Summary
The Ghosts of the Tanith First-and-Only have been away from the front line for too long. Listless and hungry for action, they are offered a mission that perfectly suits their talents.
The objective: the mysterious Salvation's Reach, a remote and impenetrable stronghold concealing secrets that could change the course of the Sabbat Worlds campaign. But the proposed raid is so hazardous, it's regarded as a suicide mission, and the Ghosts may have been in reserve for so long they've lost their edge. Haunted by spectres from the past and stalked by the Archenemy, Colonel-Commissar Gaunt and his Ghosts embark upon what could be their finest hour...or their final mission.

Change of narrator, changes everything.
I just couldn't get the same feel of the book or the story without Toby Longworth. It shows me that audible books, the narrator is a huge part of the enjoyment, and success. Hopefully Mr Longworth will reappear with Gaunts Ghosts again soon.

Dan Abnett delivers as always
A great story as always. The narrator did a great job with the various accents for the characters. However I did find it a struggle to begin with, being used to Toby’s usual character voices made it a little difficult to gel with at first.

Great Story as Always
No disrespect to voice actor but if they had only continued with the original one, Toby Longworth?!
It's an okay performance at best, and very jarring to change the voice you've been listening to for the last 10 books!

Another great story - but voices feel wrong.
The narration isnt bad! Just vastly different from the Toby weve all progressed with. James seems like hed be a great narration for something more light hearted, and i fully intend to see some of his other works. But i had to stop on this one alas.
Change in voice. How names are pronounced and general vibe change unsettled this old listener.
I think it best explained as:
Imagine if they subbed out Ironman for one movie and instead of RDJ you got a random young person. Youd not hate it, but would seem odd as hell :)

excellent addition to the series
like it or not, there will always be a struggle when a narrator is changed in a series of audiobooks, while not a downgrade in terms of ability. it was difficult at first to reconcile between the way characters were voiced in this installment and the way they were voiced previously

Great story, dubious performance.
I love the Gaunt's Ghosts series and story wise, this is no exception. The usual rich tapestry of characters old and new, great plot line and extremely well written story we have come to expect from the exceptional Mr Abnett.
Unfortunately, the performance let's it down badly. James McPherson puts in a decent effort, however he falls short of the mark badly in my opinion. Although reasonably varied, the characters lack the definition they deserve. It feels as though he is not familiar with the 40k universe, or at least not with the characters he is narrating. Mad Larkin sounds like the deranged 'wise woman' from Blackadder, Gaunt like a junior lieutenant with none of the power and confidence of a commander. Space marines that sound more like a mentally challenged or illiterate voldermort than the emperors finest. Dan Abnett's writing contains a great deal of detail and description in regards to his characters. When this is ignored in the performance it ruins the whole thing for me.
The rest of the series is superb as usual. Unfortunately this instalment is found wanting.
