About this listen

A Warhammer 40,000 novel

Saint Celestine is one of the greatest heroes of the Dark Imperium, an immortal warrior who returns time and again, even when struck down by a foe, like the Emperor's avenging angel. But what happens when she dies and comes back? Prepare to find out.

Listen to it because
Andy Clark lays bare one of the greatest mysteries of Warhammer 40,000: the trials Saint Celestine must undergo in order to return from death....

The story
With her mighty wings spread wide and Ardent Blade aflame, Saint Celestine is the living embodiment of the God-Emperor’s wrath. Her halo blazes like a star upon the smog-wreathed, blood-soaked battlefields of the 41st Millennium; its holy light leading the faithful to victory time and time again. As heretics and daemons tear at her flesh, she calls down fires of retribution from on high to smite the wicked and unrighteous.

If she is to fall in battle, none should mourn as she is Celestine, the Living Saint, and death is her duty. Though it comes at a great cost. For each time she is slain, Saint Celestine finds herself trapped in a terrible realm of suffering and torment. There her faith in the God-Emperor will be put to the test so she may prove herself worthy of life once more.

I was absolutely not expecting good Horus Heresy level stuff here, complete with the interesting and horrifying purgatory Celestine exists in between lives. It doesn’t hit the absolute heights of some of the character arcs in the better parts of the HH, but the writing is absolutely in the top tier of Warhammer 40K novels.

The different perspectives on the Imperial Creed, Celestine's relationship with her Saintly existences, the conflicts within the Imperial forces are handled well and show some really interesting dynamics.

Performance is spectacular and I hope to hear more from this narrator. I didn't know how much I needed a Welsh Sister of Battle as a background character.

well paced, and shows how Celestine is perceived by those that love her and those that hate her

Celestine's origin story ish

A decent enough story giving insight into the lives and deaths of Saint Celestine, the dogmatic fanaticism some imperial agents hold towards the Emperor and the dangers of rampant zealotry. Excellent narration... Although the accent mix for the characters was a little jarring at times.

A good insight into Saint Celestine
