SCIENCE FICTION AUDIO BOOK REVIEW: Warhammer 40K: Horus Heresy: Galaxy in Flames - Ben Counter, read by Martyn Ellis

Release Date: 02/01/12

SYNOPSIS:

Having recovered from his grievous injuries, Warmaster Horus leads the triumphant Imperial forces against the rebel world of Isstvan III. Though the rebels are swiftly crushed, Horus’s treachery is finally revealed when the planet is razed by virus bombs and Space Marines turn on their battle-brothers in the most bitter struggle imaginable. Ben Counter brings the opening trilogy of this bestselling series to explosive life as the Horus Heresy begins!


REVIEW:

We’re always looking for ways to save not only time but to have a kickass way of doing so. So when we have the opportunity to enjoy an audio book it’s a real joy to be able to sit back and listen to it, whether its to help you get relax or whether its to help use up journey time.

What this five CD (yes that’s right I said five CD’s) audio book does is bring the Horus Heresy to life from the pages of the full length novel published originally in 2006 and gives you a story that will live within the imagination for quite some time to come. Add to this the sheer value for money aspect to this (£20) and the expert reading by Martyn Ellis (who was Tuck in Warner Brothers New Adventure of Robin Hood) and it’s a sheer joy to listen to. Cracking fun for all.
