About this listen

Book 2 in the Gaunt's Ghosts series

Of all the Astra Militarum regiments who fought in the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, few are as celebrated as the Tanith First - Gaunt's Ghosts. Now, their tragic origins and earliest battles are revealed....

Listen to it because:

Discover the origins of Gaunt's Ghosts and see the Tanith First and Only are put through the wringer as they overcome their home world's destruction and battle the forces of Chaos.

The story:

On Monthax, Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt and his Tanith First-and-Only await the order to advance into the sweltering jungle and drive the alien eldar from the world. As battle approaches, Gaunt walks the lines, raising his men's spirits and remembering their most heroic deeds - and the tragedies that have dogged Gaunt's Ghosts from the day of their founding on lost Tanith. The day that Gaunt became known as the Ghostmaker.

Written by Dan Abnett. Running time 10 hours 16 minutes. Narrated by Toby Longworth.

This is not really a novel rather a collection of shorts which I found a little disappointing. The writing however is still typically Abnett with superb narration by TL.

A collection of short stories

Narrative was not as compelling as First and Only but the characters of the Ghosts were explored further in this second installment to really begin complementing Abram Gaunt. Well read by Toby Longworth as always.

characters developed well after first installment.

Each character get his or her own voice. Their own accent.
Toby doesn't just read the pages in front of him, he acts them out.

Toby Longworth is amazing.

The book itself is good, the story is fun, the characters endeering the moments memorable. From the underestimated brag procing his worth to Larking being Larking. It is more of the good stuff. But it lacks much of a cohesive story and instead of following a plot it more or less follows a series of stories about the ghosts. Near the end it gets a bit of a plot and one of the best chapters and a few of my favourite moments from all the books i have read happen. But in the end i got stuck a lot, the lack of plot makes it so you dont feel the need to return to know how it ends. When you start a chapter chances are that you wanna finish it straight away as the chapters are very well written and provide great, fun, interesting and often funny stories. zthere(german sthere intended) is something endeering about the ghosts more or less working themselves in an inescapleble situation to then come out of it against all odds and sometimes on purpose or not winning the battle before the rest of the imperial army can advance. It is a good book, well worth a credit. Read it, but i hope the next few bools will be better even do this one was good

Ever enjoyable do sometimes staggering
