Summary

A Warhammer Crime audio.

Murder in the neutral zone between Imperial and Adeptus Mechanicus territory sets Probator Symeon Noctis on a dangerous investigation.

Listen to it because: discover tensions between Imperial servants on Varangantua as an extremely odd pair of detectives seeks to solve a murder.

The story: born into riches, Probator Symeon Noctis attempts to atone for his past sins by championing the powerless of Nearsteel district. But the sprawling city of Varangantua is uncaring of its masses, and when a bisected corpse is discovered in the neutral zone between Nearsteel and the Adeptus Mechanicus enclave of Steelmound, Noctis finds himself cast into his most dangerous case yet.

Partnering with the tech-priest Rho-1 Lux of the Collegiate Extremis, Noctis is drawn into a murky world of tech-heresy, illegal servitors and exploitation that could end his career or his life.

Written by Guy Haley. Narrated by James Mcnaughton.

Solid w40k drama

Exploring the w40k universe from the perspectives far removed from the battlefield is something that I find far more enjoyable than endless back and forth war stories.

This is a very solid if not quite spectacular start to what could be a great series. It could uncharitably be described as Sam Spade with augs laced with an undercurrent of class commentary, but it's actually something greater than the sum of its parts.

Intriguing and engaging

As an old fan of the 40k universe I absolutely loved this novel. Flesh and steel fleshes out the day to day lives of the average imperial citizens and helps build a view of the class hierarchy and minutiae of non combatants lives, duties and struggles of the poor downtrodden souls of the emperor’s citizens. Written well and having many twists to the tale certainly leaves you hungry for more whilst it’s not such a cliffhanger ending there’s plenty to make a sequel or hopefully sequel’s
Kudos to the voice talent very well read and just the right amount of emotional emphasis where needed.
Listen to this novel if you enjoy crime series and sci-fi I highly recommend 10/10

Good story and performance

very well read with each character being clear and distinguishable. Story ties everything up nicely though does leave with something to bait a sequel. Hope the continue the characters story.

Pretty good detective story

As a detective novel it's reasonably standard fare however it is enhanced by being placed in Warhammer 40k and moves along with twists and turns at a good pace. Well performed by the narrator.

The Servitor Manufactory

The voice acting, particularly on the sections from Rho-1 Lux's memcore, is very well done, with subtle details that I enjoyed

epilogue massively let it down. so, I'd recommend finishing the story there. other than that, I really enjoyed it.

Good performance, but story lacking a bit.

actually a decent story, but written in a kinda childish interpretation of a noir crime story, the bit about the face full of felid pulled me out of the story more than it should. and why call criminals, criminalis?
