About this listen

Audiobook two of the Chronicles of Uriel Ventris

The Great Devourer is descending on the world of Tarsis Ultra, but to defeat the xenos horrors, Captain Uriel Ventris may have to embark upon a dangerous and unorthodox mission.

Listen to it because: it's a classic tale of the Space Marines against tyranids...with a twist. Conventional tactics fail, the Ultramarines way of war is insufficient...but if he uses other means to win the war, Uriel Ventris may lose far more.

The story: the Ultramarines are the epitome of a Space Marine Chapter. Warriors without peer, their name is a byword for discipline and honour, and their heroic deeds are legendary. The Great Devourer is descending on the world of Tarsis Ultra, a world under the protection of the Ultramarines. Captain Uriel Ventris and his warriors - allied with their barbaric cousins from the Mortifactors Chapter - rally the forces of the planet to defend against the tyranids. But to defeat the xenos horrors, Uriel may have to turn his back on the Ultramarines' teachings and embark upon a dangerous and unorthodox mission.

This edition also includes the prequel short story 'Leviathan', which sees Ventris and his Ultramarines board a space hulk an encounter the vanguard of the hive fleets: the feared genestealers.

Written by Graham McNeill. Running time 10 hours six minutes. Narrated by Bruce Mackinnon.

Fantastic Tyranid story!

This book is incredibly good at storytelling, recounting events from multiple points of view, be it from a guardsman, a nurse, a ship admiral or a space marine. The conflict takes place in multiple environments. It doesn't lack in variety at all. One thing to note is the audio quality, which often changes.
It sounds like a lot of takes were done on a lower quality microphone, which makes the listening experience a bit jarring.
Uriel's growth and development from the first book is written very well and makes you care for him.
Overall, a good book!

technical trouble?

The story was great and the narrator was excellent but every so often there was a jarring change in the acoustics. it was like the majority of the recording was done in a studio but some parts were done in a basement with a different mic or something. I'm not super picky about stuff like that, it only lasted a few second each time it happened, and it wasn't painfully bad or anything. Just something I noticed.
