont know who or what Warhammer was before purchasing this book but it doesn't matter. The story itself is expertly written explaining the desperate situation of this army and it's struggles to maintain itself with a lack of supplies, soldiers and horribly low morale. The story really connects the dots between things during the story so you don't need to flounder long without understanding of what the characters are referencing. The characters themselves are well written and have they're own unique personalities that truly feel in-depth and grow throughout the story. It is an epic story and the voice actor himself does an incredible job with his vocies for each character and his line delivery. The voice actor really delivers the feeling of desperation, sorrow, joy and agony in every line. I am honestly blown away at the effort put into this audiobook by a boardgame company and have become intrigued to hear more about the battles these soldiers embark on. I believe I have become a fan of this series and look forward to hearing more.

Great listen. More please..

Loved this. And now I feel the nighthaunter call to me. I must build a nightlords army for the tabletop game

An excellent portrayal of traitor Astartes

A must-read trilogy for any Chaos Space Marine or Night Lords fan, and even loyalists should enjoy it. It portrays a different face of the Traitor Legions that most works that feature them don't. As for the audiobook itself, the narration is easy to listen to and follow, with my only complaint that it's sometimes hard to tell the Space Marines apart, but this isn't too bad, as there's plenty of "said Cyrion" etc. to help you keep track. Highly recommended.

Loved it 😍

Great story, amazing author & narrator. Can't wait to listen to the next book in this trilogy.

Not bad for a bunch of bad guys

First book about chaos marines that I enjoyed. Downloading the sequel as I type this.

just a great book. love the night lords

a really good listen, and great to get a different perspective to the loyalists.

A great novel to jump in with

This is the best novel of the trilogy, you could read just this one of the 3 and still get a great wrap to a story about nightlords. Great to jump into 40K lore if you are already familiar with surface level stuff like the names of units

voice acting was amazing

fun story for vorh sides of the conflict. felt enjoyable and true to the characters and their roles.

Wonderfully atmospheric

Even if you aren't a fan of the 40k world this book is a great entry point. the characters are distinct and the environment is well described. It's easy to envision the book in your mind as it unfolds. I've recommended this to many of my friends already.

Night Lords rule

Well paced can’t wait to listen to the sequel’s!
Talos is a very interesting leader of first claw.
