About this listen
A Warhammer Crime Story
Tormented by his past, Probator Quillon Drask’s reputation as the go-to detective for strange crimes has led him to the Polaris district of Varangantua. Warring families, corrupt officials, and a monstrous hunger stalk these streets, and Drask must overcome his own inner agonies to bring justice to the tormented city.
Listen to it because
See the world of the 41st millennium from street level, in a grisly crime drama that shines a light on what life is like in the Imperium's rancid underbelly.
The story
'This city eats men....'
Quillon Drask is a haunted man, wrestling with the daemons of his past. With a reputation that draws only the strangest cases, he is intimately familiar with the malevolent underbelly of Varangantua. Yet nothing that has gone before could have prepared the probator for the horrors which now blight the district of Polaris.
Faced with a savage crime with frightening implications, Drask is thrust into a game of corruption and conspiracy, warring families and blasphemous revelations. Only by mastering the bitter lessons of his career and his own tortured past can Drask hope to bring the perpetrators to justice, and curb the monstrous hunger which stalks the city.
Written by Marc Collins. Running time 9 hours 52 minutes. Narrated by Richard Reed.

Flawed horror detective cyberpunk noir
While the plot is engaging and well constructed, the writing strays into overstatement to such extreme degrees it often sounds like it's trying to be a parody of pulp detective stories. Yes, we know your main character is tortured by a dark and troubled past. Yes, we know the city is a harsh mistress. You don't need to write ten paragraphs of tortured metaphore about it every chapter. One for fans of Warhammer Crime who are very patient and don't mind the book's focus on gore. Oh, the narrator certainly gives it his all, so that's a bonus.

Superb melding of genres
The Noir detective novel and the 40K universe, there’s a lot of ways it could go wrong but in this it all goes right.
Not just the gritty cynicism which of course can fit into the Grim Darkness of the 41st millennium setting but also the descriptive language full of mood and analogy, even the pattern of language fits the time-honoured genre. All with a dash of modern crime fiction too. And read to each aspect of style with exceptional skill. Well worthwhile a listen.
