Publisher's Summary:
After the success of their desperate mission to Salvation's Reach, Colonel Commissar Gaunt and the Tanith First race to the strategically vital forge world of Urdesh, besieged by the brutal armies of Anarch Sek. However, there may be more at stake than just a planet. The Imperial forces have made an attempt to divide and conquer their enemy, but with Warmaster Macaroth himself commanding the Urdesh campaign, it is possible that the Archenemy assault has a different purpose to decapitate the Imperial command structure with a single blow. Has the Warmaster allowed himself to become an unwitting target? And can Gaunt's Ghosts possibly defend him against the assembled killers and war machines of Chaos?
Members Reviews:
Some character voices are unbearable, good overall
Some characters voiced by the narrator are absolutely unbearable. Specifically the child Yoncy Criid when she is crying or whining the narrators voice gets so high pitched and shrill I cannot stand it. I still to this day do not know what happened during any scene where he uses this voice as I had to skip through them.
Outside of that the performance is well done. The voice acting is emotional and there is a vast variety of voices and the inflection and tone changes based on content which is very nice.
I had to deduct some points for the story as it feels incomplete. I cant go as far as to say its a short story as it is plenty long enough but it feels like there was a lot of padding added in some places to make it long enough and this book is just being used to set up the coming ones.
Worth the time and credit for sure, but beware the shrilling voice of the crying little girl.
what the feth!
I have read all of the ghosts books. Multiple times. I love the story and the characters. This is my first audio book of the series and it was excellently performed. I have waited 2 years for this...I am thoroughly disappointed. I will read it when my paper copy comes in, however, it feels like half a book.
I waited 6+ years for a HALF NOVEL
What would have made The Warmaster better?
Giving us the whole story at one time. We have waited 6 years for a novel that is just half of a story. Also it does not seem to be edited well. He would use terms from the old Imperial Guard and the new Astra Militarum randomly through out the book.
Has The Warmaster turned you off from other books in this genre?
No just sad that all the other books in the series are amazing and this one just made me feel frustrated after so many years.
Would you be willing to try another one of James Cameron Stewarts performances?
Yes.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Warmaster?
None I would have added the 2nd half of the book. Now GW just gets more money so that we can learn the ending.
Any additional comments?
I'm glad I used a credit to get this book. If I were to spend the $31.95 Audible is asking for I would have been extremely upset.
great book
it wss ver6 big battle oriented And had lots of battle scenes. w i th a n8ce little task of chais sneaky.
Once again Dan Abnett let's us join the Ghost!
Damn good and fast paced. Loved it. Lots of surprises and shocking moments. Felt like I was watching the Walking Dead.
