Warboss

Warhammer 40,000

De: Mike Brooks

Narrado por: Harry Myers

An Orks Novel

Witness a battle royale between feuding ork bosses in a fight for the position of Warboss – and access to a legendary gate that will help the orks conquer the galaxy.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It’s a raucous and bloody boyz-eye-view of a war for succession between six clans, told with typically orky flair by Mike Brooks.

THE STORY

With only one bastion still standing on the once unconquerable fortress world of Aranua, Warboss Gazrot Goresnappa should be basking in the light of impending victory. Instead, he lies ‘proppa dead’ beneath a decapitated Gargant’s head.

The biggest and baddest bosses from each of the six (no-longer-united) clans step forward to duke it out to become the next warboss – but the ork gods have other plans. A prophecy foretells of a mysterious gate that lies beneath the human city. The one true warboss will be the first to find it, and will use it to turn the galaxy green. Da Genrul of the Blood Axes knows only he is worthy, but it seems Evil Sunz Speedboss Zagnob and Goff Big Boss Mag Dedfist didn’t get the memo. And to add insult to injury, nor did the leader of the grot uprising, the one true prophet of Gork and Mork (or so he claims), Snaggi Littletoof, who seeks to use this opportunity to turn the tide of grot oppression.

Who will the green gods deem worthy?

EXCELLENT 👌

Super fun read. easily the best or novel to date. narrator was superb, loved how we got a thorough 360 view open entire Waugghh.

The best Ork novel to date!

What I've wanted the Ork novels to be as this is 80% told from the Ork perspective and others were closer to 50%. Lots of fun and some great laughs!

Dat was ded good!

Mike Brooks has started to carve out an interesting corner of the 40k universe, as the chronicler of events in one particular WAAAGH!! Writing greenskins, both from the perspective of orks and gretchin, it’s full of action and ork politics (yes really) it’s got eldar and IG, what more do you need! Harry Myers narration was outstanding.

Zoggin Good

If you love da ork den you’ll love diz book!!! Buyz it and readz it you git!!!

loved the voice acting

each voice made the orks more and more enjoyable. plus the comedy in the book was delivered very well

Another Mike Brooks Hit

I am always pleased by Mike Brooks works and this is no exception. Does a good job exploring ork culture, though multiple viewpoint feels like it has to take a more shallow view on the subject.

Narrator does an excellent job with all the various voices, especially the ork ones and the the chapter title reading was a nice surprise.

Ork-tastic

Zoggin good book! give it a listen ya gits!
Voice actor did an awesome job.

The writing style of Mr. brooks I’d perfect for orks

Orks went waaghh a lot and then they krumped. Inspired me to get a weird boy cuz of how well written this one is

Best Ork Story

I’m only on chapter 6, and the story itself is already really fun. But what’s making me write a review now is the narrator, he does ork voices spectacularly, and when he read “Chapter errrrr uh.. Six!” he had me. He knew his job and he’s excelled.

Amazing orc book and extremely talented narrator made this feel like a full cast.

Was skeptical if I'd ever find a good orc book. Other recommendations I've seen on reddit or such, never seemed to have been very reliable. This however definitely was!

This was so much fun and was very small scope making it really easy to follow along.

It followed the well known trend of showing how dangerous the orcs are but their biggest downside is their lack of being able to properly organize and fighting amongst themselves. This did a really good job showing that aspect of orcs.

This was also really funny, lots of dark humor scattered in to break up the fairly straightforward plot. It initially feels like it was kind of lacking focus but I had to remember that it was intentional given that it was dealing with orcs.

I had a lot of fun with this and hope to stumble on more books with orcs, they need more attention then what they get in warhammer books.
