Summary
Book 3 in the Gaunt's Ghosts series.
On the shattered world of Verghast, Gaunt and his Ghosts find themselves embroiled within an ancient and deadly civil war as a mighty hive-city is besieged by an unrelenting foe.
Listen to it because: The return of a classic Gaunt's Ghosts novel! The Tanith First deploy to Verghast to help break the Chaos siege of Vervunhive. Tanks clash with daemon engines, Imperial Guardsmen make brave last stands and Colonel-Commissar Gaunt steps up and takes control of the war effort, showing for the first time the command abilities that will go on to make him a legend.
The story: On the world of Verghast, a grinding war between two hive cities - one loyal to the Imperium, the other fallen to the worship of the Dark Gods - is bolstered by the forces of the Astra Militarum, spearheaded by the Colonel-Commissar Gaunt and the Tanith First and Only. But bitter rivalries and treachery threaten to derail the defence of Vervunhive, and it falls to Gaunt to take command of the Imperial forces and forge victory from an almost certain defeat.
Written by Dan Abnett.

a great second book.
Yes book three is definitely a brilliant book two.
Skip 2 and you can come back to it later should the other 13 or so Ghost novels not be sufficient.

Still one of the best.
As good on audible as when I first read it all those years ago. Narrated beautifully and really tells the story well.

One of my favourite sci-fi/fantasy books
Possibly one of the best books in the Gaunts ghost series. The portrayal of the siege of a hive is beautifully delivered

One of the best
Everything you could want from a gaunt ghost book, after reading the books, it’s still just as good if not better, Re listing to them as a audible. Necropolis sets the scene and future to come for so many other gaunt ghost books. Don’t miss this one out. Sure as sure.

Please complete the series with Toby Longworth!
This is my most re-listened to series on audible. The original material is brilliant and Toby's performances really bring everything together. Please keep them coming and please rerecord and complete the set with Toby as narrator!

Amazing
One of the best books I’ve listened too great reading by the narrator. If you want to dive into the 40K universe on the front lines this is definitely the way to go

Excellent character development! So many twists and turns.
10/10!!!!! A new favourite book by Dan Abnett, stellar writing. The siege of Vervunhive is one to remember, it’s like listening to a historical recitation, as if it really happened. Onto book 4!
