Oaths of Damnation

Warhammer 40,000

By: Robbie MacNiven

Narrated by: Charles Armstrong

An Exorcists Audiobook

The Exorcists are a Space Marine Chapter unlike any other. To combat the forces of Chaos, they willingly accept daemonic possession, knowing that once it is purged their shattered souls will no longer be susceptible to corruption. Those who fail the banishment trials become Broken Ones – living prisons for the terrors expelled from their brethren. Should such desperate measures become known to the wider Imperium, the Chapter would stand accused of the vilest of heresies.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Discover what happens when a Broken One is freed, and a daemonic conspiracy threatens to unveil the dark rituals of the Exorcists.

THE STORY

The Exorcists dispatch their Vanguard elite, the Hexbreakers, in a desperate quest to hunt down a Broken One, but the connection between their quarry and the strike force commander, Daggan Zaidu, is more than it first appears.

Depth of characters

Finally the Exorcists get a novel and in depth look. The exploration of what they give up and the lasting scars on them was great.

As a fan of theirs from the Dearhwatch novels featuring Watcher and his vigil over their team’s Librarian, it was great to see the chapter get some depth.

Highly recommend it

Finally an Exorcist Book! ruined by terrible narration

I have been an Exorcist fan for years having amassed a large Warhammer SM army based on them. I was so excited for them to get their own book. The narration is woeful. The narrator seems like he is reading furniture instructions and not an epic war novel. I have a huge warhammer library and this is the worst narration yet. monotone and dull.

do you like heresy? because it runs rampant in this novel.

Loyalist space Marines racing heretic space Marines to get their hands on a whole bunch of heresy... what's not to love ? think of Indiana Jones The last crusade but in the Warhammer universe.

Exactly what I wanted and more!

I was hoping and expecting a nice story about the Exorcists facing down and killing daemons, what I got was an in-depth look into the inner minds of the Exorcists as they struggle with the affect effects of being possessed and exercising daemons from their souls, reactions of daemons and traitors to them, and how these Loyalist Astartes push their way through their pain and madness to slay the forces of chaos!

and it's a book that isn't just "primaris die because you know nothing" which is nice!

Good example of an obscure chapter

I enjoyed the novel. While not the best one I’ve ever read, I’m very happy with it. It deserves 5 stars and I’d like to see MacNiven do some more. Also the narrator was good and provided good examples and didn’t do any weird stuff.
