Publisher's Summary

A Warhammer 40,000 audio drama boxed set.

The galaxy has changed. The Imperium is divided, and a primarch has returned - and the Ecclesiarchy, the great Imperial church - is close to civil war. Only Saint Celestine -with the aid of Inquisitor Greyfax - can stand in the way of this disaster.

Listen to it because

Two of the biggest heroes of the Dark Imperium - Saint Celestine and Inquisitor Greyfax - join forces to stop one of the most important Imperial organisations from falling into civil war in an epic four-part audio saga starring none other than Catherine Tate!

The story

During the turbulent Reign of Blood, a great schism in the Imperial Ecclesiarchy threatened all of Terra and promised a darkness to rival the terrors of Old Night. Fell times have come again to the Imperium, and a War of Faith appears inevitable. Standing in the way of catastrophe is Celestine, the Living Saint and one of the greatest heroes of the age. Only she can reunite the warring factions of the Ecclesiarchy and prevent a second Reign of Blood. Together with the Inquisitor Greyfax, Celestine and her allies must hunt across the shrineworlds of the Imperium and beyond to root out the evil behind the schism and burn it out with righteous, cleansing flame.

Written by Gav Thorpe.

Performed by Cliff Chapman, Steve Conlin, Andrew Fettes, Matthew Hunt, Toby Longworth, Carla Mendonca, Richard Reed, David Sibley, Ramon Tikaram and Jo Woodcock, with Emma Gregory as Saint Celestine and Catherine Tate as Inquisitor Greyfax.

Excellent Radio Play

I know that Games Workshop have funded a few of these now, but I think that this Radio Play was the best I have heard thusfar.

the actors were amazing, the story fairly standard, not as fleshed out as a novel but when you think about the medium, it isn't really supposed to be fleshed out, so it is actually rather indepth for a Play.

The play itself is 4 parts/chapters, the 5th is actually a discussion of the radio play by the actors. Which was rather interesting to listen to, though I did find myself thinking "how is there another hour of this play?" and so it was a little jarring in that sense, thinking there was more when there really wasn't.

That said it was great all around and the discussion by the actors at the end was actually rather interesting and not something I have seen much of, so I came to think of it as a pleasant bonus instead of an unwanted nuisance.

if you are a fan of 40K, and in particular the inquisition, then I would suggest this. Also this radio play has a lot of lore surrounding the Reign of Blood, and the Age of Apostasy. So if you have an interest in the Ecclesiarchy and the Sisters of Battle/Adepta Sororitas then this is also well worth a listen.
