About this listen

A Space Marine Conquests audiobook.

Concerned by his Chapter’s diminishing numbers, Logan Grimnar entrusts Njal Stormcaller with finding a remedy for the Space Wolves' plight - a remedy that may lie in the least likely of places, on the damned world of Prospero.

Listen to it because....

Space Wolves and Thousand Sons are eternal foes, and this audiobook explores events from the Horus Heresy and the Space Wolves' circumstances in the 41st millennium in interesting and exciting ways.

The story....

The grand halls of Fenris grow ever quieter in the wake of the Space Wolves' arduous campaigns. Concerned by his Chapter’s diminishing numbers, the Great Wolf Logan Grimnar entrusts Njal Stormcaller with a task - to find a remedy for their plight.

When a 10,000-year-old enemy embeds itself in the Rune Priest’s mind, it claims that the salvation he seeks lies where an ancient enmity began - on Prospero, the ruined home world of the Thousand Sons Legion. Alongside an eclectic company of injured Space Wolves, thralls, and a trickster who is more hindrance than help, the Stormcaller sets forth. But it soon becomes apparent that greater mechanisms are at work. It is no longer only the fate of the Sons of Russ that is at stake, but that of the entire Imperium.

Written by Gav Thorpe. Narrated by John Banks. Duration 9 hours 24 minutes.

really enjoyed getting some insight into the war on Prospero and the Space Wolves and Thousand sons. As always John Banks continues to be by far and away the best narrator in the Black Library.

really interesting insights

The highlight of this book is Lucas, the trickster.
Without him, it would be really missing something special.

A good read

I’m not normally one to rant about Gav Thorpe’s writing but this is superb. A must read for any fans of the Space Wolves and the Thousands Sons. Some open threads to feed further story arcs and plenty of characters to follow. Really enjoyed this, five stars.

Truly excellent

....and that voice is keen on making fun of the story's protagonist. This gets too annoying very fast and I had to stop listening several times only because I just couldn't take it anymore. Usually characters like that tend to be humorous, Thorpe however made the choice of keeping 'the voice' purely annoying.

Every single thing that happens in this book takes way too long. Maybe arguing with 'spacewolf guard #5' isn't pertinent to the plot, but again, the author makes the choice of forcibly lenghtening every little thing. I'd rather have a shorter book where the story progresses instead of whatever this is.

On a general note, the story is good enough but the way it's written is sometimes just too much.
