Audio Review // Lost Sons by James Swallow
Lost Sons takes us to Baal, where just thirty Blood Angels are left behind while the rest of the Legion heads for Signus Prime. Then communication is lost, loyalties are tested, Malcador’s Knight Errants turn up, and suddenly the Blood Angels are painting their armour black and crossing out their Legion symbols.
What is happening? Let’s find out.
Audio Review // Ghosts Speak Not & Patience by James Swallow
This week, I'm back in the Horus Heresy with James Swallow's Ghosts Speak Not and Patience. Two connected short stories bringing us back to the Knights Errant, the surviving loyal Death Guard, and the fascinating Amendera Kendel.
It's great to catch up with these forgotten threads of the Heresy, but there's something darker going on here too. The Imperium is changing, the old ways are disappearing, and even those fighting for the Emperor can't go back to what they were.
Audio Review // Distant Echoes of Old Night by Rob Sanders
In Distant Echoes of Old Night, Rob Sanders unleashes Chaplain Murnau and a terrifying force of Destroyers on the surviving Imperial Fists. We're talking claustrophobic corridors, brutal close-quarters combat, and enough biological nastiness to make you think twice about breathing.
Audio Review // Army of One by Rob Sanders
Ever bought a Warhammer audiobook that was over before you'd even got comfortable?
My latest Horus Heresy listen is Army of One by Rob Sanders, tucked away in the Silent War anthology. An Eversor Assassin unleashed by Malcador? Now THAT sounds like a cracking story!
Shame it barely has time to get started before it's over.
Audio Review // The Purge by Anthony Reynolds
I've been dipping into the Horus Heresy audiobook collection Silent War, and this time it's the turn of the Word Bearers!
In The Purge, Anthony Reynolds gives us Sor Talgron — a warrior who's beginning to question Lorgar's grand scheme. And bloody hell, it's refreshing to see the Word Bearers treated as more than just moustache-twirling fanatics!
Audio Drama // Templar by John French
A tale of Sigismund, Imperial Fists, brutal duels, treacherous Word Bearers and Daemons. Templar has plenty going for it, but does it stick the landing? Let’s get into this Horus Heresy audio drama and find out!
Audio Review // Wolf Hunt by Graham McNeill
I wasn't expecting Wolf Hunt to be a sequel to The Outcast Dead, but bloody hell, I'm glad it is. Severian, an ex-Luna Wolf, is being hunted across Terra by the mysterious Yasu Nagasena, giving us a Horus Heresy story with a little more stealth and a lot less punching.
I absolutely loved this one. If you enjoyed The Outcast Dead, this is one you don't want to miss. My latest Horus Heresy audiobook review is up on Adventures with Pep
Audio Review // The Gates of Terra by Nick Kyme.
Another super-quick Horus Heresy listen!
The Gates of Terra by Nick Kyme gives us Ultramarines, the defence of Terra and a very suspicious Malcador. I enjoyed it, but bloody hell… this one is short!
Audio Review // Horus Heresy Grey Angel by John French
I bloody loved the Night Lords story, so I had to jump back in, but this time we're heading into the early days of the Grey Knights.
Grey Angel is short, packed with Horus Heresy lore, Dark Angels, divided loyalties and enough Loken goodness to keep me happy.
My latest audiobook review is now ready for your review.
Audio Review // Child of Night by John French
Eeek. I love a Night Lords story.
I've been wanting to get back into this Legion for a while, so when I spotted Child of Night by John French, I was hoping for something that would give me a little more of the Night Lords beyond being the scary villains lurking in the background.
Audio Review // Judge Dredd – Crime Chronicles: Double Zero
What happens when Judge Anderson loses the one thing that makes her unique?
In my latest audio review, I’m diving into Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicles – Double Zero from Big Finish.
Spies, rival Judge Cities, a mysterious child and one very serious problem for Anderson…
Her psychic powers are gone.
Another cracking little Dredd audio — and I'm rapidly becoming addicted to these Crime Chronicles!

Audio Review // Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicle – Blood Will Tell
What happens when a Judge is sent to the Cursed Earth… and comes back looking for revenge?
In my latest audio review, I’m diving into Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicle – Blood Will Tell — a story packed with ex-Judges, mutants, Justice Department secrets and a mystery that slowly starts to unravel.
And, naturally, I’ve already started stealing ideas for Sector 102…
Is Garris Hale a villain, a victim, or something in between? Let’s find out.
Audio Review // Crime Chronicles: Stranger Than Truth by David Bishop
What happens when a fictional serial killer steps out of the pages of a book and starts murdering people in Mega-City One? Crime Chronicles: Stranger Than Truth brings back one of my favourite oddities, Slick Dickens, in a wonderfully twisted Judge Dredd mystery. I've also been thinking about how this whole idea could sneak its way into Sector 102... because apparently I can't read a Judge Dredd story anymore without stealing ideas for my own world!
Audio Review // Eye of Terra: The Final Compliance of Sixty-Three Fourteen by Guy Haley
The Final Compliance of Sixty-Three Fourteen surprised me. Rather than focusing on Horus himself, Guy Haley gives us a planetary governor facing an impossible choice: betray the Emperor or watch his world be crushed by the Warmaster. A short, character-driven story that shows the very human cost of the Horus Heresy. A fitting end to my journey through Eye of Terra.
Audio Review // Horus Heresy: Chirurgeon by Nick Kyme
Excited to dive into another Fabius Bile story. As one of my favourite villains of 40k, it is always enjoyable to experience the 30k "Loyal" version. I'm keen on Reynold's version of him, so I genuinely hope Kyme does him Justice.
Book Review // Horus Heresy: A Safe and Shadowed Place by Guy Haley
The last time we heard from the Night Lords fleet, they were scattered and leaderless in the wake of the disastrous Thramas Crusade. Now, a sizeable portion of the Legion find themselves drawn to a mysterious beacon on the far side of the galaxy.
Audio Review // The Rage War Finale – Alien vs. Predator: Armageddon by Tim Lebbon
The Rage War trilogy reaches its explosive finale as humanity faces extinction, Xenomorphs march in organized armies, and the Predators step in as unlikely allies. Tim Lebbon’s Alien vs. Predator: Armageddon delivers brutal space battles, big sci-fi energy, and a surprising amount of heart. But does it stick the landing? Find out in my full review of this action-packed conclusion to the Alien–Predator crossover saga.
