Warhammer 40,000

by Ben Counter (Contributor), David Annandale (Contributor), Chris Wraight (Contributor)

A Warhammer 40,000 audio drama collection

Discover some of the dedicated servants of mankind's Imperium - Assassins, Commissars and Inquisitors - as they battle the many foes of humanity across eight audio dramas.

Listen to it because:

Many are the warriors who defend the Imperium - and this is your chance to find out about several of them, including the infamous Inquisitor Eisenhorn.

Description:

In the sprawling Imperium of Mankind, everyone serves the Emperor in their own way. From the Inquisitors who hunt the hidden enemies of humanity in the dark places of the galaxy to the brave soldiers who stand on the front line, and the Imperial Assassins who can change the tides of war with a single shot, each has a part to play in preserving the Imperium.

This audio drama anthology contains eight stories of the agents who dispense the Emperor's justice. You'll find two tales of Imperial Assassins plying their deadly trade, one of an Imperial Commissar haunted by ghosts of his past and five stories about agents of the Imperial Inquisition, including the famous and feared Inquisitors Eisenhorn, Ravenor and Greyfax.

Reviews

[Noctvrnal · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lovely collection of stories, definitely worth checking out if one does not desire to hunt these tales separately. Narration is high quality and very immersive, nothing else to expect from Black Library.

[Bud Winn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Superb - loving these Audible audio dramas, especially for Warhammer 40K

[Brother · Rating 2 out of 5]

A audio drama.

[Charles · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent short stories, a couple of recycled ones from the Eisenhorn universe, but free on Audible plus. Definitely worth picking up if you have Audible and are a fan of the genre.

[Cloak88 · Rating 4 out of 5]

A mix of good and average audio-dramas.

This collection is a grab-bag of 40K short stories with Imperial Agents as their main focal point. Among the protagonist are Assassins, Inquisitors and a Commissar. The stories vary a bit in quality and may or may not be to your liking based on you personal taste. The overall quality of this collection however is superb. With immersive voice-acting and sound effects you'll be swept up in the story regardless.

'Kill Shot' by Ben Counter ⭐⭐½
Assassin Vs. Heretic.
Cool concept, but execution felt lacking until the end explained thins.

'Judge of the Wastes' by David Annandale⭐⭐⭐
Unsettling warstory and the emotional strain of fighting the unnatural with a Commissar as POV.

'The Interrogation of Salvor Lermentov' by Chris Wraight⭐⭐⭐
Driving home the Imperum isn't a pleasant place when the Inquisition are the pleasant ones.

'Eye of Night' by Gav Thorpe⭐⭐⭐
Guilliman sends Inquisitor Greyfax to find a powerful Warp-Artifact.

'The Emperor's Judgement' by Joe Parrino ⭐⭐⭐
Caladius Vs. Eversor Assasin set as a precursor to the novel Execution Force

'Thorn Wishes Talon' by Dan Abnett ⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Master Imus's Transgression' by Dan Abnett ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Regia Occulta' by Dan Abnett'Regia Occulta' by Dan Abnett ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Three stories about a young Gregor Eisenhorn. Like most of Abnett's other works these are fantastic.

In short this collection is a pretty good introduction for new 40K readers to sample what is out there.
