Warhammer 40,000 Series

By: R S Wilt

Narrated by: Andrew Wincott

An Astra Militarum Audiobook

Physically and psychologically conditioned from childhood under the most horrific conditions imaginable, the Tempestus Scions are the Imperium's deadliest human soldiers – fearsome killers expected to follow their orders ruthlessly and without question.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Tempestor Traxel, star of the short story, Eradicant, returns to face off against an army of traitors and his own damaged consciousness. Can he overcome the toll that a lifetime of war has taken on his mind and fulfil his duty to the God-Emperor?

THE STORY

Led by the merciless Tempestor Traxel, the Scions of First Eradicant squad drop directly into the fires of a global civil war. Joined by a commissar who personifies the suffering of his past and facing a foe from the darkest days of the Imperium, Traxel's fracturing psyche places the entire world at risk.

On Rilis, Traxel will face the foe that broke him. This time, there is no price he will not pay.

Written by R. S. Wilt. Narrated by Andrew Wincott. Runtime 11 hours and 24 minutes approx.

Great to see characters act logically

It was great to see characters on both sides of the fight act like intelligent people who despite thier flaws try to find a way to win. To offen in warhammer books character motivations are attributed to zealotry or madness.

What happens when you have a US Army Vet write an Guard book

You get one of the best Imperal Guard books in ages. It's true grim dark with no character safe and beautifully detailed action scenes. If you where ever in the military you pick up on all the little references in the book that makes it feel more like a real war. If you love IG you need to read this book, if you love sci fi military you need to read this book. This is definitely the IG book of the year and maybe 40K book of the year.

Big fan of R.S. Wilt so far

I love the story and the characters. This ties into R.S. Wilt's previous short story "The Guns of Enth" which was about my chosen chapter: The Howling Griffons.
The reader, Andrew Wincott is definitely talented, my only complaint is that he defaults to a voiced whisper a little too often.

A Story Befitting the Tempestus Scions

If you liked Halo Reach, you’ll like this book. Especially in some of the bits later on, RS Wilt shows how a true elite, no nonsense special forces team gets things done, without being an angel of death. This is the first I’ve seen of this author and he needs to do more. Simply great story and as for my first book moving away from space marines, it was a fantastic jumping off point. Characters were interesting and unique, and the book has nice tragic undertones but never lingers on them for too long just as a Scion wouldn’t. RS Wilt should become a Black Library household name

very fun

enjoyed detailed look into the scions, the story was action packed and the villans seemed well made.
