About this listen

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.

Graham weaves an epic story. Proper tyranid combat and space marine character driven story telling.

Great story but terrible editing, sound drops off every so often with very poorly edited parts

poor editing

It is clear that there were many edits in the narration as the difference in sound from the original recording and the retakes sound very different. It ruins the performance and the book should be redone with a better narrator.

Great story. Terrible narrator.

A thoroughly enjoyable listen and embodies the iconic large scale fight-to-the-last that you expect from 40k. Though I felt this could have spent more time in development. Throughout the mission to fire the orbital defense laser I was wondering "why are we doing this?". Felt like we were padding out the novel before the endgame. I think it should have just been presented differently, as one of many strikes against the Tyranids.

The vocal performance also seemed rushed. there were many places especially towards the end, where you could hear that a single sentence or phrase was recorded in a different studio and editted in. As always though, Bruce nailed the male characters voices.

Would definitely listen to it again.

Great "Space Marine" story through and through

i gave a 5 but i do feel almost any other of the known warhammer narrators would have been far better for this series of books

a good story spoiled but the wrong narrator

Second book just as thrilling as the first Ureil Ventris and the Ultramarines, can't wait for the third installment.

Fantastic second installment

Great story and Performance, only complaint is that the audio changes quality frequently which can be jarring. Other than that I loved exploring another Planet and even other Successor Chapters of the Ultrama.

Revenge is certainly served cold

This is the classic tale of a tyranid invasion of an imperial world, with a little part of the story given to each horrible creature, and each flawed defender. Well constructed and satisfying, with no wasted verbiage, it does what it says on the tin.
Not only a good book, but a good examination of how different characters can find adventure at different scales during a massive conflict.
Thumbs up from me

The nids are coming!!!

You either love these bolter porn books or hate them and after listening to three or four I am still undecided, I actually wanted more of the other characters such as snow or pavel and definitely I wanted more Mortifactors storyline but it just reverted to Uriel being Uriel albeit he did don his Deathwing armour, Bruce has got better as a narrator but can’t capture the listener with this materiel

Really good story. I have a soft spot for the 'normal' humans in 40k, and here they abound.

All action. Blood and guts.
