The Armour of Contempt

Gaunt's Ghosts: Warhammer 40,000, Book 10

By: Dan Abnett

Narrated by: Toby Longworth

Book 10 in the Gaunt's Ghosts series.

Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt returns with the Tanith First to a world that he promised to save, only to find that years of war and the ever-present taint of Chaos may have damaged it beyond redemption.

Listen to it because....

It's a triumphant return to Gereon. Gaunt promised to liberate the planet from the forces of Chaos, and now he's back to keep his word. But as is ever the way for the Tanith, tragedy will be mingled with triumph as the war on Gereon grinds on...

The story:

Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt spent a year fighting as part of the underground resistance on the enemy-held world of Gereon. When he left, he promised that he would bring the forces of the Imperium to liberate Gereon's citizens from their oppressors. Now he has returned, a crusade army at his back, but he finds a world devastated by war and a people irrevocably damaged by the taint of Chaos. Now Gaunt must fight to save Gereon not only from the enemy, but from the Imperium itself.

Fantastic read!

It's a great addition to an already awesome series! There's something in here for every 40K fan: big cataclysmic battles, small intimate fights, and different imperial machinations going with and against each other. Zero complaints with author or reader!

Well made

This was brilliant. It truly shows the meat grinder mentality of the normal Guard Grunts. Meat to be thrown against a metal wall until it breaks. Puts it in perspective really.

Can’t get enough of this series!

Another great addition to the Ghost series, as always the ups and downs we come to expect .

I would give it 1 star because of reasons...

I would give it 1 star because of reasons you will find out reading it and how heart wrenching it is. but it's still such a good book. seeing a return of the dynamic we once enjoyed and a completely new perspective was awesome. A triumphant return to such an important setting that is integral to the Ghosts we know today is awesome. Even the heart break. awesome.

Listen to the book.

Toby Longsworth and Dan Abnett are heros of the black library. All Hail their return and may we pray for them to return again soon.

FETHING GRIMDARK MADNESS!

This book contains one of the most intense, grimdark, hopeless battle sequences I’ve ever listened to. You’ll know it when you get there.

FETHING hell. This series just does not stop outdoing itself. Book after book.

This one has it all. Including some painfull losses to the Tannith First and Only that really hit hard.

A great read.

“Sure as Sure.”
