Great story, great narrator

The story is a must hear/read. We learn, thanks to Noctis, so many new and in this kind not so often published aspects of the „ordinary“ and „upper class“ life in our beloved Imperium. Here even money is a topic (which is not so often used). All this while criminal cases, hostage and murderer, is tried to be solved.
Furthermore Noctis‘ teamup with the Adeptus Mechanicus helps to better understand how human (beware of Heresy, hehe) these kind of Priests still are.

So, hear/read the story, you will enjoy it. Remember: The Emperor protects.

Murder in the gritty streets of the imperium

I enjoyed this book a lot. As much as I enjoy the constant warfronts and heroic deeds (or warcrimes) of the (anti-) heroes of the 40k universe, I have a soft spot for the stories that show us the grim realities of the more civilian life in the imperium. Guy Haley created a thoroughly entertaining whodunit, with strong characters, that shines light on the often overlooked, but peerlessly grimdark element of 40k: the servitors. He did an excellent job crafting this planet, with a couple of scenes that haunted my nightmares. James Mcnaughton does not need to hide behind the greats like Keeble, doing a superb job capturing the comparatively more human protagonist in this book. His Co narrator equally does a great job preforming the emotionless delivery of an admech, that still hints at more humanity, than she would likely be comfortable showing. Overall strong recommend.

Great characters - which are superbly narrated by James Macnaughton

Guy Haley has written Many good warhammer books in the past years. The past ones about the Indominus Crusade were however not among my favourites. I assume this is probably due to the - in my opinion - not so great story ark of the new warhammer era. This Novel - which does not portray the great events in the 41st millennium - focuses instead on smaller events and by this creates a more intense atmosphere and gives a more in-depth look into warhammer universe. especially the characters in the book are very well portrayed (even more so when they are brought to life by macnaughtons voice - which also compliments the sense of humour of the main character). Very recommendable -
I hope there will be more stories about Noctis
