Summary
In the hellish sprawl of Imperial Terra, Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl serves as a stalwart and vigilant protector, for even the Throneworld is not immune to the predations of its enemies. In the course of his Emperor-sworn duty, Crowl becomes embroiled in a dark conspiracy, one that leads all the way to the halls of the Imperial Palace.
As he plunges deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the many palace districts, his investigation attracts the attention of hidden forces, and soon he and his acolyte Spinoza are being hunted - by heretics, xenos, servants of the Dark Powers, or perhaps even rival elements of the Inquisition itself. Soon they discover a terrible truth, one that if allowed to get out could undermine the very fabric of the Imperium itself.

A Book That Brings Terra To Terrible. Life.
The Carrion Throne is one of the best audio books I have ever listened too. It brings Terra to terrible life, the futility and awful daily misery of a citizen's fear and terror of there short painful existence. While the inquisition face near insurmountable odds in the daily smog filled world where all may be against them, including there own kind.
There is so much in this book that one listen is not enough, you just miss things....you just do and for the warhammer 40k fanatic and role player there is so much background info on holy terra you will be taking notes all the way through.
This book has something for everyone and more besides.
So sit back and enjoy for I heartily recommend it and then some. Ave Emporatis .🙏
Regards Kez 👐

great
Love the Inquisiton books and this was a really good one.
Some surprises and twists I didn't see coming combined with great voice acting and memorable characters made it extremely enjoyable.

such a vast and immersive universe, I don't understand why it has never made it main stream.

My first 40k book
For anyone looking for a 40k novel on the inquisition, this is the one for you. I found myself listening to this for hours on end, hooked for more. Never failing to keep my entertained and depicting the cruel 40k universe to a T.

perfectly captures 40k
Its grim. It's dark. It's exactly what you expect to see from the 40k universe after you take out pitched battles and space marines. Set on holy Terra this book does a great job of visualising the reality of the grim dark 40k universe. numerous plot twists with a great story and even better narration I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in gothic sci-fi 10/10 from me.

Interesting story, with a really solid narrator
The book itself has a pretty slow pace, with some parts being needlessly slow and ponderous. That said; it contains good, interesting characters who are not obnoxious (a rare thing these days), and well-written depictions of the world, people and society they live in. There is action, but the bulk of the book is about people and interactions between them (which I really like).
The book is not perfect, and the pace/tempo is at times off, so that one can pay attention for a long time without anything really happening, for then something very important to occur during one short line of text.
Still, all in all, this book is more than worth the price, and I have listened to it multiple times. The narrator/VA does a great job with both the narration and the voices of the different characters, who are clearly defined, and easy to recognize as belonging to this or that person. He elevates the material, and really brings it to life.

Fizzled out in the end
Great atmosphere, good characters, interesting story.
Yet I newer got hooked by the horror part.
Was a little confused in the end and think I missed some important details.
Would have loved to like it more.
Still interesting.

I just didn’t care
I’ve listened to a lot of 40k books and this was one of my least favourites. There was nothing specifically wrong with it, but I just didn’t care about the characters or the plot. Maybe it was the narrator but my mind would just wander, even during the “exciting” bits.
