Publisher's Summary

A Space Marine Battles novel

Chaos is unleashed, and things look bleak for Pandorax - until salvation arrives in the form of the entire Dark Angels Chapter, led by Master Azrael and a host of heroes.

Listen to it because: as well as being one of the most brutal conflicts of the Warhammer 40,000 settings, Pandorax also features some of the 41st Millennium's most recognisable heroes and villains, such as Azrael of the Dark Angels, Grand Master Draigo of the Grey Knights, Colonel Iron Hand Straken of Catachans and even Warmaster Abaddon of the Black Legion. Horus Heresy fans will also find links to the novel The Damnation of Pythos set a full 10,000 years earlier. Finally, there's a loveable Jokaero space-ape that drives a tank. That's got to be worth a listen?

The story: in the Pandorax System, on the death world of Pythos, an ancient secret that has laid buried for millennia. Ignorant of this terror, troopers of the Catachan 183rd, stranded on Pythos, find themselves under attack by the forces of Chaos. Daemons in their thousands flock the sky, and none other than Warmaster Abaddon leads the attack. With the Death Guard and Black Legion arrayed against them, the Catachans appear to be doomed, until salvation arrives in the form of the entire Dark Angels Chapter. But what is the so-called 'Damnation Cache'? What secrets does it harbour, and why has it also attracted the attention of the daemon-hunting Grey Knights?

Written by C Z Dunn. Narrated by Gareth Armstrong.

Poorly contrived plot

There are too many plot holes as well as contrived moments, the Catachans repeadly kill Plague Marines in melee and by sneaking up on them. The Mcguffin of the plot isn't particularly threatening and the greater demons feel too easily bested. The writer doesnt do justice to the capabilities of the space marines. I mean having them killed in narrow passages by almost unarmed humans or killed so easily by las fire. abbadon is just sort of a guy who exists to give more drama to the plot and the same goes with Huron Blackheart. Honestly the tension between the various factions is the best part, with the rivalry between Abbadon and Huron as well as between Azreal and Draigo being good. However much of what happens feels contrived to further a plot which is ultimately bolter porn. Events don't happen because they make sense or follow the story but rather so that the author can write combat scenes.
