Summary
Blackstone Fortress Book 2
Stripped of his titles and riches, rogue trader Janus Draik leads a desperate expedition into the Blackstone Fortress in an attempt to restore his fortunes and save Precipice from deadly peril.
Listen because....
Get into the heart of Blackstone Fortress and discover the bonds between the explorers in an audiobook packed with action, intrigue and character drama.
The story:
Precipice is dying. For weeks, the space port has been battered by hellish geomagnetic storms, the work of sinister goings-on within the nearby Blackstone Fortress—a vast, ineffable creation that looms in the darkness of the void. Fragile alliances between Precipice’s xenos and human inhabitants crumble as the port’s docking points are destroyed, eroding any hope of escape.
Amid this bedlam, opportunistic rogue trader Janus Draik remains coolly unaffected. As an apocalyptic tempest threatens the life of his crew, Draik bitterly ponders a letter he has received from his father, disowning him and stripping him of his rank, titles and inheritance. In a last-ditch attempt to restore his fortune, Draik unites the disparate adventurers of Precipice to delve even deeper into the mysteries of the Blackstone Fortress. Once there, he learns of a threat that could endanger not just his own future, but the Imperium as a whole. Draik must mend the brittle bonds of trust, loyalty and respect between the survivors to destroy this abominable intelligence and avert disaster.
Written by Darius Hinks. Narrated by Charles Armstrong. Running time 10 hours, 58 minutes (approx).

Badly put together.
As other reviews have said, there is unfortunately overlapping audio on more than one chapter as well as some chapters that repeat themselves. It breaks immersion and ruins the experience. Hard to recommend until this issue is solved

Currently broken by bad editing (fixed)
Chapter 3 is a total mess of sound with overlapping dialogue from other chapters, appears nobody bothered to listen through or check for errors before release
Since release the errors in editing have been fixed however the experience soured the book

Fine but spoilt by poor editing.
The story itself and voice acting are fine. Pretty standard for Black Library stuff. However I'm only about a third in and already struggling to continue. The overlapping audio and, as far as I can tell, completely missing chapter so far is ruining the experience and making me regret this. I dont mind the odd bit of repetition or odd mistake but full chapters are a bit of a joke. I'll continue because I don't want to have wasted my money but I can't recommend this to anyone as is.

Broken
I agree with the other reviews. This is broken, with overlapping audio, and repeating chapters. I notified Audible/Amazon several weeks ago, and there has been no resolution or contact since. Though they noted it would take several days to hear back from them, but two weeks is a long time with no word, it is not great. Audible usually has impeccable customer service.
It would be good if they pulled this down until it is fixed. Even Black Library has stopped showing the audiobook in their feed - it is still there if you search for it, but it is no longer marked down as a new release, or featured in any way. This suggests the fault lies with Black Library/Warhammer than with Audible. Still, any action is better than inaction.

Fun and entertaining story and performance
I was very excited this was coming to audible. I found myself satisfied. And I hope for the short story collection to be released on audio format too.
