Publisher's summary

A Baggit and Clodde Novel

A ratling and an ogryn aren't the best-matched pair, but in the crime-ridden heart of Varangantua, anything goes—at least, when there's a big score to be had.

Listen to it because

This is first full-length novel featuring the characters Baggit and Clodde from the audio drama Dredge Runners. Follow the duo as they hunt for a treasure that could answer all of their problems.

The story

Baggit is the fast-talking ratling with an eye for the big score. Clodde is the ogryn with a heart of gold and a head full of dreams. These abhuman deserters-turned-criminals operating in the city of Varangantua have crossed the wrong man for the last time—and now they’re on the run…

At least, that is, until Baggit learns of a score that could pay their debts and save their skins—the Wraithbone Phoenix, a fabled treasure rumoured to be hidden aboard a voidship recently scheduled for decommission. But Baggit and Clodde aren’t the only ones with eyes on the prize. When word gets out, every thief in the Dredge is going to be gunning for the Phoenix. Does Baggit have the cunning to find the treasure and get out alive, or will someone finally cash in the bounty on his head?

One of the Best

Alec Worley blew this out of the water! Captivating story, characters that I got attached to, all woven together in an captivating story that's a must for any Warhammer fan. The story kept me guessing at every turn. Multiple pov jumps can be a bit distorting, but a 30 second rewind cleared things up. Hope Alec has more Warhammer books in the works.

Harry Myers also performed outstandingly. He took an excellent book at took it to even better hights. He gave each character an unique voice that helped keep everyone separate. I hope Harry narrates more Warhammer books.

A great story all the way through. It is nice to get a story involving rattlings and ogryns.

A Fun Time!

Ever since I listened to the audio drama of Baggit and Clode "Dredge Runners" I've wanted a full book of these guys. When I heard about this coming out, I had to get it. While I feel the ending with one of the characters is pretty unsatisfying and needlessly grim, I feel the rest of it was worth listening to.
Baggit and Clodde are a pair of AbHuman Imperial Guard deserters who have a price on their heads after a job went south. Now they are after a special Eldar Artifact called the Wraithbone Phoenix to get the price paid off. However, when one idiot in over his head spills the beans, every crook in the Dredge district of Varangantua wants it and Baggit and Clodde's bounty.
Along the way we get character development for Baggit and a nice string of action with an almost satisfying ending. I recommend this one.

One of the best black library titles ever

I absolutely loved this book. It’s funny, but not too silly, it’s got memorable characters that are incompetent, cunning, tragic and amusing in equal parts. The plot is solid and the action is snappy, but not so frequent as to be exhausting. Absolutely recommended!

Awesome Tale with a Social Overtones

Wonderfully written piece of 40K fluff. As a minority I have lived with implied strictures of Christian faith that I am abhorrent but I am forgiven by the Devine. This book resonates that life long burden and how to cope with it. Wonderful piece here! Thank you for a different perspective in the 40k universe.

Great Addition to Warhammer Crime

This is a great story richly describing the world's of abhumans in the Warhammer universe. It is funny, a good detective novel, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Easy listen and fun throughout

Definitely the least grim-dark of the 40k books I have listened to so far, but that didn’t detract at all from the story, characters, humour, or incredible voice work.

You won't be disappointed

I will have to look for more books narrated by Harry Myers.
Was totally worth the time and money.
