Brilliant Story

An eventful look into another world within the Imperial Guard - The Penal Legion. Fun, thrilling and addictive.

A 40k classic, well written, well narrated.

I look forward to seeing more from both Guy Haley and Tom Turner on Audible. Excellent action writing and a suitable narrator.

a great and heartbreaking story

this novel was a terrifying glimpse into what it's like to be in the lowest rung of the Imperium of man

Incredible journey

There is nothing like an old book getting a new spotlight. This is not just worth a listen, but may be one of the better demonstrations of what guardsman can be in a galaxy where there is only war.

One of the classics.

This is one of the books that got me in to 40K. Great flawed characters. Classic 40K.
