About this listen
Book 3 in the Gaunt's Ghosts series.
On the shattered world of Verghast, Gaunt and his Ghosts find themselves embroiled within an ancient and deadly civil war as a mighty hive-city is besieged by an unrelenting foe.
Listen to it because: The return of a classic Gaunt's Ghosts novel! The Tanith First deploy to Verghast to help break the Chaos siege of Vervunhive. Tanks clash with daemon engines, Imperial Guardsmen make brave last stands and Colonel-Commissar Gaunt steps up and takes control of the war effort, showing for the first time the command abilities that will go on to make him a legend.
The story: On the world of Verghast, a grinding war between two hive cities - one loyal to the Imperium, the other fallen to the worship of the Dark Gods - is bolstered by the forces of the Astra Militarum, spearheaded by the Colonel-Commissar Gaunt and the Tanith First and Only. But bitter rivalries and treachery threaten to derail the defence of Vervunhive, and it falls to Gaunt to take command of the Imperial forces and forge victory from an almost certain defeat.

The feral warrior-kings of Fenris, the Space Wolves are the sons of Leman Russ. Savage heroes, few can match their ferocity in battle. After half a century apart, Space Wolves Ingvar and Gunnlaugr are reunited. Sent to defend an important shrine world from the plague-ridden Death Guard, the Grey Hunters clash with the pious Sisters of Battle—who see the Space Wolves as little better than the enemy they fight. As enemies close in around them and treachery is revealed, Gunnlaugr and his warriors must hold the defenders together.

Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

One of my favourites brought to life!
Necropolis is one of my favourite Dan Abnett novels, and he's one of my favourite sci-fi authors. I was super excited to see it made into an audiobook, and Toby Longworth's presentation is top notch! I will definitely listen to this many more times, and heartily recommend it for anyone who is a fan of 40K, the Imperial Guard, or even if you're new to the Warhammer universe as a great sci-fi war novel with characters you will fall in love with! Can't say enough good things about this audiobook! Five stars is not enough!

Gaunt gets to Fight Back - Finally!
Excellent sense of tension and release throughout the first and second acts. So good in fact that you feel like you need a cigarette when an antagonist finally receives their comeuppance. Third act leaned on cinematic bombast, but lacked tension because the final obstacle appeared so late into the story that it didn't get the attention it deserved, devolving into a 'big bad guy' appearing from out of nowhere. The author does a good job of introducing many characters and is fully prepared to kill any and all of them in brutally quick, or miserably slow ways. It's never 100% assured that your favorites will make it out alive. Alas, with the audio format, some character names can sound very similar and it makes it difficult to determine who has survived and who hasn't. The narrator does a good job of making character's distinct by implementing different accents and tonal changes to define who is speaking. Every so often there is a stumble and an affect is lost or they respond as the wrong character. Given the mass of characters, this can make some scenes confusing.

Perfect entry to the series
Beautifully written and equally masterfully voiced. Dan's craft in this one is evident, many layers of story telling, but without losing focus and Toby's vocals are perfect in tone and variance.
