About this listen
Vaults of Terra Book 2
Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl and his acolyte Spinoza face new dangers as the Great Rift opens and a new, bloody age dawns. Can Crowl stay true to his course and expose the horror that lies at the heart of the Hollow Mountain?
Listen to it because...
Discover what happens when Chaos comes to the Throneworld itself for the first time in 10 millennia and agents of the Inquisition must deal with conspiracy even as monstrous daemons are clawing at the door....
The story...
Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl has discovered a terrible plot, its roots firmly planted in the very highest levels of Terra. Pursuing it is fraught with risk, but Crowl’s sense of duty compels him to persevere.
He and his acolyte Spinoza run down their leads in secret, knowing that their every move invites danger, but even as they begin to reveal the truth, a greater peril is unfolding in the skies - the Great Rift is becoming manifest. During the madness that threatens to tear Terra asunder, Crowl’s Inquisitorial base of operations comes under attack and is badly ravaged. As his world begins to unravel and a new, bloody age dawns, can Crowl stay true to his course and expose the horror that lies at the heart of the Hollow Mountain?
Written by Chris Wraight. Total running time 9 hours and 47 minutes. Narrated by John Banks.

Excellent 40k writing
Chris Wraight is a genius writer of 40k stories, this was an incredibly detailed yet well paced, gritty and action packed exploration of the life of an Inquisitor. Really hope cowl and Spinoza are back in future tales. If you're on the fence about Warhammer books listen to this one

Not to bad.
I enjoyed this story as it is about the Inquisition and was based on Terra so very good.

Vaults of Terra - Part 2
Not a stand alone, follows on directly from the first book. I was actually surprised, after the events of the previous title I had assumed this one might be set at some later point in time revolving around another scenario or mystery. But it was a direct continuation of the first, and I'm so glad for it!
The expansion of the setting, characters and themes was fantastic.
Just make sure you read the series in order, this is essential. I am not sure this would be a very good stand alone novel because of the fact it's really just the middle third of what should be a 900 page book. That said it does actually follow a three act structure well like the carrion throne did, so literarily there is no problem with the structure. However, more so than other series I have read, this novel is overly reliant on knowledge of the previous title.
I loved the way that things progressed in this section of the saga, and all the hopes I had for the characters were at least explored. So I was very happy. As I have said before, I think Chris Wraight is a great character writer and John Banks does a great job bringing them to life. He could read any text in one of several voices and I would know which character it was, and I think that's a real talent. Not to speak ill of the dead, but Roy Dotrice (God rest his old bones) had a hard time maintaining consistency with his characters. John, he nails it.
Read it. Love it. Move on to book three.

Excellent story of intrigue and investigation
Great and underrated series.
Much more sophisticated than the usual action-fodder but with good use of action where it is appropriate.

A good instalment that builds from the first book
This is a high quality sequel to what was a good first book. Characters evolved naturally and the events all slot together well. Will be grabbing the third instalment soon.

fun if a bit boring in places
it picks up a bit in the last hour or so (and I would say it's ultimately worth it) but the 5 hours before them draaaaaaaaaaaaaag.
