About This Audiobook

John French's 'Mortis' is a pulse-pounding addition to the Warhammer 40,000 universe, where the Imperial forces face their darkest hour. This isn't your typical space opera; it's a grim, unflinching look at war and its consequences. French's prose is as sharp as a power sword, and Jonathan Keeble's narration brings it to life with a guttural, gravelly tone that perfectly captures the brutal, unforgiving world of the 41st millennium. What sets this audiobook apart is its unyielding focus on character, even amidst the galaxy-spanning conflict. It's not just about the battles, but the people fighting them.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Jonathan Keeble's narration is a standout feature of 'Mortis'. His voice, like thunder rumbling in the distance, adds a sense of foreboding to every scene. He masterfully differentiates characters, from the gruff, battle-hardened veterans to the young, wide-eyed recruits. French's writing is visceral and unapologetic, which can be a bit much for some listeners, but if you're looking for a story that doesn't pull its punches, this is it. The pacing is relentless, with battles and intrigue unfolding at a breathless pace. However, some listeners might find the world-building a bit overwhelming at times, with a plethora of terms and factions that can be difficult to keep track of. Overall, 'Mortis' is a gripping, intense listen that will appeal to fans of grimdark science fiction and military fans looking for a unique, action-packed experience.
