Summary

Book 2 in the Eisenhorn series.

Inquisitor Eisenhorn must track down and defeat the forces who would destroy him or face the wrath of the Ordo Malleus....

Listen to It Because:

Eisenhorn's back in a classic thriller. What could be cooler than an inquisitor on the run for a crime he didn't commit? Not much. How much is Eisenhorn willing to compromise himself – and his closest friends – and risk his soul for a chance to clear his name?

The Story:

A century after his recovery of the alien Necroteuch, Gregor Eisenhorn is one of the Imperial Inquisition's most celebrated agents. But when a face from his past returns to haunt him, and he is implicated in a great tragedy that devastates the world of Thracian Primaris, Eisenhorn's universe crumbles around him. The daemon Cherubael is back, and seeks to bring the inquisitor to ruin - either by his death, or by turning him to the service of the Dark Gods.

Abnett and Longworth at their best

Once again the fantastic pairing of Abnett and Longworth strike again. A very well written book and a thoroughly engaging narration make this one of the best listens I’ve had recently. Would most definitely recommend.

Broken the "sequel sucks" stigma

Enthralling read, an unexpected plot twist in the first third propels the story to a new level.

Given this is a first person trilogy, some of the "pursuit" sections of this book seem to fall a bit flat, never really feels like eisenhorn is in danger of being found/ambushed due to the machinations of the imperium.

Some cruel twists right at the end, as is Abnett's way.
A big laugh or two, overall an engaging read as always!

Props to Toby again, he really is Dan Abnett's voice!

A good sequel to Xenos

Another very well written and engaging Eisenhorne story. The narration is excellent as usual. It is a bit raunchier a story in places. It remains a good story with a good different perspective of the Imperium. Generally it is well paced but the feeling of threat of being chased is lost towards the end. The story wobbles a bit as it comes to the climax without details really of how all the clues and information were found. Towards the end it feels a bit lazy writing. However it is still an excellent book and audiobook and highly recommend it.

Toby Longworthit

This is quickly becoming a favorite. Abnett is a competent writer and these stories are very entertaining (especially as someone just getting into 40K). But Toby Longworth's reading is what really made me want to dive into this series. Subtle, expert voice acting that brings every single character to life. His take on the inquisitor general Neve made me grin with pure enjoyment. Sure, a trained ear will catch some inconsistencies between takes, but it detracts nothing from the overall performance. Recommend!

Feel that much happened between

I listened to the first book and really liked it.
Started this one but too much seems to have happened. New characters and old ones being much older.
Felt confused and abandoned it for now.
