About this listen

A Rogue Traders Novel

As the Indomitus Crusade begins, Roboute Guilliman tasks the Davamir Compact to find a route across the Great Rift.

Listen to it because

Witness the deadly politics and incredible wealth of the Imperium's privateers, as three powerful rogue trader dynasties put their considerable assets to work for the greatest crusade in millennia.

The story

Proud Lamertine. Fierce Helvintr. Cunning Radrexxus.

Since the halcyon days of the Great Crusade, these noble rogue trader dynasties have plied the void in the Emperor’s name, answering to whomsoever sits as the king of the Davamir Compact. There has been profit and adventure and abundance in these times… Yet now the galaxy is changed, divided by the birth of the Great Rift. As plans are drawn up for the most immense crusade imaginable, the Emperor’s reborn son demands that the Compact seek a way across the Rift.

When tragedy and betrayal threaten all their endeavours, it is the Lamertine heir, Erastus, who must rise to the fore—to guide the disparate forces of the Compact in service to their sacred mission, to avenge the wounds done to them by hidden hands, and to reveal the darkest secrets threatening the Imperium’s dreams of unity…

it has been a few months since i've listened to this, and i still think about it. it was suspenseful, and the ending was definitely in the spirit of grimdark.
narrator's performance was certainly interesting, and i understand that it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but i will be looking for more.
overall, i really enjoyed it, thank you.

interesting

Why? The longer you listern the better it gets. I have to admit, at first ..it took a while to get into this book, but the longer you stick with it, you get more and more connected to the characters and the plot.

Gangster, blue blood, semi-honourable, pirates of the 40k universe.... What more can you ask for?

I thought the narrator fit the book, Joe shire did well!

Brilliant audio book. well worth the credits. Come get some!

Call this a fine wine. ( no spoiler review)

I wish it got to the point alot faster. it's really well written but at times some scenes are overwritten and it felt like it missed something towards the end

the writing is really well done and the performance is incredible.

A little disjointed. Story pace is odd. Could have done a lot more with it. Ending meh.

Ok…

Void King is a perfect example of Marc at his best. Filled with intrigue, politics, culture and an excellent dash of action and deception! I am hopefully looking forward to seeing a sequel to this in the future!

Long Live The King!

The narrator when just narrating has an effect that makes him sound like a mechanicus fish man.

Slow but enjoyable

Good story over all. Nice break from other titles. I felt the Audio was poor at times, I like the narrators voice however I felt the audio was distorted or had an effect on it.

story got progressively better

Interesting story and I'm happy to have listened to it - always a pleasure to find a non-SM story in the grimdark, especially about rogue traders.
(spoiler warning) The story had some issues. The lead character was too naive. I also found the overstated importance of rogue trader heirs - who at the same time are sent again and again into the most dangerous missions imaginable - quite laughable actually. The patriarchs/matriarchs of the dynasties were suddenly so overcaring and worried every time it was too late...
Also during the course of this book the flagships of several dynasties - ships that had served for thousands of years - are destroyed. If it was so easy and it happened so often then these flagships would never have served for so long!
Finally, the inclusion of GSC as the plot twist was tedious and unwarranted. There is too much of them everywhere as if Black Library was forcing its authors to fit Genestealer cultist into every book it can.

Not bad overall, with strong story issues

Interesting story with some typical 40k characters, hopefully this story arc plays and plays, but the sound quality seems muffled.

Rouge trader novel.

When I got this I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I actually did by the end. The story was very good and the narrator was great and really suited the story and characters. I hope they bring out a second book, which the ending does seem to leave things wide open for it to be continued.

A Great (surprise) Listen!
