Inhaltsangabe
A Warhammer 40,000 novel
When he discovers a prize that could change the face of the galaxy, disgraced Rogue Trader Janus Draik recruits a team to treasure-seeking misfits to claim it. But danger lurks in the darkness…
Listen to it because: The full story behind the Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress game is revealed! Join Janus Draik and his crew as they venture into the depths of the fortress and encounter all manner of deadly foes.
The story: There are those in the great expanse of the galaxy that seek profit wherever it is to be found: the deal makers, the opportunists and explorers – the Rogue Traders. Granted power by an ancient charter, sanctioned by the Emperor Himself, these scoundrels, entrepreneurs and adventurers roam the galaxy in search of fortune and glory.
None perhaps are as hungry for these twin vices as Janus Draik. All but disowned by his wealthy family, regarded as a wayward son of ill repute and little potential, Draik knows he must restore his fortunes soon or his misadventures will see him destitute and discarded.
So it is then that when he finds a truly exceptional prize, one that will return him to his deserved station, Draik recruits a crew of fellow treasure seekers and sets them to the task. Draik's obsession is all-consuming, and he will risk everything to obtain his prize and its many secrets, including his life or even that of his crew.
Written by Darius Hinks.

spannender Auftakt zum gleichnamigen Brettspiel!
Die Vorgeschichte zum gleichnamigen Brettspiel verbindet die Gruppe an Charakteren und macht neugierig auf die Fortsetzung der Geschichte. Ein guter cliffhanger, der trotzdem den aktuellen Handlungsstrang zufriedenstellend beendet.

Disappointing Story with an Excellent Speaker
As a Warhammer fan of many years I was always curious about the mysterious Blackstone Fortresses, for they play an important role during the Horus Heresy, a watershed moment within the 40K Universe. My hope was to get some insight into it's origin, purpose or history as common lore does not go further as to brand them as gigantic weapons platforms. Outside the Novella series, there is not much out there.
After a very promising beginning, helped by the excellent voice acting of Sean Conolly, the gang has been introduced to the listener, everybody seamingly equipped with a personal and unique agenda, The band is ready, off to the Blackstone Fortress!
And here everything, and I mean everything falls apart. The following section will contain some minor spoilers, but nothing important, nor the ending. Instead of having any of the questions listed before answered, we get a cheap revisitation of the 2004 movie Cube Zero, where a selection of people is forced to endure potentially leathal tests and traps in order to progress. While there is nothing wrong with that premise in practice, the story offers nothing else. Every now and then it is emphazied that the Fortress is constantly reconfiguring itself, opening new routes, closing others. Why? You won't find out ...
Every room is black, except when it isn't. The concept of a "flame" or "light" in the dark is abused over and over again, beaten like a dead horse that I eventually just accepted that the writer has given up.
The "encounters" in those rooms are disjointed and pointless, like ripped from a different book to make the page count fit in. While some, like the Drukhari encounter did raise my intrigue a bit, it to went nowhere. Why a Drukhari? Because reasons. Why write paragraphs of lines for the character if nothing he says matters in the slightest? Stop asking questions! The solution to this very encounter I can only describe as forced and uncreative, All encounters within the Blackstone Fortress have no attachment to the Fortress itself, they could be ripped out and put into a completely different franchise, nobody would notice.
As the final hour ticked down I was desperately hoping for something that would tie all those lose ends together, hoping for the "Aaaaahhh" ... moment when all is revealed and we applaud the authors four dimensional thought process.
That moment never came, the climax of the storyarc is as dull as the rest of the journey.
I came into this not knowing anything about Blackstone Fortresses and I left with the exact same amount of knowledge.
