Summary

A Warhammer Crime audio.

Murder in the neutral zone between Imperial and Adeptus Mechanicus territory sets Probator Symeon Noctis on a dangerous investigation.

Listen to it because: discover tensions between Imperial servants on Varangantua as an extremely odd pair of detectives seeks to solve a murder.

The story: born into riches, Probator Symeon Noctis attempts to atone for his past sins by championing the powerless of Nearsteel district. But the sprawling city of Varangantua is uncaring of its masses, and when a bisected corpse is discovered in the neutral zone between Nearsteel and the Adeptus Mechanicus enclave of Steelmound, Noctis finds himself cast into his most dangerous case yet.

Partnering with the tech-priest Rho-1 Lux of the Collegiate Extremis, Noctis is drawn into a murky world of tech-heresy, illegal servitors and exploitation that could end his career or his life.

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by James Mcnaughton.

Loved it

Really enjoying books set in the Warhammer universe that don't involve space marines. Hope to see more Warhammer crime books

my first Warhammer crime book, won't be the last

the characters are fascinating, the closer up view of an imperial world is so interesting and drew me in. Noctis and Lux are fantastic characters, both very relatable despite a time separation of 38,000 years.

excellent narrator too. looking forward to the next Noctis and Lux story now.

A noir crime novel in the 41 st millenium

I really enjoyed this listen. a great peak into the proceedings of both regular human and mechanicus law enforcement. recommended if you want something else than space marines in your 40k books.

Gritty crime

I really enjoyed this departure from the usual 40K novel of endless war between superhuman soldiers. This novel gives you a decent cyberpunk crime story wrapped in 40K settings. I’m looking forward to the sequel.

Pretty good, slow burn

I think I enjoyed Bloodlines more, I could relate to the downtrodden middle aged guy more, this is pretty strong, with good performances from both leads.

Where it leaves you at the end, you definitely want more, a great cliffhanger.

I'd buy the next one.

Entertaining

This is a familiar trope used in many crime books the main difference here that it is set in the Warhammer universe, it’s an entertaining listen and I enjoyed it but the use of the first person narration meant far too many “I said, he said” which after a while became annoying, personally I prefer Chris Wraights telling of life in this world, i had not heard this narrator before and he did a really good job and kept the interest alive
