Summary

An Astra Militarum Novel

A young soldier of the Astra Militarum is thrust onto a battlefield where the average life expectancy is just fifteen hours – facing brutal orks, artillery bombardment, and the horrors of no man's land.

Listen to it because

It's a sharp, incisive look at the first hours of war for a new Guardsman, and all the terrors that accompany it…

The story

Arvin Larn is terrified. On the battlefields of the far future, only an insane man wouldn't be. Seventeen years old and still new to the Imperial Guard, he is thrust straight into his first war, and must face horrors that his sheltered upbringing could never prepare him for. The trenches of the 41st millennium are filled with worse things than rats and trenchrot. For one, the world they fight for is being contested by the monstrous alien orks. The greenskins live for battle and fight without fear, so it's no wonder that the average life-span of an Imperial Guardsman on this forsaken world is only fifteen hours.

proper imperial guard story.

real good imperial guard story covering from conscription through the life of a guardsman. Fits properly into the 40k universe with glimpses into other areas to explain why something might be happening.

How did this book make me feel so hard?

This year I’ve read many, many Warhammer books but this one hit harder than I expected? Was better than Id hoped and I enjoyed deeply.

If you like trenches, orks and hearing about a noobs first 15hrs on the front line definitely check this out!

Solid guard story for sure.

Decent

It was a good story. Although I think there could of been more to the story and less focus on things that were happening behind the battle lines. The voices do get annoying after a while with little variety.

The description and setting of the scenes are great, and it really does give insight into the orks and guard on how they wage war.

10/10 guardsmen book

I cannot describe how well this book is written. I've listened to many, many books and this one is up in the top 3. Very well done.

Excellent Story.

Overall a really enjoyable journey following the humble Guardsman, many highs and a lot more lows in the story but it really does paint the grim darkness and bleak reality of being solider against a universe of Xenos, capturing the camaraderie of soldiers fantastically. Voice actor was brilliant! The price of credit is worth it just to hear Tom Allenby alone. Would highly recommend this Title to any Warhammer/Sci-fi Fan.

Fantastic book on the toughness of being a guardsman

A fantastic book giving you a real feeling for how it is to be a normal guardsman facing off against the worse the universe has to offer! Really well written and performed.
