Story
Carried by six Sisters of Battle, each the embodiment of a revered saint, the funerary procession known as the Triumph of Saint Katherine marches from world to world, battlefront to battlefront. Where darkness and heresy are rampant, it brings faith, hope and courage to the warriors of the Imperium. Sister Avra of the Order of Our Martyred Lady is honoured beyond measure to battle alongside the sacred procession in defence of the beleaguered world of Kiros. However, this bold young warrior holds a secret shame in her heart, one she believes can only be redeemed in death.

After seven long years of conflict, the Horus Heresy nears its end. But now, as the Warmaster Horus marches on Terra to rip his father from the Throne, the seat of the arch-traitor’s power lies empty. Cthonia, a world once dominated by brutal murder-gangs, is occupied by the Emperor’s praetorians—the indomitable Imperial Fists. For the Sons of Horus, this outrage demands a reckoning.

Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past.

The Carcharodons have hunted for millennia, but now they are drawn into a new blackness...the Dark City of the drukhari itself. Commorragh. For a thousand years, Chaplain Tangata Manu has searched for a relic lost under his watch: an ancient thing, once charged into the keeping of the Forgotten One himself. But at the brink of seeing his hunt fulfilled and the relic returned, it is stolen from under him.

Summary
A Chaos Space Marines Novel
The Horus Heresy is over. The World Eaters are leaderless and their greatest hero is in a coma. Poised on the brink of destruction, the Legion needs Khârn—but will his awakening save them or spell their doom?
Listen because...Khârn is one of the most iconic figures in the Warhammer 40,000 setting, the epitome of Khorne's mortal servants. In this story, you can witness his transition from the World Eaters Captain of the Horus Heresy to the blood-mad betrayer feared across the 41st Millennium.
The story: the Horus Heresy is over. The traitor Legions have scattered, fleeing the wrath of a vengeful Imperium. The World Eaters are leaderless, their primarch missing and their greatest hero, Khârn, locked in a coma. The surviving Legionaries have turned upon themselves, their Butcher's Nails driving them to ever-greater acts of berserk savagery. Poised on the brink of destruction, the Legion needs direction. It needs someone to rally around. It needs Khârn—but will his awakening save them, or doom them entirely?
Written by Anthony Reynolds. Read by Richard Reed.

I liked it but...needs more blood and skulls.
Kharne is barely in it. it spends too much time on the humans aboard the W.E ship who literally add nothing to events. The story is at it's strongest when the WE are actually fighting. it's still worth a listen but the title of the book made me think we,d get more insight to kharnes past before becoming a war hound and showing how much his ideals and motives have evolved to the betrayer we now know. Richard Reed preforming did a great job I just feel the story's writing/script fell flat for him which is shame. At the end of it all I would say that this one book I would rather listen to than physically read. Still worth a listen for more information on the world eaters I guess.

Kharrrrrn!
I have to admit Kharn alongside Huron and Sigismund is a must read/listen character and since I have the LE and ebook version I had to complete with the audiobook, I enjoyed Richard Reeds narrating of Mephiston and the necrons but he is not suited to the XII legion, he made them sound civilised and almost majestic! Andrew Wincott would have been the ideal for me

A recycled tale from a different age
The problem with older Black Library stories is that canon in Warhammer 40k is a fluid concept. Established facts of lore are rarely subject to huge edits or 'retconned'. Rather, they evolve and change organically in small ways over time as they are treated by multiple authors in multiple publications. Thus the older a GW publication is - whether it be rulebook, codex or novel - the less likely it is to be in keeping with the current tone of the lore.
Kharn: Eater of Worlds is a perfect illustration of this problem. Although this audiobook production is very recent, the paperback version was published in March 2016. A lot of lore has passed under the bridge since then.
The choice by BL to recycle this older book is clearly driven by the desire to follow up on the recent Sigismund yarn with the next edition in a series on the lesser characters of the Heresy.
And herein lies the problem: The last time we saw Kharn was in the most recent instalment of the Siege of Terra (Warhawk by Chris Wraight) in 2021. Then, Kharn was shown as a bloated, crazed, Chaos-fueled killing machine no longer capable of rational thought. Yet the Kharn of 'Eater of Worlds' is a calm, rational almost zen-like character. Although this book is chronologically the next chapter in Kharn's story after Warhawk, it no longer fits with the current tone and detail of events (** spoiler alert - least of all that last time we saw Kharn in Warhawk, he was apparently being chopped into small bits by Sigismund **).
The unremittingly bleak story of Kharn and his brother World Eaters and their descent into madness in the Horus Heresy & Siege of Terra series is suddenly wiped out and replaced here with a much gentler tone of story. In 'Eater of Worlds' the World Eaters are shown as a bunch of mildly irascible warriors who are still capable of getting around a table to argue things out. Okay, it's all relative, but they are definitely not the drooling loons that appear in the SoT novels.
Kharn himself is shown as a calm, almost zen-like presence who is able to make considered and capable decisions. At the time, this may have been a commendable attempt by Anthony Reynolds to rescue the ridiculously savage legion's brand and show them as a fighting force that might credibly pose a military threat to someone (Let's face it, the World Eaters shouldn't logically pose the average Planetary Defence Force a serious problem: all you'd have to do is line up opposite them... and bombard them into tiny, angry little particles with artillery while they drooled and waved their axes..?)
There's also an attempt to backwards-engineer a convincing reason why Kharn is known as 'The Betrayer'. I think this is always a mistake: when authors and script writers try to retro-fit stories to excuse questionable decisions from the lore's distant past. Let's face it, someone working on an early codex decided 'The Betrayer' sounded like a cool name for a baddie. For me, that's the sort of detail that should get quietly retconned over time rather than have authors jumping through hoops to explain.
Anyway - I'm not a fan of this book, as you can probably tell. Aside from the above issues, there's a lot of boring World Eater characters who are very difficult to tell apart - they're all bad-tempered, warlike and Richard Reed gives them all dodgy accents which doesn't help one bit (Paul Sparks already mentioned this in his review and I 100% agree with his comments. Andrew Wincott would have been ideal to narrate this).
The Sigismund novel was pretty good, but this is a cheap move. If BL wants to continue to squeeze the final drops of juice out of the Heresy, the least they can do is give us newly-written, quality stories which fit with the current tone and version of events.

Pointless.
A pointless story only barely including Khârn. It's big reveal is that it has been leading upto the battle of Skalathrax, except that is not a surprise as its basically Khârn's only piece of Lore.
Also the character descriptions and personalities dont mesh well in with the story as told in the Siege of Terra.

Not the best, but not the worst
Slightly disappointed with this. The book is titled kharn, and he doesn’t appear until half way through. The battle scenes are narrated well, but again very little of kharn.
Worth a listen as it’s only short but not the best world eaters lore you’ll fine.

Good story, but a bait/switch
Good story about the world eaters, but we see a typical bait and switch that has become common with the Black Library. Kharn gets the Primarch treatment and becomes a plot device that gets no POV and relatively few lines of actual dialogue,

This is such a bad story
I was expecting so much more for being a book about Kharn. The story is such a non event in 40K. The performance by Richard Reed is very well done, but I feel bad he had this story to narrate. There is no action til after chapter 7 or 8 and Kharn is barely in it. If you were expecting action and a bigger story about Kharn look elsewhere. Really sad seeing as he is one of the most iconic characters in Warhammer 40K.

Great study of Kharn post HH especially compared to him with Argel Tal in the book Betrayer. Unfortunately the ending just makes us want more if you know the lore implications at the end. This book is the story of Kharn's final dive into the abyss so to speak of Khorn's madness.

Less than you expect but what is there is nice
First half is “where are the world eaters after terra and why is kharn asleep?” Second half is a battle. I wanted more of a “what was kharn doing in the eye of terror and how did he earn the name ‘betrayer’?”
The story just ends half way trough the battle with no real resolution. Kharn’s book ending speech is “‘world eaters unite!’ Roll credits.” All the characters are interesting and well written, and the acting gives them a lot of personality, but that makes the unfinished ending all the more disappointing.

A misunderstood story
People are downrating this because they say Kharn doesn't show up until halfway through the story. While this is true, that isn't the point of the story. The story is really about the beginning of the end of the World Eaters as a unified Legion. And while Kharn is unconscious for most of the story, when he finally wakes up, he makes up for the absence by winning with charisma. I recommend this.

I love this book, when it first came out. sounds even better on audio. Anthony Reynolds writing is phenomenal, and the narration is top-notch.
