The Book of Martyrs

Adepta Sororitas: Warhammer 40,000

By: Danie Ware, Alec Worley, Phil Kelly

Narrated by: Remmie Milner, Helen McAlpine, Grace Andrews, Tara Rawson

An Adepta Sororitas audiobook.

Valorous Heart. Our Martyred Lady. Bloody Rose. These names of Adepta Sororitas orders are famed across the galaxy, as are the Battle Sisters who serve the emperor's will.

Listen to it because: the three tales in this volume encompass the bold actions of the Sisterhood across the Imperium as they defend Humanity in the God-Emperor's name.

The story: to die in the name of the God-Emperor of Mankind is to live eternal, and none are more willing to bleed in his name than the Adepta Sororitas - the Sisters of Battle. The Book of Martyrs charts the deaths of these exemplars. Sister Ishani of the Orders Hospitaller, serving alongside the death-obsessed Valorous Heart, tends to her Ecclesiarchy charges as something inhuman hunts the fields. Sister Anarchia of the Order of Our Martyred Lady, taken captive by the vile T’au Empire, seeks to teach her interrogators what it truly means to be one of the faithful. On a regressed Imperial world, Sister Superior Laurelyn of the Order of the Bloody Rose reinforces the beleaguered defenders against a familiar foe turned anew by the Great Rift. And in the age of the Indomitus Crusade, with the galaxy split in two, only one thing is certain - there will be no shortage of martyrs to fill the pages of this ancient tome.

Written by Danie Ware, Alec Worley and Phil Kelly. Narrated by Harry Myers. Runtime 11 hours one minute.

Worth it if you’re a fan

The first story was read so fast, I had to turn down the speed to enjoy it at all.

The second story was fantastic - worth a credit for 5 hours of Tau alone.

The last story was plagued by mediocre writing and mediocre narration. The story was credible, but the dialog and repetitive descriptions were tiresome. It wouldn’t have been as much of an issue the narrator could carry the poor dialog, but she couldn’t. At all.

Awesome Book

Awesome audio book love any book with the battle sisters in it! Truly enjoyed this audio book

Could have been a 5 overall but for one thing.

The first two stories were great; loved the plots, the readers voices, and their narrative abilities. However, the last story I couldn't get through due to the breathy inhalations of the reader. I started to focus on when I would hear the next inhale and could not pay attention to the story.

AMAZING

Oh man what a book!!! I loved every story and the suspense was great!! Can not recommend enough

Stories Good, Voicework Not So Much

I enjoyed the series of stories but struggled to get past the lackluster voice work compared to other 40k stories.
