Summary

A Warhammer 40,000 audio drama boxed set.

The galaxy has changed. The Imperium is divided, and a primarch has returned - and the Ecclesiarchy, the great Imperial church - is close to civil war. Only Saint Celestine -with the aid of Inquisitor Greyfax - can stand in the way of this disaster.

Listen to it because

Two of the biggest heroes of the Dark Imperium - Saint Celestine and Inquisitor Greyfax - join forces to stop one of the most important Imperial organisations from falling into civil war in an epic four-part audio saga starring none other than Catherine Tate!

The story

During the turbulent Reign of Blood, a great schism in the Imperial Ecclesiarchy threatened all of Terra and promised a darkness to rival the terrors of Old Night. Fell times have come again to the Imperium, and a War of Faith appears inevitable. Standing in the way of catastrophe is Celestine, the Living Saint and one of the greatest heroes of the age. Only she can reunite the warring factions of the Ecclesiarchy and prevent a second Reign of Blood. Together with the Inquisitor Greyfax, Celestine and her allies must hunt across the shrineworlds of the Imperium and beyond to root out the evil behind the schism and burn it out with righteous, cleansing flame.

Written by Gav Thorpe.

Performed by Cliff Chapman, Steve Conlin, Andrew Fettes, Matthew Hunt, Toby Longworth, Carla Mendonca, Richard Reed, David Sibley, Ramon Tikaram and Jo Woodcock, with Emma Gregory as Saint Celestine and Catherine Tate as Inquisitor Greyfax.

Noise, dull noise

Black LIbrary have assembled a decent cast for this audio-drama, including Catherine Tate in the lead role. So I was reasonably optimistic when I downloaded this. Unfortunately, that feeling lasted about 5 minutes into the story.

What's the problem? Well several actually. FIrstly: soundtrack. There is awful, cheap-sounding keyboard music sounding almost constantly throughout this. Characters also frequently speak at once, when they are not yelling above explosions - all of which makes it pretty hard to make out the dialogue.

Secondly: Lead character, Inquisitor Greyfax is utterly, excrutiatingly dull. A zealot with an unshakeable belief in her own righteousness, she lacks any of the depth or personality which make Dan Abnett's inquisitors, Gregor Eisenhorn or Gideon Ravenor such compelling protagonists. Instead Catherine Tate has little to do except bellow at pretty much everyone.

Thirdly plot. There really isn't one, it's just cheesy keyboards, explosions and Tate yelling. I've stuck out every audio book I've ever paid for, but I simply lost the will to live halfway through this.

absolutely incredible

I need more 40k audio dramas in my life.. this was next level stuff! really enjoyed it, action packed, shame it's only 4 hours long.. the last hour is interviews with the voice actors but absolutely worth this month's credit.

Not for me

Unfortunately these radio play style releases just don't work for me. This one almost worked but I think Catherine Tate just wasn't the right choice for Greyfax and that sealed it for me.

Great production values but forgettable story.

the performance and production values of this audiobook are what shine here however the story isn't necessarily going to blow you away. a serviceable story at best though and it is still pretty entertaining.

Really good! but be advised...

I loved this performance!!! but some may hate it. if you like radio performances and dramatisations. then you will love this too, if you don't, then this will not be for you.
Well acted, lots of background sounds, and the story is good but not gripping.

sooo good!

loved it, brilliant cast and performance. all the sounds and background noises really add to the 40k vibes. the q&a at the end was a welcome addition.
