Publisher's Summary

A Carcharodons audiobook.

With a millennia-long hunt close to its end, Carcharodons Chaplain Manu must redouble his efforts as he ventures into the nightmare city of Commorragh.

Listen to it because: this is your chance to learn more about the secretive savages of the Carcharodons Astra as they tangle with some of the most terrifying predators in the galaxy...almost as terrifying as themselves.

The story: in the darkness beyond the galaxy, there are monsters. Some swim closer to the light, drawn by the beacon that is the Astronomican, while others stalk the Void, predators in the dark. The Carcharodons have hunted for millennia, but now they are drawn into a new blackness...the Dark City of the drukhari itself. Commorragh.

For a thousand years, Chaplain Tangata Manu has searched for a relic lost under his watch - an ancient thing, once charged into the keeping of the Forgotten One himself. But at the brink of seeing his hunt fulfilled and the relic returned, it is stolen from under him. Now, if Tangata would see his honour restored, he must lead his hunt against some of the vilest predators the galaxy has ever seen, before they can turn the artefact to their own purposes....

Written by Edoardo Albert. Narrated by Gareth Armstrong.

author is genuine.. but story is a little cliche

The story finale is a predictable cliche full of missed opportunities, but the author manages to project a bit of humanity into a universe that centers around inhuman monsters.

In saying that, his charactors are rare outside of HH for his telling of inhuman individuals that are so obsessed with doctrine and personal oaths that they fail to remember where they come from and what they fight for.
Narrator is excellent but this was NOT his scene, between poorly pronounced names, poor editing and a voice that belongs more to Lovecraftian horror than action he fails to bring gravitas to rich characters.
My biggest quibble though goes to (Not)-Hodor, a character that, well at least in my opinion, gets a little on the wrong side of homage.. but full marks to the only other human character that really injects relatable humanity into the story.

TLDR- though the characters are excellent the story falls flat, the narrator fails to bring them to full life. Yet I would gladly listen to both narrator and author as there lies alot of potential in each of their abilities in future.
