Summary
Book one in the Forges of Mars series.
An Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator fleet ventures beyond the borders of the Imperium in pursuit of arcane technology. Who knows what perils may lie outside the dominion of mankind?
Listen to it because: it's a novel like nothing else from Black Library. Graham McNeill crafts a tale that only he could tell, beginning a mind-bending saga of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Chaos and more besides.
The story: legend tells of a foolhardy expedition, led by the radical Magos Telok, that ventured out into the unknown space beyond the Halo Worlds in search of the 'Breath of the Gods' - an arcane device with the power to unmake and reshape the very stars themselves. Thousands of years later, the ambitious Lexell Kotov musters his Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator fleet and sets out to follow in mad old Telok's footsteps. With the might of the Imperial Guard and the Space Marines to augment his own forces, he searches for the hidden clues that will lead him to greatest power that the galaxy has ever known. But who knows what ancient perils may yet lie outside the Imperium and the dominion of mankind?
Written by Graham McNeill. Narrated by Joe Jameson.

Great story awful narration
As much I enjoyed the story it was ruined for me by the awful narrator, I am sure there is an audience for his talents but I am not it and it made me want to stop but I had been told what a great story this is (and it is) so I continued but I am going to have to but the ebook because the only thing I retain is that annoying narration. BL. Please don’t use him for any other books

AWFUL narrator
Imagine waiting for a long time for the first book of this trilogy to be put on audiobook, waiting and waiting...
Finally it get on sale on Audible, you buy it (for a hefty price) and then realise that instead of a good narrator like Keeble or Longwoth, they had put this one, who cannot (or wouldn't) make a different voice even on death threat and make all the characters of the book sound like they have some sort of mental retardation.

Good story, and a somewhat good narritor
The story is great, tho it does lack some explanation for the ending. Not going in to deep in the story its a solid one that senters around alt of well writhen people. The one thing holding the book back is the narrator. He does a good job on some of the people, but everything melts tougher as one big blob of voices. Until the names of the people that spoke I often had to guess who was talking. Not saying he did a bad job, but more a semi good one.

Great book, unsuitable narrator
Black Library books have been blessed with some incredible narrators, that truly elevate the stories being told. Sadly, this is not the case here.
The narrator is certainly not bad at his craft, just wholly inappropriate for this book and unconvincing. I found it difficult to enjoy as a result, particularly having recently listened to the Ciaphas Cain and Gaunt’s Ghosts stories, where the narration was superb and really added to the story.
