The Black Library seems to have gotten bang into audiobooks of late. This is the most recent and also one of the better ones.Garro is the Death Guard marine who escaped from Istvaan on board the Eisentstein to warn the Emperor of Horus' rebellion.
I loved Swallow's Flight of the Eisenstein. It was a proper sci-fi romp full of ott battles and ridiculosly huge guns and it's good to see them bringing Garro back. Here he seems to be on a recruiting mission - probably for the Grey Knights - and finds himself on Calth looking for an Ultramarine Librarian. It's a short listen but fun nonetheless. The writing is solid and the dialogue is, as ever, stilted and pompous but that's part of the appeal. I've read a few of Swallow's books now and he usually delivers the goods.
