Summary

A Death Korps Audiobook

Vraks is an armoury world that is vital to the struggling Imperium and its efforts to resist the wider threats to humanity. The planet is a key link in the long supply chain that keeps the beleaguered Imperial regiments stationed around the Eye of Terror and ready for war.

The stoic Death Korps of Krieg have been assigned to this desperate world's defence. The grim soldiers of this regiment are born to serve the Emperor, as below Krieg’s irradiated surface is a human factory, existing only to produce soldiers destined for the front line in the Imperium’s most toxic and gruelling warzones. These indoctrinated soldiers are unflinchingly loyal and willing to sacrifice themselves without question or regard to ultimately win victory.

And they will need all these qualities to face the horrors awaiting them on Vraks…

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Understand just how the Death Korps of Krieg have earned their reputation as the Imperium’s most ruthless fighters in this gripping tale of desperate defence and defiant loyalty. Even when all seems lost, new ways to survive and fight are unearthed, as an officer named Tyborc, expecting to die, finds a new way to live.

THE STORY

Vraks has fallen.

Mustering an army from the ranks of the Death Korps of Krieg, the Astra Militarum embarks on a long and desperate siege to save the planet from the madness of an apostate preacher. It will last seventeen years, cost the lives of millions, and attract the attention of daemons and heretics alike, but the Death Korps must claw back victory, inch by bloody inch, from the hands of the enemy.

This is no an actual review!

Not sure where to add this so I'm doing it here, there is a blank section at Chapter 2, 20:10. Not sure if it is problem with the book itself or my own device.

The weakest of the Krieg books

I think I need to give it a second listen, but it stood out to me about halfway through the book that we’re given almost no context about the conflict or why any of the war on Vraks matters. Based on the book it’s not clear what the chaos forces ultimate goal is, or why the imperium needs to retake the world. Large scale battles take place entirely off screen. At one point half the Dark Angels chapter turn up with Azrael at their head, fight a massive battle for the star port, then leave in the space of about 2 paragraphs and this is barely mentioned again. Without going into spoilers, the final battle/ confrontation of the conflict is basically mentioned in passing as a flashback by someone who wasn’t there and doesn’t actually take place in the book. There are also abrupt time jumps from one sentence to the other that aren’t made clear, so the narrative jumps forwards 2 years at various points without making this clear. I thought the authors previous books did a better job of depicting drawn out sieges and the toll on human life, this one felt off and disjointed to me. The voice acting is good.
