Listen to it because

The Lord of Death returns in a novel that shows him pushed to his very limits and facing the doom that has chased him for centuries.

The story

As the Great Rift tears the galaxy apart, portents and darkness beset Mephiston. At the time when he needs his psychic sight the most, the chief librarian's powers are rendered blind by some inexplicable force. Haunted by the ghosts of the damned, their purpose unclear, Mephiston takes his ship the Blood Oath and the Blood Angels in his charge to the world of Morsus, where he believes the source of his psychic blindness is to be found. But Morsus is embroiled in conflict too, a longstanding struggle between the Imperium and some of its most ancient foes called the Revenant Crusade.

Written by Darius Hinks. Read by Richard Reed.

Not bad, a bit frustrating

I really enjoyed the story, but found myself a bit annoyed when characters acted in a highly predictable manner. A lot of the internal conflict seemed two-dimensional. That said, I enjoyed the action and the book over all.

Another great Warhammer 40k book

Great book with a great narrator, but the only accent he does besides is own is Russian. So its a tad funny how several characters from different places all sound Russian, but other than that its a great listen.

ALOT BETTER

I gave it a chance after the other Mephiston book was out right booring and a power fantasy that was not fun to listen to at all. Now this is the black libary author quality. I am looking forward to reading his book in the future.

I like the story it is alot more believable, the proformance is great the voice actor really give his best. The relationship between Mephiston and Rayzulus is also something like that they explore and could do more!

It’s a great continuation.

Fun story, but really takes off after the 1/2 way mark. It’s a great middle book for a trilogy.

Absolutely great!

Great book. Narrator is amazing and drives home key aspects of the story. Must read if your a blood Angel's fan.

slow but steady

The book took a little bit longer to get going but eventually it picked up.

Interesting story of Mephiston and his quest for regaining his Warp sight whilst battling Necrons.

The story is well written and the Necrons are an intriguing enemy. The finale is maybe a bit rushed, but leaves a very interesting cliffhanger.

needed better editing

This is the second Maphiston novel by Darius Hinks. I enjoyed the first and the second, but there were issues.

This book needs better editing. Some parts drag on and on, painfully. The narrator generally does a good job, but there are occasions of wrong voice being attached to a character and the wrong term being employed in the story.

Because I don't have the print copy, I don't know if this is the fault of the editor or suthor.

The conclusion is fulfilling and worthwhile, big plus.

It was ok

the story was kinda rushed especially for the soldiers part in the story but overall it was ok

Fairly decent

The first 1/3rd of the book is a bit slow but the overall story is sound. The voice acting is very good as most 40K audio books are.
I recommend you read it. Especially if you read the first book and plan on reading book 3.
