About this listen
Book one in the Bequin series.
Listen to it because:
It's an intriguing and evocative story that shows characters you know and love through new (yet strangely familiar) eyes, forging a stunning mystery that will leave you astonished.
The story:
In the city of Queen Mab, nothing is quite as it seems. Pariah, spy and Inquisitorial agent Alizebeth Bequin is all of these things and yet none of them. An enigma, even to herself, she is caught between Inquisitors Gregor Eisenhorn and Gideon Ravenor, former allies now enemies who are playing a shadow game against a mysterious and deadly foe. Coveted by the archenemy, pursued by the Inquisition, Bequin becomes embroiled in a dark plot of which she knows not her role or purpose. Helped by a disparate group of allies, she must unravel the secrets of her life and past if she is to survive a coming battle in which the line between friends and foes is fatally blurred.

Dan Abnett, brilliant as usual!
Another brilliant read from Dan Abnett. May as well rename him Rumpel at this stage as the man spins nought but gold.

Voice work
It's a bit jarring with the change in voices. It would have been better to have both Helen Keeley and Toby Longworth do the reading. Black Library does this with the Ciaphus Cain books so they could have easily done it with this one, especially since it is an Abnett book. Also not sure if Keeley listened to the previous books, pronunciation of names has changed as well as how certain characters are presented (poor Patience Kys sounds evil like a witch). On the other hand, the continuation of the saga itself is really good, as I expect of Dan Abnett.

So many threads of chaos
Eisenhorn was the series that introduced me to the 40K universe and the outstanding talent of Dan Abnett. Like most fans of the Ravenor / Eisenhorm epics, we have been waiting with baited breath for the final show down.
Pariah does not disappoint fans. It is packed to the hilt with uh-ha moments, violence and all too human, and inhuman, characters that made the previous books so loved.
But I suspect the book suffers for this too. It demands a large degree of prior knowledge, else the read will be left lurching from one chaotic situation to the next. While the main character is thrust into a daunting world of confusion, it's not the best place for a reader to be. Hence the 4 star, not 5 rating.
Of you are thinking of picking up this book, I strongly recommend grabbing the Eisenhorn trilogy, the Ravenor trilogy and also the brilliant collect of short stories, The Magos, before diving into the rich and at times nightmarish world of Pariah.

I can't get enough of this story , go Abnett.
Great to see the ravener/eisenhorn story continue, I'm also really enjoying the narrators voice and hearing it from A Bequin perspective...i can say no more. If you liked ravenor and eisenhorn you will like this

excellent
Just finished listening to the series for the third time and I always felt that the previous books felt unfinished or the ending was rushed and lazy. But this book is great and starts answering questions without killing the mystery. THANK DAN YOUR THE MAN
