Oaths of Damnation

Warhammer 40,000

An Exorcists Audiobook

The Exorcists are a Space Marine Chapter unlike any other. To combat the forces of Chaos, they willingly accept daemonic possession, knowing that once it is purged their shattered souls will no longer be susceptible to corruption. Those who fail the banishment trials become Broken Ones – living prisons for the terrors expelled from their brethren. Should such desperate measures become known to the wider Imperium, the Chapter would stand accused of the vilest of heresies.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Discover what happens when a Broken One is freed, and a daemonic conspiracy threatens to unveil the dark rituals of the Exorcists.

THE STORY

The Exorcists dispatch their Vanguard elite, the Hexbreakers, in a desperate quest to hunt down a Broken One, but the connection between their quarry and the strike force commander, Daggan Zaidu, is more than it first appears.

Depth of characters

Finally the Exorcists get a novel and in depth look. The exploration of what they give up and the lasting scars on them was great.

As a fan of theirs from the Dearhwatch novels featuring Watcher and his vigil over their team’s Librarian, it was great to see the chapter get some depth.

Highly recommend it

Finally an Exorcist Book! ruined by terrible narration

I have been an Exorcist fan for years having amassed a large Warhammer SM army based on them. I was so excited for them to get their own book. The narration is woeful. The narrator seems like he is reading furniture instructions and not an epic war novel. I have a huge warhammer library and this is the worst narration yet. monotone and dull.

do you like heresy? because it runs rampant in this novel.

Loyalist space Marines racing heretic space Marines to get their hands on a whole bunch of heresy... what's not to love ? think of Indiana Jones The last crusade but in the Warhammer universe.

chapter 4

haven't finished interesting so far but I just got too say please clear your nose before doing a audio I can hear you sniffle breathing and hearing you gasping for air making me think the marine is running out of air just please 🙏 fix that everything else amazing as always

Good example of an obscure chapter

I enjoyed the novel. While not the best one I’ve ever read, I’m very happy with it. It deserves 5 stars and I’d like to see MacNiven do some more. Also the narrator was good and provided good examples and didn’t do any weird stuff.

One Hell of a Ride

This was my first time learning about the Exorcists in Warhammer 40k. I knew nothing about them and wow are they a great read. You get to follow a little known loyalist chapter that also dabbles in the occult in order to fight the occult.

The big draw of this book is the Exorcists and learning more about what is probably one of the most interesting chapters in Warhammer 40k. You get to see everything from their initiation, their views on life and brotherhood, and their own unique rituals. All of this while on an exciting hunt for a broken one (a brother being used as a prison for demons) that includes demon plots and a whole lot of chaos.

The only thing that detracted for me was the narrator. He is fine, but sometimes I found his voice to be too monotone. The story was great and the narrator was decent, but he was just hard for me to listen to straight through.

Full Metal Grim Dark!

Wow! Excellent story concerning the controversial (heretical by some) Exorcists. Fast, engaging, and a great insight into the daemonic side of Warhammer 40K. Voice acting was perfect for this story, very captivating. I look forward to a sequel, hopefully!

Exorcists

Even in the galaxy of grim darkness, some stations of service are far more desperate than others and yet necessary. It's a good venture into what cost some must pay, for humanity to continue existing

Decent overall

A very nice novel, The depth of the characters is fantastic for nearly emotional husks. The voice actor is good and his voice is pleasant to listen to, but his range is a bit narrow. With some of the characters sounding the same, it doesn't help either with their very strange names. But overall I would recommend if you want a good story with a little known chapter.

The characters

I loved how this book delved into the characters and detailed the small things about each space marine in the squads. The beginning of the end tended to drag on and could be skipped but other than that it was a great book.
