Discover tensions between Imperial servants on Varangantua as an extremely odd pair of detectives seek to solve a murder.

THE STORY

Born into riches, Probator Symeon Noctis attempts to atone for his past sins by championing the powerless of Nearsteel district. But the sprawling city of Varangantua is uncaring of its masses, and when a bisected corpse is discovered in the neutral zone between Nearsteel and the Adeptus Mechanicus enclave of Steelmound, Noctis finds himself cast into his most dangerous case yet.

Partnering with the tech-priest Rho-1 Lux of the Collegiate Extremis, Noctis is drawn into a murky world of tech-heresy, illegal servitors, and exploitation that could end his career, or his life.

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by James Mcnaughton and Katie Maw. Running time approx 9 hours 23 minutes

A gem among gems

I don't usually leave reviews like this for even my most beloved 40k material, but Flesh and Steel all but demanded it of me. It's simply too good for me to enjoy in silence, but if I drag out the most meaningful bits of why this book is wonderful, then I'll be here all night, and moreover no amount of fanboyish gushing will do it justice. So I'll sell it to you like this: If you like Warhammer 40k, read Flesh and Steel. If you like gritty crime and mystery novels, read Flesh and Steel. If you like good books, whether or not those include 40k or crime and mystery novels, read. Flesh. And. Steel. Right now. Do it. Stop reading this review and go buy the book, you absolute buffoon, what are you even still doing here ACQUIRE FLESH AND STEEL IMMEDIATEL-

Perfection. Love, incredible characters, and action.

I loved this story from start to finish. If you love the nobility in 40K and the stories of mortals in such a wonderful setting you will love this book. It plays out like a movie!

Well written

As someone who is still getting into warhammer and doesn’t fully understand all the details, this was so written so well. I would definitely listen/read it again!

Character Development

Great Novel that is a Detective story in the Warhammer 40K world and not the world with a story behind it.

need more

we need more Noctis and Lux. this series is golden for this medium and I'd imagine even better for film/TV. please give us more!! I'm at the edge of my seat here.
