Great story poor audio

a great story written in English and then butchered in American voice.
the editing was poor and harsh in areas.

Excellent drama in a futuristic military-scifi setting

Dan Abnett does an amazing job world-building while simultaneously writing a scifi drama set for n a future war zone. The story keeps you hooked from start to finish, with a payoff you won't expect. A real masterpiece that deserves a followup.

WoW another great war story from Dan

Brillant plot and masterful battle scene discriptions. Written like it is, all a matter of skill and luck to survive combat. Then just when you have given up on your quest you stumble upon it. But what is it ? I couldn't stop listerning to this story had to do it in two sessions. well done Dan Abnett ..... any chance we could get his Warcraft novels on Audible please

Wow

Very different from my usual book. It was slow to start but then it really turned around. We’ll read and performed.

A solid sci-fi book

Dan Abnett has delivered a great story, which once the rounds start flying, bares more similarity to the Gaunt's Ghosts series than Eisenhorn or Ravenor. He has provided a convincing setting for the story, fleshed out with realistic locations and characters. It is great to see Dan writing outside the 40K universe, even though he performs so well within it.



My only complaint would be more to do with the narration then the book itself - the narrator sometimes struggles with pronounciation (insecticide for one), and sometimes uses the wrong 'voice' for a certain character, which can lead to confusion. And while the idea of chipping someone so they can't swear is certainly entertaining, the 'freak-R' sound on the recording does start to grate after a while.



I would love to see this universe expanded; warring corporations on far flung frontier worlds is a great setting. Bring on the sequel!

One of Abnett's best

So I'm a bit off a Sic-Fi fan, and love Dan Abnett work so I was never not going to like this. However I was just blown out of the water by this. It's at it's hart a story about gun toting jarheads on a colony planet, not then a new story, but Abnett weaves a clear plot to take the story into new territory, Big business, the press and the government or at lest how they interacted. My only slight grip, the narrator gets Abnetts name wrong.
