About this listen

An Imperial Guard Audiobook

The Death Korps of Krieg arrive at a mining world overrun by necrons, determined to win this brutal war at any cost.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The Death Korps are unlike any other Astra Militarum unit – batch-bred, born to fight, and completely indoctrinated to their cause. See how effective that can be in this storming story.

THE STORY

When the necrons rise, a mining planet descends into a cauldron of war and the remorseless foes decimate the human defenders. Salvation comes in an unlikely form - the Death Korps of Krieg, a force as unfeeling as the necrons themselves. When the two powers go to war, casualties are high and the magnitude of the destruction is unimaginable.

Written by Steve Lyons. Read by Timothy Watson. Run time: 10hrs 43mins (approx).

What could they do to him?

Wow. What a read. I’ve read many black library books, but I don’t think any capture the grimdark and hopeless feel of the setting as well as this. Truly lightning in a bottle.

Higher-Grade 40k

Second review. 110-120th 40k audio novel. (Road-warrior occupation, eff off). Die-hard ADB and Chris W supporter. Won't distract from this to discuss others.

Got a flash of something quite good here, having bought this without really checking the author. Halfway through and looked him up as someone to queue up next in the playlist, turns out he did Krieg (which was fun) but otherwise just some short story stuff. Nobody tell GW, I think they might've hired another author.

The story and the characters

The story was good and very I guess the best word to say is sad. It main follows two lovers which was odd and something new in 40K. It good just took me by surprise.

Excellent representation of the Kreig

This book really nailed down the Kreig in a perfect manner while also going a little bit into the "why they are the way they are."

great book if you love imperial guard

the book was great a little to much focus on some side characters making the book drag for a couple chapters scattered throughout.

Aren’t we all just dead men walking?

This is a book about methodical, slow, immovable, cold-blooded, calculating force fighting versus necrons. The Death Korps are cold, nihilistic and utterly alien and this book ends up being insanely brutal when all is said and done. The story is almost entirely devoid of war glorification. This is akin to WWI in the depiction of thankless meat grinder campaigns. Again, another nod at the Death Korps troopers who are observed from many angles, but could never provide their own voice.

"Gunthar Soreson was dead. Along with everything he had valued in his meaningless life."
