About this listen
A Deathwatch novel.
Talon Squad return to action, hunting for a missing inquisitor on a world that has been claimed by the T'au Empire - but has their quarry been taken or defected to the Greater Good?
Listen to it because: It's the long-awaited sequel to Deathwatch and is packed with the high-octane alien-hunting action you've come to expect from Steve Parker.
The story: The Deathwatch are the elite of the elite - small teams of Space Marines handpicked for special missions that require the utmost courage and cunning. Now recovered from the injuries sustained on his previous mission, Codicier Karras must lead Talon Squad in the hunt for a missing inquisitor. Their only clue is the name of an Imperial planet that has been taken over by the T’au. Is the missing inquisitor alive or dead? Worse still, has she gone rogue, jeopardising one of the Inquisition’s most secret projects?
Karras must lead his team against a whole planet of hostile T’au and survive the deadly internal politics of the Inquisition to succeed in his mission, code named Shadowbreaker.
Action, intrigue and excitement are seamlessly woven together by the master of high-octane science fiction, Steve Parker.
Written by Steve Parker. Audiobook running time 16 hours and 37 minutes. Narrated by Andrew Wincott.

Enjoyable read
It was great to once again hear about the tales of squad Talon and their fight against Xenos enemies.
The story is fairly quick paced and has a number of natural phases. I especially liked the development of the lead characters.
My only gripe is the handing of control of the force to a human commander...having complete control over the space marines. This somehow diminished the aura of the space marines and was an error in the story telling.
However, that aside the story is engaging and comes with a fair share of bolter-porn which will keep die hard 40K fans happy.
Without spoiling the ending it leads things open to another installment and shows the insidious nature of the Chaos Gods!!

Intertwining great story
Superb interaction and flow between races and agendas. Evermore complex and left on a number of cliff hangers. Great book

Epic
Once again Black Library excel themselves. The Deathwatch have always been my favourite chapter since their creation all those years ago, a kind of SAS/Mossad/Seal Team of the 40K universe sent into a theatre to do the dirty jobs. The voice acting in this audio book is great though I really think the whole thing would've benifited greatly if it had been an audio drama with multiple voice actors rather than one person doing them all. His interpretation of characters and accents can grate sometimes during heavy action scenes where multiple characters are shouting commands or exposition. He has to make them noticeably difference so has English and Scottish, male and female and human and alien and sometimes it REALLY doesn't work-multiple actors would've made it "work".
Saying that, though, the story is amazing and after a slow start REALLY ramps up, and the events that are being hinted at to come in the 40K are actually terrifying. Unless GW fluffs it as they have before. Which I worry they might...because they have before...
Is this the end of the 40K universe, kind of like a Warhammer/AoS reset? God, I hope not....
Anyway, enjoy this-I REALLY did.... 😊

Old School Space Marine Story
A good story which adds elements of the inquisition into a space marine story. It's old school because space marines are nearly invincible with nearly nothing other than another space marine able to defeat them. There is never really a concern any of the main characters could be killed.
