The first book introduces Eisenhorn as a staunch, by-the-book puritan. He investigates a secret society known as the Glaw family and uncovers a plot involving alien technology (the xenos of the title). Xenos sets the stage with high-octane action and introduces Eisenhorn’s colorful retinue of helpers, including the pilot Aemos and the mercenary Alisebeth Bequin.

Xenos: The introduction of Gregor Eisenhorn as he tracks a dangerous heretic, leading to the discovery of a vast conspiracy. Publisher/rights-holder review; revisions
One fan review sums it up: “I’ve listened to the Horus Heresy, Gaunt’s Ghosts, and the Siege of Terra. Eisenhorn is better because it is smaller. One man. One ship. One voice. Toby Longworth made me cry when [SPOILER] died.”
The second novel jumps forward in time. Eisenhorn is older, more cynical, and higher in rank. The story focuses on a conspiracy within the Inquisition itself—a "thaumaturgic" plot involving rogue psykers and traitorous Space Marines. This is where the moral lines begin to blur. To catch a heretic of this magnitude, Eisenhorn begins to employ methods that border on heresy himself, utilizing forbidden lore and dangerous artifacts.
However, reading Dan Abnett’s seminal text with your eyes is one thing. Experiencing the Eisenhorn Omnibus Audiobook is something else entirely. Thanks to the production wizardry of Black Library and the peerless narration of Toby Longworth, this audio production transforms a great sci-fi novel into an immersive, visceral masterpiece.
