Resumen del Editor

An Astra Militarum novel.

The hero of a series of short stories returns in her first full-length novel – and it's as grim, dark and brilliantly written as you'd expect from Rachel Harrison. Uncompromising and fierce, Commissar Severina Raine has always served the Imperium with the utmost distinction. Attached to the 11th Antari Rifles, she instills order and courage in the face of utter horror. The Chaos cult, the Sighted, have swept throughout the Bale Stars, and a shadow has fallen across its benighted worlds. A great campaign led by the vaunted hero Lord-General Militant Alar Serek is underway to free the system from tyranny and enslavement, but the price of victory must be paid in blood. But what secrets do the Sighted harbour, secrets that might cast a light onto Raine’s own troubled past? Only by embracing her duty and staying true to her belief in the Imperium and the commissar’s creed can she hope to survive this crucible, but even then will that be enough?

Slow start, but do give it a chance!

Kinda want more after the book ends! Great listen, and the narrator is amazing!

Enjoyed this.

New author and narrator for me. The story was epic and well written. Nice change to hear about a female Commissar. I thought Nicolette did a great job narrating 🤷‍♀️ don't understand the criticism.

Commisar

The best Commisar story since Ciaphas Cain. The main difference is this story is far more serious.

Slow start, great finish

A bit rough to get into but once youre in its hard to stop listening.

Great story, narrator was trash

Plenty of narrators struggle with opposite gender voices. But this was terrible to listen to. Some of.the male characters sounded like they had suffered a lung shot for the entire book. Cringe.

An excellent story of a traditional Commisar.

While I love the story and characters, and the narrator's performance was exemplary, I found this book a little bit of a slog. A bit too much of, 'he said, she said' style dialogue made it bothersome. that said, I've seen some of Rachel Harrison's newer stuff and that little problem has been addressed. I do hope to see more of Raine and her Rifles in the future, as I did very much love the characters.

great story

Well written. very entertaining. not as much war as a typical 40k novel that was refreshing

Great book if...

... , if you're okay with single-narrator female-narrator.

Book is FIFTEEN HOURS long, so if it doesn't bother you - it gets better and better the further in it goes... but if female narrators doing male voices ain't your thing, well - its FIFTEEN HOURS long.

Great story, great performance, great example of how black library is picking up better authors to write real books.

Great if you’re a fan of Gaunt’s Ghosts

I would list Honourbound in the better half of 40K fiction. The characters are all enjoyable and the action scenes never feel tedious. The narration was good, but some of the character voices (The Witch for example) could have been better but ultimately I enjoyed it. Hope there’s a sequel.

great book

the story is amazing. but my gods the narriators choice of voice and inflection used for the enemy psycher makes me wish I could have my teeth drilled out instead. it literally ruined the book because it's both unintelligible and grating. ruins an otherwise wonderful book.
