About this listen

Book one of the Chronicles of Uriel Ventris

Newly promoted Ultramarines Captain Uriel Ventris is assigned to investigate Pavonis, an Imperial planet plagued by civil disorder and renegade eldar raiders.

Listen to it because: here is where the legend begins: the first mission of Uriel Ventris as captain of the Ultramarines Fourth Company.

The story: newly promoted to the captaincy of the Ultramarines Fourth Company, Uriel Ventris leads his warriors to the world of Pavonis, where vicious alien raiders are bringing death and destruction. As Pavonis descends into political turmoil, Uriel and his warriors must battle the xenos as they unravel a plot to unleash an ancient evil buried deep beneath the world - the mysterious and deadly Nightbringer.

Written by Graham McNeill. Narrated by Bruce Mackinnon.

Great planetary intrigue story read by a narrator better suited to childrens stories. Shame as I noticed he reads the next in the series too.

Not too complicate story for newcomer, however there are so many titles and names that could get newcomer confuse.

I read this series of books some years ago now and when I saw the black library audio was on Audible hoped it would be there, but no luck. Then I spotted them recently during one of the innumerable sales and snapped up the first two without a second thought.

Having just completed this first in the series, I am happy to say it is a solid story with one or two interesting twists and, for me at least, well narrated. I noticed some reviews found Bruce's narration poor, but I have listened to a hundred or more audio books now and found this one easy to listen to, so no complaints from me.

The story is not perfect but it contains a good mixture of politics and action. It can get tiring when the books spend too much time with the space marines and their experiences (and battles) and I appreciate it when the story takes time to build up a variety of main characters in their own settings before throwing them all in to the mix for what is usually an explosive finale. Here we find ourselves following an Adept of the Imperium, the Planetary Governor, opposition leaders, the Adeptus Arbites as well as Uriel Ventris and his Space Marines as the story unfolds.

Overall a book I would recommend and will be listening to again in the future.

An enguaging story well narrated

Nightbringer is a fantastic tale that the narrators exquisitely performance will be chills as you listen.

Fantastic from start to finish

Hire this narrator for more books. Give McNiel less important jobs. He's good for workdbuilding, not paying off big plot points.

Incredible narrator

A fantastic story and Ultramarines what else do you need,
Couldn't turn off.

This book was a fantastic introduction to this character in the Ultramarines. The setting and story was incredibly by dramatic build-ups and mind-blowing twists. I’d recommend this book to anyone.

Uriel Ventris’ journey as Captain starts amazingly.

A little disappointed in the narration. Seems as though speed in delivery was irritating and really a space marine should have a deep voice. Story wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. There are better in this series.

Sort of ok
