A Death Korps of Krieg Audiobook

A Commissar assigned to the Death Korps of Krieg must use all his guile and persuasion to prevent them from marching to their own death as they battle the t'au empire for control of an Imperial planet that's become a lost cause. Can he save these grim warriors from themselves?

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's another chance to see what makes the Death Korps of Krieg so utterly terrifying – their chilling lack of self-regard. How do you motivate an army to value their own life when they have a death wish that can't be denied? When facing an army with superior technology, the Death Korps' usual tactics could spell their doom.

THE STORY

The battle for Rezlan VI is over, but for Commissar Valian Hesh of the Death Korps of Krieg, the war has just begun.

After an Imperial battleship condemns the ravaged world to an agonising death, the t’au and the Imperium of Man are locked in a bitter stalemate. Hesh has only one chance to escape this madness – preventing the 472nd Siege Regiment of Krieg from attempting a suicidal final assault on enemy lines. But as the t’au tighten their grasp on the planet and fire and poison leach into its atmosphere, the commissar’s time is running short. With few allies save for Jens, his cryptic prefectus militant, he must risk everything to save his soldiers.

Can Hesh bring the 472nd to heel, or will he lose himself in the process?

Written by Rhuairidh James. Narrated by Andrew Wincott. Runtime 10 hours and 6 minutes approx.

Kriegs Deathriders

An amazing look into the life of a death korps commisar and his unique struggle balancing the strengths and reputation of the Kriegsmen

Great read

Amazing story. A must read for all 40k fans especially for those death korps lovers

Story, Lore, Details

A must read for all krieg fans. This book give so much more lore and detail to not only the korp, but commissary role within the korp. Love to see more this kind of books.

The Death Korp

I enjoyed this book as it gave the Krieg some personality. Also every time I hear Andrew Wincott I hear “First Claw” or “Septimus”. Some of my favorite characters are voiced by him!

Surprisingly excellent for a franchise fiction bookl

A very pleasant surprise to find that this Warhammer 40k franchise fiction book, which was probably written to help motivate purchases, certain plastic and metal figures for a tabletop war game, was a genuinely excellent novel (especially given the constraints of the genre and sub genre).

I think I can safely recommend this book for anyone who enjoys this kind of fiction, even if they aren't familiar with 40k or the specific portions of that 'verse' that star in this particular novel.

I am hopeful this author will once again deliver truly enjoyable work in future novels and stories, whether 40k franchise fiction or otherwise - it is clear he has the talent to do so.
