On the forge world of Morod, the machines never stop and the work never ends. The population toils in the mines and factoria to protect humanity from the monsters in the void, while the Adeptus Mechanicus enjoy lives of palatial comfort. Genetor Gammat Triskellian seeks to end this stagnant corruption. When he learns of a twisted congregation operating within the shadows, one which believes that the tech-priests are keeping people from their true salvation, he sees in them an opportunity to bring down Morod's masters and reclaim the world in the name of progress.

The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Nathaniel Garro and the Knights-Errant offer a tantalising answer to a question many fans of Warhammer 40,000 and the Horus Heresy have asked themselves - did every member of the traitor Legions turn against the Imperium? This collection of stories follows some few Astartes who turned on their Legion rather than their emperor or else became blackshields - renegades in that grey space somewhere between loyalty and betrayal.

Bait & Switch Tactics
Battletech Chronicles Books 1-3 Audible Logo Audible Audiobook – Unabridged is the advertised title. This title is an outright lie. All of the books in this title are abridged. One novel should take about 9 hours by itself left alone 3 novels. These 3 novels should be somewhere around 27-30 hours in total when unabridged.
I am certainly glad I got this title under the try it option. This was a bait and switch - advertise as unabridged but provide the abridged version.

Not great
The reader is flat and emotionless and the books are severely abridged. This renders the stories extremely disjointed and confusing.
Poor introduction to the series.

Rough start
The production put into these books fell flat with me. The first two books had music and background noise that I felt took away more than they added. The third book was much better in that regard and I enjoyed it more because of that. Overall still a good purchase, but not the best pick for anyone new to the MechWarrior universe.
