Warriors of Ultramar

The Chronicles of Uriel Ventris: Warhammer 40,000, Book 2

De: Graham McNeill

Narrado por: Bruce Mackinnon

Audiobook two of the Chronicles of Uriel Ventris

The Great Devourer is descending on the world of Tarsis Ultra, but to defeat the xenos horrors, Captain Uriel Ventris may have to embark upon a dangerous and unorthodox mission.

Listen to it because: it's a classic tale of the Space Marines against tyranids...with a twist. Conventional tactics fail, the Ultramarines way of war is insufficient...but if he uses other means to win the war, Uriel Ventris may lose far more.

The story: the Ultramarines are the epitome of a Space Marine Chapter. Warriors without peer, their name is a byword for discipline and honour, and their heroic deeds are legendary. The Great Devourer is descending on the world of Tarsis Ultra, a world under the protection of the Ultramarines. Captain Uriel Ventris and his warriors - allied with their barbaric cousins from the Mortifactors Chapter - rally the forces of the planet to defend against the tyranids. But to defeat the xenos horrors, Uriel may have to turn his back on the Ultramarines' teachings and embark upon a dangerous and unorthodox mission.

This edition also includes the prequel short story 'Leviathan', which sees Ventris and his Ultramarines board a space hulk an encounter the vanguard of the hive fleets: the feared genestealers.

Written by Graham McNeill. Running time 10 hours six minutes. Narrated by Bruce Mackinnon.

The Uriel Ventris books are my second best audio books to listen too next to Chiapas Cane’s

For the Emperor!

One of my favorite 40k books! Awesome to have it as an audiobook! Recommended!

Epic story with a predictable end.

The story was well written and the voicing was good. I love these stories of Uriel and this had a bonus of including void war with tyranids.

Amazingly great 40K book!

I thought this was a fantastic 40K, Space Marine, and Ultramarine book! Better than the first in my opinion. Some great interactions between different Space Marine chapters and the Imperial Guard too. Fun, exciting, and occasionally gross battle scenes keep it punchy along with some interesting world building and 40k lore. Don’t sleep on the Ventris series!

Better than the first book!

I enjoyed the pacing of this story, as well as the narration. It portrayed an in depth experience with Uriel at the head of it.

Good series, mine is missing the "leviathan" story

missing the "included" story about the space hulk and gene stealers. fairly upset by this as its stated its included

Awkward narration

The writing was somewhat awkward in parts, like particular words being used too many times close together, but fine overall.
The narrator would often mess up inflections or the quality would change from spliced editing which hurt the immersion.

excellent ultramarines book

Another awesome SM book with lots of action and violence.
highly recommended SM book
The VA did an excellent job with the voices and overall presentation.

Pure grim dark!

It’s Ultramarines, Tyranids, and Kreig. What’s not to love? Captures the essence of the grim dark and the struggles under the hive mind.

A good Epic

This book was incredible. It was able to build suspense like no other book, beautifully weaving plot lines with each other and foreshadowing events amazingly. I will be purchasing a hard copy to display
