Audiobook Review - The Interrogation of Salvor Lermentov

Name: The Interrogation of Salvor Lermentov
Series: Vaults of Terra
Published by: Black Library / Games Workshop
Writer: Chris Wraight
Performed by: John Banks & David Seddon

As an audio drama set in the 'Vaults of Terra' series, this is situated just after the first book. While this doesn't add much to the story, it does deal with the fate of one of the side characters. It also is a short statement regarding the current state of the Imperium of man, presented through a charged conversation between two men with very different opinions. 

Salvor Lermentov was one of the interesting side characters of ' The Carrion Throne' and Inquisitor Cowl was my favourite character in the book. So, despite the predictable direction of their meeting and the equalling predictable outcome, it was fun to hear them talk. Some more insights into the backstory of Lermentov were presented here, as well as the origins of his motivation. 

The performance by John Backs and David Seddon were great. I liked the emotionally charged arguments and the background music also added to the overall enjoyment. Their pronunciations were quite clear and understandable. 

This was a fun experience that should reinvigorate readers' interest in the future books of the series. Despite its short length and this not being essential for understanding the series it was a fun experience nonetheless. 

3.5 out of 5 stars from me.
