Incredible journey

There is nothing like an old book getting a new spotlight. This is not just worth a listen, but may be one of the better demonstrations of what guardsman can be in a galaxy where there is only war.

Last chance

Had its ups and downs like usual but I actually found some parts comical and it painted an atmosphere that was dark and bleak. Fitting for the source material

Brilliant Story

An eventful look into another world within the Imperial Guard - The Penal Legion. Fun, thrilling and addictive.

classic warhammer fun

The classics are classics for a reason, and I absolutely love this one. No hope, no happiness, just violence. Great narration, great listen.

Always a good read

This story is always hits. Everything that happens to the lead up at the end is just perfect.
