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.

i gave a 5 but i do feel almost any other of the known warhammer narrators would have been far better for this series of books

a good story spoiled but the wrong narrator

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Narration seems to jump from clear and close to further away, a bit strange sadly

Odd audio to a great second installment

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The narration kept changing and was a little distracting and took you out of the story.

Good but.

A thoroughly enjoyable listen and embodies the iconic large scale fight-to-the-last that you expect from 40k. Though I felt this could have spent more time in development. Throughout the mission to fire the orbital defense laser I was wondering "why are we doing this?". Felt like we were padding out the novel before the endgame. I think it should have just been presented differently, as one of many strikes against the Tyranids.

The vocal performance also seemed rushed. there were many places especially towards the end, where you could hear that a single sentence or phrase was recorded in a different studio and editted in. As always though, Bruce nailed the male characters voices.

Would definitely listen to it again.

Great "Space Marine" story through and through

Great story but terrible editing, sound drops off every so often with very poorly edited parts

poor editing
