Fell is the Hand of Darkness, a relic of great evil. Seeking to rob the powers of Chaos of this relic and bend fate to the favour of order, Yvraine of the Ynnari and the mysterious yet deadly Visarch lead a host of Aeldari on a quest to steal it. To reach it, however, they must first beseech the aid of the Black Library. Only then will Yvraine and her warriors have even the slightest chance to slip through the Garden of Nurgle and from there to the Plague Planet and the Whispering Tower of Mortarion, where the Hand of Darkness surely resides.

Skip these shorts with the ensemble casts. The production is horrible, making the story all but incomprehensible.

Horrendous production
Revisado: 12-09-24
I have no idea whether this is a good story or not. The “yelling into a garbage can” voice acting makes it completely unlistenable. Glad it was so inexpensive.

The Howling Banshees of Biel-Tan wage war in the depths of a Chaos-tainted craftworld. Blood Runs. Anger Rises. Death Wakes. War Calls. And failure is unthinkable....

The production on this made it impossible to understand. I actually have no idea what was being said half the time.

The Great Crusade that has taken humanity into the stars continues. The Emperor of Mankind has handed the reins of command to his favoured son, the Warmaster Horus. Yet all is not well in the armies of the Imperium. Horus is still battling against the jealousy and resentment of his brother primarchs, and when he is injured in combat on the planet Davin, he must also battle his inner daemon. With all the temptations that Chaos has to offer, can the weakened Horus resist?

11 hours of, what, exactly?
Revisado: 10-15-24
I guess I owe this title some thanks for convincing me I didn’t need to listen to any more of the umpteen volumes in the Horus Heresy series. Absolute snoozer, full of characters who somehow have the depth of a puddle in spite of the fact that they’ve lived hundreds of years. I’ll stick to fan wikis and podcasts (which have the added benefit of being free) to get what I need of the lore.

Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

Disappointing narration
Revisado: 09-30-24
Listened with our son. The story is average “young adult” fare - neither great nor terrible, with several record-scratch moments in the plot which seemed to replace what could have been half of a chapter with a quick sentence to hurry the story along. We found ourselves asking each other whether we’d missed something important only to rewind 20-30 seconds and find that there was a quick transition at the end of a chapter which seemed to jump over a chunk of plot. I’m not sure whether or not this is an abridged version of the story.
Our least favorite part of the experience was the narration. It felt as though the narrator may have been reading the story for the first time. The flow and inflection of many passages were very distracting, and the voices of the various characters very seldom matched the narrative description of those voices. For example, the narrator would use the same tone and inflection for voicing everything from a tense whisper to a bellicose war cry. The elder gods were also voiced in a very silly manner - a slow, deep, overly-enunciated voice in a clumsy British-ish accent for the big gods and nasally almost sniveling for some of the lesser gods and heroes.
The final rating is based on my son’s reaction to the question, “What do you think - wanna get the next one in the series?” “Nah, let’s find another universe to explore.” My thoughts exactly, kid.
