Book 2 of The End Times

When the Emperor is lost, it falls to Reiksmarshal Kurt Helborg to return to Altdorf, capital of the Empire, and prepare to meet the forces of the Ruinous Powers in a final battle for that ancient city.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Not only does this novel chart the apocalyptic battle for the very heart of Sigmar's realm, but it brings back heroes and villains from across the Warhammer mythos and reunites the Empire in a most unexpected way…

THE STORY

The End Times are coming.

With the hordes of Chaos marshalling in the north, Emperor Karl Franz leads his armies in defence of his realm. But when the worst happens, Reiksmarshal Kurt Helborg must return to Altdorf, the capital of the Empire. There, he must steel himself and prepare his soldiers to defend the jewel of the Empire from the corrupted advance of the forces of Chaos.

As plague spreads and the defences weaken, all seems lost—until help arrives from a most unexpected source... if Helborg can bring himself to accept it.

Written by Chris Wraight. Narrated by Andrew James Spooner. Running time 13 hours 18 minutes (approx).

having listened to Nagash, I'm happy to hear what those characters get up to and the impact they have. crazy how powerful the Nurgle army is. Ending was satisfying.

Amazing progression of Age of Sigmar

While the story was fairly good, the performance had issues to me; especially when there was no clear part between passages. When the story jumped, this caused a lot "The fuck"

The Fall of Altdorf is everything Warhammer should be. It is full of tragedy, heroism, and delicate intrigue from all sides of the story. I have no complaints about it at all. An absolute must read for fans of the Old World.

Excellent

The story follows the same layout of randomly switching perspective and location mid chapter, which made it harder to keep up with. i had to rewind a lot. there's a lot of back content, which it just assumes you know, but they don't explain very well, so i had to have a wiki open for a lot of it. the ending makes up for the shortfall, but you could tell the story in a few paragraphs, and you wouldn't be left wanting. otherwise, great narration chatecters are mostly easy to differentiate and the pacing is good.

It got a bit confusing but good
