Belisarius Cawl: The Great Work

Warhammer 40,000

De: Guy Haley

Narrado por: John Banks

An Adeptus Mechanicus novel.

In the wake of the Great Rift, Belisarius Cawl turns his attention to the abandoned world of Sotha. Once home to the Scythes of the Emperor, it also hides a long-buried secret...and an ancient evil.

Listen to it because:

Cawl is one of the most fascinating characters in the Dark Imperium, and Guy Haley gets right into his memory circuits as he seeks ancient secrets that will blow your mind.

The story:

Belisarius Cawl, Archmagos Dominus of the Adeptus Mechanicus, is the most brilliant mind alive. For 10,000 years he has furthered the cause of mankind, working under the aegis of the Emperor and Lord Commander Roboute Guilliman to prevent the inexorable march of the alien and the traitor. Many call him heretic, but all must recognise the magnitude of his achievements, for who else but he was entrusted to create a new generation of Space Marines?

Who else but the great Belisarius Cawl could even accomplish such a task? Now, in the wake of the Great Rift and the Indomitus Crusade, his ambitions bring him to the long-dead world of Sotha, once home to the Scythes of the Emperor, now a barren wasteland devoured by the vile Tyranids. Accompanied by Tetrarch Felix and his elite warriors, it is here that Cawl believes the lynchpin of his mysterious Great Work lies. But uncovering it is a near impossible task, one in which the Archmagos must overcome an ancient evil that threatens to extinguish the last hope of humanity.

Written by Guy Haley. Total running time 11 hours and 11 minutes. Performed by John Banks.

One of 40k's Best Books

An excellent and essential entry into the 40k universe, and actually advances the plot of the narrative as a whole. Well written characters, especially Cawl, with twists and bends that will fascinate any 40k fan. And of course performed brilliantly as always.

Belisarius Cawl!

What a great work to show more about the Arch Magos. It truly is needed to understand the circumstances and happenings of his history.

Bring on More Cawl....

If you like Warhammer 40k this book is a must read and even if your new to the Warhammer Universe, I think this is a great book that bridges the Past and Present in a way that makes me excited for future developments.

A tad confusing at times

would have been a five-star story all around but the confusing nature of the back and forth between the present and flashbacks took away from it somewhat, although I tribute that more to the narrator than the story itself and I couldn't stand the way he said bang LOL

satisfying to finish!

while it's not perfect, it was satisfying to finish. there were a few pacing problems in so parts of the story, but I loved the mystery and how it unraveled. Belisarius Cawl is such an interesting and fun character that he made the story for me.
