À propos de cet audio

After the success of their desperate mission to Salvation's Reach, Colonel Commissar Gaunt and the Tanith First race to the strategically vital forge world of Urdesh, besieged by the brutal armies of Anarch Sek. However, there may be more at stake than just a planet. The Imperial forces have made an attempt to divide and conquer their enemy, but with Warmaster Macaroth himself commanding the Urdesh campaign, it is possible that the Archenemy assault has a different purpose to decapitate the Imperial command structure with a single blow. Has the Warmaster allowed himself to become an unwitting target? And can Gaunt's Ghosts possibly defend him against the assembled killers and war machines of Chaos?

more voice actors

should have hired more voice actors, or at least altered it in post processing. the accents, character voices etc were pretty bad, and jarring on the ears at times, to the point of breaking immersion.

You can skip this one

I like the books by Dan Abnett, but this one...

- The Performance for Gaunt & his Ghosts was fine, but oh God the Children voices drove me up the wall.
- The Story... Nothing happens!,
the beginning was fun and the plot was moving, the next two thirds of the book nothing happens until the last 30min

Worst Dan Abnett novel? Probably. Is it bad? No.

Is this the worst Abnett fiction I've listed/read to date?
Yes. Does it still make it one of the better ones of its kind? Absolutely.
There is a fair bit of experimentation on writer's side; with a huge character count, multiple story lines that sometimes lead nowhere and combined with cut short anti climatic to be continued finish(despite the sheer length of this novel) it is simply unsatisfying experience compared to his other works. Yet, I still recommend it, just know what to expect.
What about the Performance?
Narration is at first a little hard to bear, with number of accents on display and all the "Fethin", but narrator's very wide and impressive vocal range is something I grew to appreciate and started to enjoy, it felt like acting and got me to forget this was a single person's performance!

not a terrible narration but not great

this is narrated by a third person and the pronunciation suffers.
Toby Longworth started the series but book 13 was narrated by James McPherson and this by James Cameron Stewart and unfortunately all 3 narrators have different opinions on how the characters sound.
That also goes for a few established key words and phrases, it's like listening to someone pronounce words badly.

Overall. it's a placeholder story.

The narrator was better then the previous, but no Toby. If he'd bothered his fethin arse to listen to some of the older stories I think he could have pulled it off. looking forward to the next one with Toby at the helm.

Story wise, some of it didn't make sense. A lot didn't, maybe with more context that wasn't given.

The weakest ghosts book with narration to match

This is easily the weakest book in the series. It feels more like a bad drama than a war story, the twists are predictable, the reveals are boring and you will be "fethin" way more than fethin necessary. There are also some very dramatic character shifts in some established characters that are very abrupt and seem only to have occurred to fit the uninteresting story.

It may simply be that most of the series has been performed by the excellent Toby Longworth but this performance is particularly hard to listen to. The characters get their own voices that range in quality from "so bad they would be better off without one" to "can barely tell that this voice is meant to be different". The narrator also changes some pronunciations that have been used consistently throughout the series which takes you out of the story.
