Incarnation... of Black Eagles?

Good afternoon! Another hot and sultry day here in the UK, though you'll here no complaints from me! Having spent the past five weeks recording five audio books and three audio dramas, in air-conditioned and windowless recording studios, I'm just happy to see daylight!

As this crazy phase of recording continues, with the next two weeks devoted to two further audio books and some voice-over work, I'm afraid to say that I'm compelled once again, to be brief with this update. Still, a couple of interesting releases from The Black Library to keep things ticking over - and here are some details:

The Horusian Wars: Incarnation

Book 2 in the Horusian Wars series

Inquisitor Covenant’s quest to stop a sect of renegade Inquisitors continues as he battles to deny their sinister design on an Imperial shrine world wreathed in darkness. As his foes seek to raise a Living Saint, Covenant must do the unthinkable…


 The epic story that began in Resurrection continues as Covenant faces a challenge that will test him body and soul.

Darkness approaches Dominicus Prime, a literal Season of Night that brings with it portents, madness and strange happenings. Standing alone as a beacon against the darkness is the Monastery of the Last Candle, a temple to the holy light of the Emperor. As the bishops and the cardinals vie for power and influence, a crisis looms among the Pilgrim Drift who are starving in their droves. Discord is rife and there are whispers of a rising cult, one committed to blood and horror. Into this political powder keg comes Inquisitor Covenant and his followers. 

Drawn to the shrineworld by the prescience of the Emperor's Tarot, they come seeking the agents of the Triumverate, a sect of Horusians bent on power themselves. It is the belief of Covenant that these radicals seek an incarnation, nothing less than a divine vessel, a living saint. To what end, he can only surmise, but Covenant knows it cannot bode well. He must deny the Horusians at any cost. The fate of the very sector may be determined by it. 

Unabridged audio book written by John French, Produced by Kylia Whitehead & Narrated by me.

Also newly released is this short audio drama, which was great fun to record:

Guns Of The Black Eagle

A Warhammer Age of Sigmar audio short

A mid-air showdown between two Kharadron Endrinmasters turns deadly serious as each uses obscure parts of the Kharadron code – and a fair amount of cheating – to try and achieve victory.


Disputes between Kharadron Overlords sky-captains are common – and some lead to outright conflict. Such is the case as the Black Eagle is bombarded by its sister ship of Barak-Zilfin, the feared Skarskorr's Glory. But this is more than just a battle of arms. The wits of the skyvessels' captains – and their knowledge of the obscure tenets of the Kharadron code – will be tested, and only the most knowledgable, determined and, perhaps, willing to cheat will see victory…


Written by C L Werner & Produced by Matt Renshaw

Performed by John Banks, Steve Conlin & David Seddon

Lots of prep to do now for next week's book, so I'd better wrap up here and get on with it. Thanks for stopping by!

...all for now, more just as soon as it happens!

audio vlog...

Good afternoon!

A very quick posting I'm afraid, as I'm currently in the depths of a, frankly, crazy burst of audio book recording. The original schedule of five audio books in five weeks, has now become seven audio books in seven weeks, along with three audio dramas and some voice over narration.

However, there's always time for a bit of silliness and whimsy and in this 'vlog', instigated by Ladbroke Audio Executive Producer Neil Gardner, here's the first episode of two very tired people talking about audio books 'n' stuff; hope you enjoy...
