Summary

An Orks novel

When Ufthak and his orks attack the forge world of Hephaesto, the last thing they want is to share the spoils with the notorious Kaptin Badrukk. But with armies to defeat and loot to seize, Ufthak's boyz might just need Badrukk's help - though that doesn't mean they can trust him....

Listen to it because: get into the heads of a band of orks in the first-ever novel from their point of view. Discover what it takes to be part of the Waaagh! and carve out your own little piece of glory amidst the mayhem in a novel that's brutal, kunnin' - and darkly hilarious.

The story: Ufthak Blackhawk and the green tide descend upon Hephaesto - an Adeptus Mechanicus forge world bristling with loot - only to find it already under siege by the notorious Freebooter Kaptin Badrukk. When his warboss, Da Biggest Big Mek, orders temporary co-operation, Ufthak seeks to make a name for himself by crushing some of the Imperium’s most advanced defenders and claiming the greatest prize. But with a sinister new war machine on the horizon, Badrukk’s plotting and a thoroughly annoying grot in his way, Ufthak is going to need the brutal kunnin’ of Mork himself just to survive.

Waaagh

A great book grasps the tone of the Orks really, having them as aliens rather than big green humans. The Ad Mech POV adds excellent, and often hilarious, context to the whole piece. Thoroughly enjoyable and an excellent addition to the setting.

Grim dark fun!

This book is a rival to the Ciaphas Cain books for sheer fun and humour, I can only hope this is the first of many because I would buy them all

Brilliant

The narrator got the ork accents perfect, English football hooligans, Boyz Boyz Boyz Boyz.

For context games workshop was originally a british company and it based its 40k orks on different English hooligans, football, metal heads, neo nazis, punks etc
Knob heads, which are the orc mob leaders, is a cuss we use in England, it means dick head.

When you listen to this book as an Englishman it's hilarious on lots of levels, the orks all have different English accents and alot of the terms they use are English slang, and there war chants are football songs.
here we go, here we go, here we gooooo

The author captures the ork culture and mindset perfectly, its the single best 40k book in my opinion for it actually creates a story that remains truest to its source and manages to be exciting, funny and constantly surprising at each turn, I really wasn't able to see almost anything coming, unlike 99% of the other 40k books were it's just mindless solders shooting cultists and some faceless person dieing you don't care anything about ending in some do or die last stand they somehow win....

Fantastic book I highly recommend it to everyone who loves 40k and especially to ork fanatics

Excellent voice work

was very pleasantly surprised at the work the narrator put into this, especially enjoyed the way he went through the ork thought process parts, made me chuckle on a few occasions

Love it. Some little downsides tho

Loved and it and would recommend. however, orks are very much comedy based in this book and dont always seem that fearsome, sometimes just sounding like they've got speech issues. however, even though the voice acting isnt for everyone the effort put into it is top notch and it's hard to fault the enthusiasm. overall great time, just approach with caution if you dont have some flexible thinking about what orks sound like

GET DA LOoOOT!

An absolute plast to listne through, I had quite a few laughs through the entire book.
even though the voices of the Orks a a bit "low" it fits perfectly to destinguish them from eachother! So good to hear a war story from the other side of the wars!

ZOGGING GUD!

Great book. bought the book, loved it. bought the audio book, loved it. We need way more Audio books with the Ork point of view.
Only down side is the narrator gave some the Orks a west country accent and kept calling a WAAAAAAAGHHHH! a "WaaaaG" emphasis on the G at the end. But Hay Ho, didn't ruin the book, still did a brilliant job though.
