Will make you want to paint a chapter of them...

Hands down the best Spacemarine story I’ve heard so far. Great characters, a story that comes full circle and room for it to go further. The narration is superbly performed my Toby Longworth (loved him in Eisonhorn series).
I’m gonna build and paint me some Brothers of the Snake! 👍🏻

Great successor chapter book!

Dan Abnett and Tony longworth combo books are the best I’ve listened too! This a great story for successor chapter with interesting characters and relevant connecting plot. The voice acting is brilliant allowing the reader to easily differentiate between characters so the listener doesn’t get lost as the book is read out!

Best Space Marine book yet.

Abnett is a truly talented author who has a fantastic ability of being able to write and create stories in the 40k world which could be appreciated by many readers and listeners who are not fans of the lore.

Brothers of the Snake offered the most genuine insight into the mindset and trials of a Space Marine I’ve read thus far without falling into the stereotypical cheesey “FOR THE EMPERORRRRRRR!” Yelling, Bolter wielding heretic gore affair we are used to.

I can only hope Abnett continues to write something further on the journeys of the Iron Snakes.

A book any fantasy or sci fan fan will really enjoy.

Can not recommend highly enough.

Dan Annett knocks it for six again

As with anything his pen touches Dan Annett knocked this out of the park and Toby Longworth was a fantastic narrator for his words.

As far as 40k books go, it was quite decent.

Humanized space marines bring flavour to your audio book as does the mythos it builds.

Makes me want to paint some brothers or the snake.
