Traitor Rock

Warhammer 40,000

By: Justin D Hill

Narrated by: Colleen Prandergast

Audiobook three of the Cadian series

The second book of the Minka Lesk story arc follows on from the story started in Cadian Honour.

Listen to it because

The Cadian 101st, led by Minka Lesk, is taking the fight to the traitors on Malouri. Will their faith and pride keep them fighting or will the meat-grinder siege break them down?

Description

Cadia, 10,000 years a stalwart bastion against Chaos, is broken. Its collapse at the hands of Abaddon and the Thirteenth Black Crusade has fractured the Imperium of Man, and in its wake spreads the seeds of heresy, lies and insurrection. It falls to Cadia’s survivors to fight on, bloodied but unyielding, in the name of the Emperor.

On the world of Malouri, traitorous forces have retreated to the impregnable island fortress of Crannog Mons. After years of stalemate warfare, the task of breaking the siege is given to Minka Lesk and the Cadian 101st, who find themselves fighting a meat-grinder mission that threatens to devour them. In the midst of slaughter, sacrifice and brutal attrition, a question must be answered: what does it mean to be Cadian in a galaxy without Cadia?

Written by Justin D Hill. Audiobook narrated by Colleen Prandergast.

Enjoyed it.

hello all.
I don't write reviews, I have no tounge for it. I do have to say well done on the book, loved the author and narrator. Cadiens are so cool. Thank you both. R.

An absolute blast to listen to!!!

I had my doubts about this book. Although I was a fan of the previous novel, “Cadian Honour”, I felt that Minka Lesk was no more than a side character in the overall story, but this book…. Oh boy. We finally get a proper story focusing mainly on Minka and it was a nonstop action thriller through and through. I can’t wait for the next one no🧢

A series that goes from strength to strength

I’m thoroughly enjoying how this book series has found it’s corner in the Era Indomitus books, individual stories of the Cadians as they find themselves after the Fall of Cadia, exploring an uncaring galaxy where they find themselves going from a lynchpin force to a humiliated and decimated army looking to retain their identity.

Like Hill’s previous Cadian novels, this has an extensive cast, offering different perspectives. ‘Realism’ is a rather nebulous concept when it comes to 40k books, but this has the definite plausibility that the best titles have. The action scenes are great, and the dynamics between the characters are really well presented. It’s also refreshing to see an internecine conflict in the wake of the great rift

I cannot wait for another book in this series, it’s rapidly becoming my favourite.

Great book
