Publisher's Summary
A Death Korps Audiobook
Vraks is an armoury world that is vital to the struggling Imperium and its efforts to resist the wider threats to humanity. The planet is a key link in the long supply chain that keeps the beleaguered Imperial regiments stationed around the Eye of Terror and ready for war.
The stoic Death Korps of Krieg have been assigned to this desperate world's defence. The grim soldiers of this regiment are born to serve the Emperor, as below Krieg’s irradiated surface is a human factory, existing only to produce soldiers destined for the front line in the Imperium’s most toxic and gruelling warzones. These indoctrinated soldiers are unflinchingly loyal and willing to sacrifice themselves without question or regard to ultimately win victory.
And they will need all these qualities to face the horrors awaiting them on Vraks…
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
Understand just how the Death Korps of Krieg have earned their reputation as the Imperium’s most ruthless fighters in this gripping tale of desperate defence and defiant loyalty. Even when all seems lost, new ways to survive and fight are unearthed, as an officer named Tyborc, expecting to die, finds a new way to live.
THE STORY
Vraks has fallen.
Mustering an army from the ranks of the Death Korps of Krieg, the Astra Militarum embarks on a long and desperate siege to save the planet from the madness of an apostate preacher. It will last seventeen years, cost the lives of millions, and attract the attention of daemons and heretics alike, but the Death Korps must claw back victory, inch by bloody inch, from the hands of the enemy.

An excellent story of a well known event.
Far too short. Does jump over some large timeline pretty quickly. Humanises the krieg soldiers really well

Read Dead Men Walking instead
This book would have been a hard task to write, as the siege of Vraks was a huge campaign lasting over a decade, so maybe this book should have been done in two or even three books. As it is this story feels very rushed, brushing over massive amounts of important factors, and the end result is feeling like I've read bullet points. The worst part of this story for me, however, is the fact it tries to humanise the Krieg. The author gives them names, and even goes as far as having some of the characters having feelings like remorse or nostalgie, etc. If you know your Krieg, you'll know they only live to fight for the emperor. Nothing else is important. Not their name, definitely not their personal feelings. This books attempts to take them from vat born clones devoid of human emotion to making them too human at times, feeling sorry for themselves. All in all, if you're looking for a definitive version of the Krieg, go with Dead Men Walking instead. And if you are after a good telling of this particular siege then pick up the imperial armour books or hit up youtube, there's plenty better tellings of this battle.
