About this listen

A Warhammer Horror audio

In the harshest of times, even the most faithful can walk in dark places - as Arch-Deacon Ambrose discovers when drought and plague sweep through his city.

Listen to it because: in the grim darkness of the far future, gods are real and faith is rewarded. Discover what happens when that faith is misplaced and light becomes darkness.

The story: the planet of Theotokos is dying. Drought has wiped out all but the capital city of Magerit. Worse, an outbreak of a terrible plague, known as the Grey Tears, ravages its populace. Only the charismatic Arch-Deacon Ambrose stands in the way of desperation and anarchy. But as the plague rampages through the streets, murdering its victims with unnatural symptoms, Ambrose struggles to confront the appalling measures he must take to save his people.

Written by David Annandale. Narrated by Christopher Kent.

Archdeacon Ambrose is the hero the Imperium of Mankind deserve, though definitely not the one they need.

This book's a beautiful and tragic look into the humanity behind the Ecclesiarchy, and it shows exactly why it's so difficult for a genuinely good person to make a difference against the dark powers in the Immatereum - they'll turn your compassion into a weapon against you.

The narration was absolutely perfect! Christopher Kent has a very "priestly" voice and he really brought every single character in the story to life; the man's a treasure!

A wonderfully narrated masterpiece!

this book was one of the creepiest ones I've ever listened to, the story is some what predictedable, but that in no way detects from its impact. also shout out to the narrator he brought so much to the book.

over all a very good read and one of my horror favourites. 9/10 would recommend

the road to hell is paved with good intentions

The story overall was very enjoyable and not too long.

Christopher Kents delivery was absolutely phenomenal, his voice has such gravitas and he should do more 40k stories it would be a travesty for him not to!

story 7/10. performance 11/10

Based in the 40k universe this background story is away from the battle zones. This novel could also be a standalone novel! if you had no idea about the 40k universe, you can pick this up! Sit back relax, close your eyes and be prepared to be shot into a grimy hellhole of a situation which is wonderfully discribed by Christopher Kent, I hope to here him being used more in the 40k universe. This novel makes you understand that the "imperium of man" is not a great place at all. However good guys do the right things, for the wrong reason. Great story, great plotline, and an utterly brilliant narrator!

Gritty, uncomfortable dystopian story.
