About this listen

A Gunnar Brand Audiobook

Gunnar Brand and his people are survivors. Enduring the predations of madmen, monsters, and the gods themselves, the Brands have earned survival through grit and fortitude, each fell deed they perform brings the blessings of the Dark Gods.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Explore the struggles of a Darkoath Chieftain desperately trying to balance the survival of his tribe, his own ambitions, and the will of the Dark Gods.

THE STORY

When calamity befalls their home, Gunnar Brand must step up to lead his tribe, embarking on a grim and perilous exodus through a Realm of Fire ravaged by war.

Haunted by an unfulfilled oath, his duties as chieftain soon conflict with his deep-rooted sense of destiny, and he discovers that the attentions of the Dark Gods are not so easily ignored.

Even now they whisper to him, for they know the road Gunnar Brand travels, and call his exodus by another name: the Path to Glory.

Written by Chris Thursten. Narrated by Jon Rand. Runtime 10 hours and 36 minutes, approx.

A interesting story that follows in from the new edition events and how it has effected the DARKOATH.

Great story follows on from 4th Edition

Awesome to hear about the motivations of the Darkoath, especially with the choices they face for survival in the Vermondoom. The Narrator should be THE narrator for AoS stories ❤️

Great story and awesome narrator!

The book was amazing at exploring fascinating ideas around the worship of Chaos without losing track of being a riveting action story. Poignant, clever, thrilling. It's beautifully written and very well read. It was a real treat to experience the depth of Chris's thinking about the tensions in a human follower of the dark gods and leader of their people.

Enthralling human view of Chaos

I'm not overly familiar with New or Old Hammer so while I know what Skaven are I don't know what's the Gnaw(?). With that caveat, I founds this to be a fun tale of a manly antihero doing really manly things (like following through on the things he said he would do - phwoar!). It doesn't have anything meaningful to say about anything substantive but that's probably fine for a Warhammer book. I enjoyed my time with it and the narration definitely resonates with the tone of the story.

A fun romp

Great narration, but the story itself is quite fragmented and confused. Strange blend of Norse themes in a Warhammer world. I can see what they were trying to achieve but it's just a bit confused for me, and tries to be too many things. Worth a listen but not as good as some of the other WH titles!

great narration, odd story

the casting was a stroke of genius and made the whole book something else.
It was nice to see a perspective from some normalish people on the chaos side.

the voice

Yet another brilliant opportunity for the Age of Sigmar literary universe to be laid bare, in all of its wicked glory, only to devolve in to tropes and what feels like lazy, or badly directed, plot development. The stereotypes and predictable twists can be seen coming from chapters away, and the final few chapters just get jumbled together in to a heap. There is so much potential in the worlds of Age of Sigmar, but so much time is wasted hammering on nails to set the tedious tone. I feel for the author of they were pushed in a direction they didn't want, but if not, it is yet another Black Library author who can't see a story through.

Well Read, Poor Read

Almost Identical to several Slaves to Darkness / Darkoath stories that have come before it. Except it has Skaven. Really really disappointing. If you've never read a Slaves to Darkness book before you might enjoy it. If you have skip it. Same tale rehashed over and over again. Books like Godeaters Son and Scourge of Fate are far superior. Wasn't even able to finish listening to this one it was so boring.

Extremely bland

The book is very boring and dry with story and characters feeling dragged out. The actor reading it was good but couldent save this dribble marathon of a book

Good actor poor story
