Eisenhorn and Ravenor in a new double cd audio dramaThe Inquisition is the most powerful and secretive organisation within the Imperium. Its agents, the Inquisitors, are the last line of defence for mankind. Gregor Eisenhorn, dedicated servant of the Inquisition, takes to the field again in three audio dramas. Regia Occulta finds him on a world wracked by ethereal storms and haunted by a terrifying beast. In Master Imus’s Transgression, the Inquisitor investigates the mysterious affair of a mild-mannered clerk who confesses to a crime. Gideon Ravenor, once Eisenhorn’s pupil, is now crippled and confined to a life support chair. He uses his powerful psychic talents to enact the Emperor’s will. When he receives a mysterious message, Ravenor and his loyal followers travel to a distant world where they battle fierce cultists. But what are the cultists looking for? And what is the meaning of the message: Thorn Wishes Talon?
Three audio tales - two I hadn't heard before and one I have in an anthology - featuring Eisenhorn in all of them and Ravenor in the last.
The stories deal with Eisenhorn as a young man. In the first he's still an Interrogator investigating a possible chaos manifestation at an antique dealers. It's a groovy little tale of the callous nature of the Inquisition.
The second has him on one of his first Inquisitor missions discovering the reasons behind a rash of murders in a backwater town. It's a bit simple but fun nonetheless.
The final story is the meeting between teacher and pupil that warns the latter about the events that are going to unfold in the Ravenor series. It's an excellent little short.
As always Abnett's tales are great fun and it's cool to revisit some characters I hadn't seen in a while. All are well acted and it made for some real good reading.
