Inquisitor Eisenhorn faces a vast interstellar cabal and the dark power of daemons, all racing to recover an arcane text of abominable power - an ancient tome known as the Necroteuch.

Listen to It Because:

The classic novel returns in a brand new edition. Inquisitor Eisenhorn gathers allies to unravel a conspiracy and hunt an alien threat. Relive the adventures of some of Warhammer 40,000's most beloved characters, or experience the beginning of Eisenhorn's remarkable adventures for the first time.

The Story:

The Inquisition moves amongst mankind like an avenging shadow, striking down the enemies of humanity with uncompromising ruthlessness. When he finally corners an old foe, Inquisitor Gregor Eisenhorn is drawn into a sinister conspiracy. As events unfold and he gathers allies - and enemies - Eisenhorn faces a vast interstellar cabal and the dark power of daemons, all racing to recover an arcane text of abominable power: an ancient tome known as the Necroteuch.

I've never read any Warhammer 40K books and have little knowledge of the universe but I ended up loving this book.

I was hesitant at the beginning thinking I wouldn't understand what was going on but the book delivers the listener just enough information to understand the universe without it being overwhelming, the story itself was far more interesting and rich than I initially thought and I got really involved with it by the end.

Great voice acting from the cast.

I would recommend this book to any who likes scf-fi.

A great listen even for a warhammer 40K novice.

I've long been a fan of the Warhammer 40K universe for its bleak view of a future humanity forced to embrace the worst aspects of its own nature just to survive in an actively hostile universe. However I've always been very wary of the quality of any tie in fiction (in general, not just in this setting).

I had heard that this trilogy was different and am pleased to say this is an excellent work of military science fiction outright. The protagonist is well realized and managed to avoid being a caricature of themselves. The settings are varied, the original alien race satisfyingly non humanoid and the all important pacing keeps everything moving along nicely.

An excellent military science fiction novel
