About this listen

A Thousand Sons Audiobook

The greatest sorcerer of the Thousand Sons has finally found the relic he's been searching for – the Key of Infinity. But is it too late for him to use it?

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

One of the most enduring character arcs in all of Warhammer 40,000 approaches the verge of closure... but nothing is ever that simple. Ahriman has achieved much and gathered incredible power – will he be able to realise that it's come at the cost of everything he once fought for?

THE STORY

Ahriman languishes on the threshold of space and time, adrift in a sub-realm of unknowable dimension and aspect. He has found it at long last: the ancient device known to the necrons as the Key of Infinity. This should be his moment of triumph – but he is not the Ahriman he used to be. Betrayed and lost, he is a solitary sorcerer, bereft of allies, standing amongst the smashed and ruined ephemera of his grand designs.

With his dreams as dust and his Legion consumed by the fires of the Pyrodomon, Ahriman must fight his way across the shattered remnants of his past if he is to have any hope of saving his future.

Good story, can't wait for the next part. But the narrator is... I mean he's doing a good job with all of the character's voices. But while narrating the plateu of zero emotions is tiresome. Especially while listening to in a car.

For every TS fan.

It uses the old trope of it 'never really happened', but in a fun way where the characters shine. Also, a proper Ahriman and the black library book is something to look forward to.

Re-used trope, but good

interesting structure creates intrigue and tension. Getting closer to Ahriman in the grimdark 40k 'present'.

intricate and satisfying plot

The whole series is good once you get over the slight ‘Kenneth Williams’ sound to the Thousand Sons. Not epic, but well worth it.

Ahriman the GOAT

Another delightful dose of Ahriman-Tier Just As Planned, perfect set-up for more stories, and the perfect voice actor for these characters.

as the title suggests I felt there was alot of words in this book that doesn't tell much of the story, you could read/listen to the begining and the end and not miss much by not listening to the middle. a shame but not a reason not to listen to this, performed well and the general story was fine

alot of words without alot of story

I have no idea why, 4 hours into the 5th book of this series, they decided to put ambient background sounds into some scenes. As a headphone user (as I imagine the majority of users are) the ambient sounds of engine hum etc is utterly horrific. It feels like your whole head is filled with the sound, and it is exceptionally jarring when it hasn't been historically used in the earlier titles.

The story is as good as ever, but the addition of these unnecessary sounds really spoiled large swathes of the second half of this book. 😒

Horrific ambient sounds
