About this listen
Holy warbringer of the Legio Metalica, the Imperator Titan Casus Belli has routed armies and levelled cities over 10,000 years of service in the name of the Machine God.
As war engulfs the Dark Imperium, this mechanical god of battle arrives to destroy the renegade armies and tech-priests of Nicomedua. At the head of a battlegroup of Titans, Imperial Knights and skitarii, Casus Belli must defeat tainted war engines, Traitor Legionnares and armies of cultists.
While apocalyptic battles rage across the planet, a no less deadly battle unfolds within the Titan itself, as Magos Exasus, leader of the Casus Belli’s Tech-guard, must find and defeat the enemy within before their insidious plans come to fruition.

Solid book. Good performance.
Enjoyed this book from start to finish. Found it a bit slow at one point but it built up brilliantly.

Tense thriller set inside the Mechanicus’ greatest war machine!
On one level this book is an excellent tale of subterfuge and treachery, with plenty of action, almost all taking place within the confines of a single vast war machine, on another it’s a depiction of the cultures, social strata, belief systems of and some of the conflicts within the Adeptus Mechanicus of Forgeworld Metalica and a glimpse at the running of, and a little of life within, a mighty Imperator Titan.
This book gets unfair criticism by some of those who get upset at such things for simply including a non-binary gendered character, those people apparently missing that novels in this franchise have already had an Intersex member of the Mechanicus in a previous trilogy published years ago as well as Gay, Lesbian and Bi characters in a number of novels, so it’s neither surprising nor inconsistent. While not stated directly there’s also clear neuro-diverse traits to the character as well which along with their non-binary gender is handled well by the author without most of the pitfalls that others tend to fall into.
The character is frankly an absolute joy to follow and is now among my most favourite characters in this universe that I’ve been enjoying for more than 30 years! It’s a testament to the author’s skill that the other major characters aren’t overshadowed by this but each character, major and minor, carries their weight through the story and holds interest.
Having first read the book in paper form I was curious about how well the audiobook would manage the story and characters but the performance is excellent and manages to provide a superb and appropriate voice to the various characters that portrays their personalities and experiences far better than I’d hoped. It’s definitely one I’ll be enjoying listening through more than once.
This is a must-listen audiobook, particularly for fans of Forgeworld Metalica, of their Titan Legion (though those after a Titan vs Titan slugfest should note there’s more personal combat than Titan combat in the narrative), of the Adeptus Mechanicus and Warhammer 40,000 universe in general. It definitely deserves a sequel.

For the Omnissah!
Slow but enjoyable.
I found it quite fun to explore the inside of a titan. like a ship. I can see some fun boarding actions being played out, as if I was fighting for my own titan.
would read again.
