Red & Black (Audio drama)
The Story
The Ecclesiarchy is the great church of the Imperium. Founded on the worship of the God-Emperor of Mankind, it guards the sanctity of the Imperial Creed and protects the celestial truth of the Emperor’s divinity. Its ideals are enforced by the bolters and flamers of the Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas – the Sisters of Battle. After two millennia, the warp storms raging around the Hollos star system have abated, allowing the isolated planet of Hollos to reconnect with the Imperium. When a mysterious messenger contacts the Orders Militant, Celestian Miriya must travel to Hollos and pass judgement on the world. Will she find a world embracing the Emperor’s truth or one in need of cleansing? Her decision will liberate or condemn an entire planet.

Was it the right thing to do?
Rated 4 out of 5 by Brian
I felt that Miriya's voice actor was a bit too girly in the first half of the drama, but towards the end, she became the badass we know and love. The story is really interesting, and really shows how hard it is for one to make the greatest choice of all. It has a nice Stargate Sg-1 feel too it, if SG-1 was fascist and had the power to condemn an entire planet. I highly recommend it! P.S. You'll love the Mechanicum character.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael
My first attempt at an audio drama or audio book for that matter. I was pleasantly surprised. The voice work was outstanding.
Gripping from start to finish
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lawrence
I was hooked right from the start of the CD , this is my 4th audio drama and I have to say my favourite one so far and i agree with Brian the Mechanicum character is great
Great story, solid narration
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kevin
I wasn't sure I was going to like the female narrator (or anyone narrator not named Toby), but she did an excellent job. I loved the story and the execution. It is definately worth checking out.
This is GrimDark
Rated 4 out of 5 by Erik
I had hoped for a good ending for the world, but that would not be 40K. :) The result was not as dark as I suspected it would be, but it is still dark and horrible. I also agree with Brian. The Mechanicum character is awesome. The only complaint I have is that the volume varies throughout the production, and often will go back and forth between too loud and too soft within a conversation.
1st audio
Rated 5 out of 5 by RIFAULT
Awesome! It's my first Audio and i'm falling in love, voices are motivated, the speaking is great and music's ambiance is very good during all the CD. A must have for fans of Battle Sisters like me.
Loved it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Crystal
As my first 40k audiobook, it took me a while to get used to accepting the accents/voices. A few giggles ensued. However, I was quickly hooked and found the characters and story (although a little predictable) absolutely enthralling! From this excellent audio drama, I then went on to read the books of the same series, and I now am such a huge fan. I would highly recommend this audiodrama whether you’re a Battle Sister fan or not. Fingers crossed for more!
