Deathworlder

Astra Militarum: Warhammer 40,000

By: Victoria Hayward

Narrated by: Gabrielle Nellis-Pain

An Astra Militarum Audiobook

On a planet trapped in the closing jaws of the Great Devourer, Major Wulf Khan of the Catachan 903rd receives a final, desperate mission – one which will take her soldiers into the maw of the tyranid threat.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It’s a chance to see the Catachan Jungle Fighters in action on a planet almost as deadly as their homeworld. Dive into their gripping battle for survival as they face a voracious force of invading tyranids.

THE STORY

Lazulai is a world beyond the brink, its battle against the tyranids all but lost. Once-magnificent cities lie in ruin. The seas boil. The skies crack. Horrific alien bioforms devour. In mere days the planet will be consumed.

The 903rd Catachan ‘Night Shrikes’ defend one of the last fortresses still standing. Led by Major Wulf Khan, to die fighting is all that is expected of them… until she is given one last mission: to lead a squad through the apocalypse and recover a piece of archeotech that may doom or deliver the entire Lazulai System.

Facing impossible odds and zero hope for aid, the major must hold her squad together as they pick their way through an endless xenos jungle. The enemy is merciless, relentless, endlessly adaptable and formidably resourceful... but so too is Khan.

Loved it!

very easy for immerse yourself into this book. I tend to lean towards Astartes novels, this being my first novel about normal soldiers. I define recommend this audio book.

Good Guard Book

Very good book detailing the Catachans. Excellent storytelling, characters were memorable and well fleshed out

On the edge of my seat

What a fantastic classic action style book in the 40 K universe. Every moment of the book has me guessing on what’s gonna happen next in this action-packed story with the Catachans and other imperial forces. The perfect grimdark look on humanity’s view and a better understanding of the Catachans. An absolute 12/10 and I would highly recommend for anyone wanting a highly emotional and gripping adventure.

Fun times on the death world.

Good voice acting, solid story, favorite part was when the big beefy lady ripped a 'nid in half.

Victory Against Tyranids?

A story where a team of Catachans must work with a Cadian, a Martian Magos and a Genestealer Cult Member in order to save (?) the dying world they are on. They must March for days to reach their goal, through a world in the final stages of a Tyranid Invasion. Can they do it? Will they save the world? Will we hear Catachan Poetry?

I had a great time.

it was just an honest to emperor story about the guard. very enjoyable and looking forward to more.

Brutal and Terrifying

Victoria Hayward really nails the horror of the Tyranids. Great cast of characters with a lot of unique visuals.

Well written and respectful to lore.

tryanid bio mass collection displayed very well. I personally enjoyed the story and would love to add these models to my army.

great tyranis story

the cast were memorable varied lot, there was a lot of creative world building or maybe better put world breaking as the tyranid invasion cycle does it's thing. surprisingly touching character interactions that didn't feel off brand and the narration was also excellent

The attention to all the pieces of lore that was used in making this story.

This was a very fun listen. I think the author captures the Catachans so well in the telling of this story. Astra Militarum novels can be very hit or miss, but this one I would highly recommend. It’s also fun to learn more about what is happening on a planet when it is being consumed by the Tyranids.
