Volpone Glory

Warhammer 40,000

De: Nick Kyme

Narrado por: Andrew Wincott

A Sabbat Worlds novel.

We will make our own history, and all other accounts be damned.

Listen to it because...Volpone Glory covers the exploits of the soldiers of the 50th Volpone of the Royal Volpone Regiment. Their ranks are filled with proud and arrogant soldiers who come from the noble families of Volpone, earning them the name 'Bluebloods' among the Astra Militarum. Nick Kyme breathes life and humility into the members of this otherwise supercilious regiment as they battle against impossible odds.

The story: as war rages across the Sabbat Worlds, the Volpone Bluebloods are sent to Gnostes at the head of a massive Imperial host. Tasked with the liberation of the Agria island chain from the entrenched Blood Pact, the haughty soldiers of the Volpone find their mettle sorely tested in a brutal meat grinder. After a punishing setback threatens to derail the campaign, an unlikely champion rises through the ranks and victory once again seems possible. But the propaganda of war is a fickle beast, and the Archenemy are cultivating a plot the Imperium can scarcely fathom. Through glory and honour, the Volpone are desperate to prevail, but can they endure the rigours of the bloodiest campaign in their vaunted history and come out the other side intact?

Written by Nick Kyme, narrated by Andrew Wincott.

You hate them and you love them

This is my first review of a book that I’ve listened too and I have about 100 titles or so just in the Warhammer 40k section. This has been by far my favorite and I’m not even an Imp guy aside from the Ghosts. Despite other reviews I found it easy to follow, continuously engaging and surprising and the narrator was great. I would highly recommend this title. The Volpone are easy to root for and easier to hate.

Great book, but there is a one glaring question

Where is Infernus, Nick. It said that Circle of Fire will be continued in the Infernus.

As for the book itself it was interesting to see events from the Volpones POV. Maybe we will have thouse Sabbat Crusade anthology books in audioform.

Character arcs, intersecting: a cut above the norm

What a great book! by the end it was a gripping page turner I didn't want to end. The characters, how they were built up and how they interacted throughout the middle and end was awesome. Great character arcs and interactions between them. honestly, we don't get that kind of quality, or at least I haven't seen it very much, writing in Warhammer 40k novels. I'm hoping for more just like this!

I think this is personal taste, but I like the voice actors voice - much gravitas very talent - yet it was a bit slow? I put the book on 1.35X speed and made sure my bass boost headphones setting was off because he already has plenty, and it was perfect.

well done Nick and Andrew!

I loved it

Having been a long time fan of the Guant's Ghosts series it was really refreshing to get some insight into their biggest rivals

Best 40k book so far

I’ve listened to all of the heresy novels, all the terra novels, war of the beast ect… this is by far my favorite book so far.
