skylerboodie Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Christopher Tester is awesome, his Primarch monologues on TikTok (which Valrak brought to my attention in one of his streams) are so good. I've never listened to BL audio books before (just the dramas) but this guy makes me want to get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never listened to BL audio books before (just the dramas) but this guy makes me want to get it! I never used Tiktok, but googling his account seems like a gold mine. I enjoy him in BL audiobooks and audio dramas (well, those are dead now), but he obviously enjoys acting so much, it's a shame that it's stuck with tiktok and not proper full-on productions. That man is acting out Charles zi Britannia's Equality speech, for feth's sake, and he SELLS it (even though the original JP actor still is unforgettable). And Hellsing's Major on loving war. Shivers. Completely on point with the passionate insanity. I need to stop digging through this one. Just found Dalinar's Most Important Words from The Stormlight Archive. Time to touch grass, otherwise I won't get anything more done today! Edit: :cuss:, found Emet-Selch...

I have wanted the Primarch anthologies on audio format for so long. A bit of an odd one to start with though, wasn’t Blood the third instalment?

Yiesss For some reason I give Nassir Amit an Aussie accent thats also kinda cockney. "Eat traitor." I managed to get mine on time, seems like the scalpers in Canada are not as interested in these recent product releases because there is a high risk and low reward. Took 15 minutes for them to sell out, same as Fall of Cadia. Edited September 2, 2023 by Krelious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpossumStrong Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Next week Creed: Ashes of Cadiad Paperback Valdor: Birth of the Imperium, i do recommend the book if you missed it. Blood of the Emperor audiobook is up for pre-order as well. Edited September 3, 2023 by OpossumStrong Ubiquitous1984 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I honestly don't get why they start with Blood of the Emperor, rather than Sons & Scions. Obviously, they want to milk it, so they'd rather record 3 ~5-6 hour audiobooks and sell them separately than just recording the latest edition, Heirs of the Emperor, which collects all three mini anthologies. But... why start at the third? Ubiquitous1984 and LemartestheLost 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to BL they never do this with their other audio releases. They always release the first book first. It's really weird that they haven't done so here.

Urauloth Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 The Jarnhamar Pack books were out of order too, we had to wait ages for the second one to get an audio release. RikuEru 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkChaplain Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 To be fair, Jarnhamar (or Uriel Ventris) at least had their books release fresh in hardback, ebooks and audiobooks at that point. They were entirely new books at the time, rather than stuff they took out of the back catalog randomly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzirhan Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Actually surprised Scourge the Heretic offered in Readers choice since the series never was completed, better to offer the third book that was never written DukeLeto69, skylerboodie and Felix Antipodes 2 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkhorse0607 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I haven't read any of the DoF novels because my Audible credits are limited and the reviews have not been stellar, but you can count me in for a Chris Wraight adventure into the Eye of Terror Ubiquitous1984 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpossumStrong Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Quote The mighty fleets of the Indomitus Crusade face terrors and dangers beyond imagining. As Guilliman’s crusade marches forth, bringing the Emperor’s light to thousands of worlds, Fleet Secundus is headed for the darkest dark: the Eye of Terror itself, where Secundus will execute a major offensive deep into the heart of the Archenemy. Along with warriors of the Adepta Sororitas and the Adeptus Astartes, the Imperial Navy battle cruiser Judgement of the Void pushes deeper and deeper into contested space. But as their journey unfolds, the greater schemes of the Indomitus Crusade begin to descend into treachery and intrigue. And as the forces of Chaos close in, a battle for survival is about to unfold, one which has ramifications not just for Fleet Secundus, but for the future of the galaxy itself. Oh well, sisters of battle again, i feel like they should announce the series as some sort of "Crusaders of Faith" or something like that, most of the books got Black Templars or sisters of battle in them, don't get me wrong, there are some cool plotlines and stories about them, but i started to read the series to know more about the unnumbered sons,adapting of Guilliman to the new(In his perspective)imperium, new and restored chapters of SM. I'm just tired of reading about zealots and fanatics.
