About this listen
Book one in the Bequin series.
Listen to it because:
It's an intriguing and evocative story that shows characters you know and love through new (yet strangely familiar) eyes, forging a stunning mystery that will leave you astonished.
The story:
In the city of Queen Mab, nothing is quite as it seems. Pariah, spy and Inquisitorial agent Alizebeth Bequin is all of these things and yet none of them. An enigma, even to herself, she is caught between Inquisitors Gregor Eisenhorn and Gideon Ravenor, former allies now enemies who are playing a shadow game against a mysterious and deadly foe. Coveted by the archenemy, pursued by the Inquisition, Bequin becomes embroiled in a dark plot of which she knows not her role or purpose. Helped by a disparate group of allies, she must unravel the secrets of her life and past if she is to survive a coming battle in which the line between friends and foes is fatally blurred.

Exile to the miserable world of Sedh, the disgraced Necron Lord Oltyx is consumed with bitterness. Once heir to the throne of a dynasty, he now commands nothing but a dwindling garrison of warriors, in a never-ending struggle against Ork invaders.

Unless Oltyx acts to save his dynasty, revenge will win him only ashes.

After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Abnett at his best
Has you hooked from the start. Dan Abnett returns to some of his best characters in Eisenhorn and Ravanor. Great plot and beautifully narrated. If you are a 40k fan this is a must.

Solid, fun, interesting, ready for more.
It's a bit slow at first, at least relative to other Warhammer 40K books Dan Abnett has written, but it picks up and becomes pretty intriguing. Seeing Eisenhorn and Ravenor as side characters was an interesting dynamic to witness. Seeing the continuation of their stories is worth it alone, even if they're just side characters here. The mystery of the main characters identity was compelling.
Can't say much without spoiling a lot but there is some great 40K action and intrigue to be had. The narrator is fantastic, I hope she reads more Black Library books.
You would probably get the most out of this by having checked out the previous Eisenhorn and Ravenor books first. You maybe don't totally have to, this could conceivably stand on it's own, but it would add to the experience I think.
I would not start your Warhammer 40K journey here. If you've never read anything in this universe before I think you'd be quite lost starting here. It's not a good intro, but if you know what's going on it's a good one to check out.

It kept well engaged throughout the entirety. Most likely, in equal part, to both the story and the narrator. Superb work. I definitely want more

Awesome book.
Dan Abnett writes the grim dark future of warhammer 40k in way manner that makes me put everything away and just sit and listen to the audiobook. This was great from
Start to finish. I love all of his inquisitor books. Pariah was refreshing after a few other more stale newer 40K novels I’ve suffered through lately. I can’t say enough good things. If Dan wrote it, buy it.

Started out slow and seemed random. However, Dan Abnett started to show his writing finesse by weaving an intricate story as time went on. Definitely worth the money. Lots of nice surprises.

Abnett's catalogue of warhammer is vast and highly praised, so I do not say it lightly that this is his best book thus far. An absolute must (after listening to Eisenhorn and Ravenor)

Helen Keely is amazing as the narrator. This book was super enjoyable and the time just flew buy. Knock it down a star as it felt very narrow in scope but lots of build up and suspense.

Amazing book
it's a bit jarring coming from the full eisenhorn/ravenor books with Toby narrating to this...over 70 hours of Toby narrating each character to have them suddenly change really throws you off. But she still does a good job and obviously it's told from bequin perspective so it make sense.
