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.
Audiobook Review // The Haar by David Sodergren
Ancient sea creature. Elderly woman. Bloody horrible body horror. And somehow… a love story.
I went looking for some contemporary folk horror and The Haar by David Sodergren kept appearing everywhere.
So I gave it a listen.
And bloody hell, I enjoyed it.
A slimy creature, spectacularly gruesome deaths, a surprisingly emotional relationship and a story that has me wondering how I can steal the whole bloody concept for Sector 102.

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 // The Watcher by Christian Z. Dunn
What happens when you send the Space Wolves to spy on Konrad Curze? Probably nothing good...
The Watcher is a short, brutal Horus Heresy audio tale that uncovers the fate of a Watch Pack sent to keep an eye on the Night Haunter. It's dark, nasty and wonderfully Night Lords, and this fan of Curze's twisted Legion enjoyed every minute. Find out why this little 20-minute story earned a big thumbs up from Peps!
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

Book Review // Horus Heresy: Black Oculus by John French
Bridging the gap between Angel Exterminatus and the Battle of Tallarn, this short story focuses on the Navigators assigned to Iron Warrior Legion fleet. After their journey through the Eye of Terror, many of their number are... changed. This story also contains some hints as to the Iron Warriors motivation for their attack on Tallarn.
Book Review // Horus Heresy Gunsight by James Swallow
A killer loose aboard the most dangerous ship in the galaxy. A loyal crewman trapped among the corrupted. And a mission that’s failed every time it’s been attempted. Gunsight is a slow-burn descent into the shadows of the Vengeful Spirit.
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.
Audio Review // Predator: Eyes of the Demon
Fifteen new Predator stories. Skinned bodies, Sasquatch, even LARPing gone horribly wrong. Eyes of the Demon is messy, pulpy, and exactly the kind of Predator chaos I love. Full review up now!
Audio Review // The Harrowing by Rob Sanders
We’re diving back into the grimdark this week, and I have to admit, I’m pretty hyped. Why? Because the Alpha Legion is back in the spotlight, and if there’s one thing you can count on with them, it’s misdirection, betrayal, and chaos.
Dredd-fully Good Time: My Dive into Judge Dredd: Wanted: Dredd or Alive
Time to get back to my favourite universe…Judge Dredd. Audio dramas in this setting are rare and even harder to find. So when I found this one by Big Finish I knew I had to listen to it.
Book Review // By the Lion's Command – A Tense and Gripping Horus Heresy Short
A cheeky little short audio drama to get us back into the 30k horus heresy war.
