À propos de ce contenu audio

Book one in the Forges of Mars series.

An Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator fleet ventures beyond the borders of the Imperium in pursuit of arcane technology. Who knows what perils may lie outside the dominion of mankind?

Listen to it because: it's a novel like nothing else from Black Library. Graham McNeill crafts a tale that only he could tell, beginning a mind-bending saga of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Chaos and more besides.

The story: legend tells of a foolhardy expedition, led by the radical Magos Telok, that ventured out into the unknown space beyond the Halo Worlds in search of the 'Breath of the Gods' - an arcane device with the power to unmake and reshape the very stars themselves. Thousands of years later, the ambitious Lexell Kotov musters his Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator fleet and sets out to follow in mad old Telok's footsteps. With the might of the Imperial Guard and the Space Marines to augment his own forces, he searches for the hidden clues that will lead him to greatest power that the galaxy has ever known. But who knows what ancient perils may yet lie outside the Imperium and the dominion of mankind?

Written by Graham McNeill. Narrated by Joe Jameson.

the book starts slow, but takes time to explain a lot of things for anyone new to 40k, which is really good. it also have some of the "old lore" for space marines, where a fully armoured astartes is pretty much equal to a Secutor of the Mechanicus, but nothing too immersion breaking.

Also, this book is one of the rare occurrences where the stuff techpriests do is more akin to "technomancy", rather than dumbly burning incense before pressing the start button on a cogitator. Throughout the book, the experiences Techpriests have when approaching technology is depicted as a spiritual experience with a veneer of technological stuff around it, rather than technological stuff with a veneer of worship to tick the "token Mechanicus nonsense" box.
Frankly, I wish to see more of that, having the Mechanicus being treated like DnD clerics, but machine style, rather than mad scientists as they are so often portrayed.

Book's good, has some nice exposition for newcomers, the reader's performance is good (even if some failed lines have not been cut off from the end product) and it has a fresh take on techpriests. Give it a whirl

very nice read!

This story is soooo boring for the first 8h, but once this mark is passed, it becomes an incredibly cool AdMech story. I was genuinely hooked for the last 4h. However it's not acceptable to have 2/3rds of it be so bad and boring.
The narrator does an ok job, but the voices don't fit for the human crew, and the Reclusiarch is down right ridiculous, having the same voice as an ogryn.
There are several mistakes of looped audio that shouldn't even be allowed in a product paid full price.
The last third is genuinely a 90%, but the beginning of the story and the rookie mistakes made in editing and narrating force me to put a bad grade.
40/100
