A single CD with two Audio Dramas for the Horus Heresy: Hunter’s Moon by Guy Haley and Thief of Revelations by Graham McNeill. Hunter’s Moon is a nice story, well told, though it could easily have been a regular 40K story. Thief of Revelations, on the other hand, sweeps across the entire Heresy, but left me wondering […]
Scars is the unabridged audiobook version of the novel of the same name, written by Chris Wraight as his first Horus Heresy. Originally, Scars was published as a “web series” with chapters of the book released one at a time. I couldn’t be bothered at the time. As the title suggests, Scars focuses on the […]
Tackling Black Library’s Horus Heresy series can be daunting. Fortunately, Black Library also produces books in the series as unabridged audio books, which helps to mix things up. Vulkan Lives is the audio book version of Nick Kyme’s Salamanders entry to the Heresy, read by Saul Reichlin. It is a slightly unwieldy story (though Nick […]
I am an avid reader of Black Library books. These days, I probably read more Warhammer 40K novels from Black Library than I play Warhammer 40K.

Bloodspire and Deathwolf are two Space Marines Battles audio dramas by C. Z. Dunn and Andy Smillie respectively. Bloodspire features the Blood Angels. Deathwolf the Space Wolves. Both describe fights for (different) hive cities. Bloodspire felt a bit abstract, lacking a narrative core. Deathwolf, in contrast, was highly enjoyable. Most of all, the entire thing […]
The Dark King and The Lighting Tower are two short stories – or rather one story divided between two authors – published by Black Library as Horus Heresy audio drama in 2010. Just over an hour in length, it does an excellent job channeling key issues of the Horus Heresy into a tension-filled confrontation of […]
Not a lot of time to blog today. Deadlines have no mercy! But if you’re looking for a good read, head over to TheShellCase, where Phil just posted a great interview with Graham McNeill. Feels right on time, as I’ve just started into The Dark King (as a follow-up to Black Library’s recent audio drama Script book thing). […]
Here comes an interesting release from Black Library. Horus Heresy: The Scripts 1.

Are you interested in reading audio-drama […]
