The second short audio of Guy Haley’s Prophets of Waaagh! collection, Bozgat’s Big Adventure follows on from The End of Daze and sees the titular Bozgat setting off in search of his madboy friend/pet Talker. Accompanied only by the grot Frikk, Bozgat rides out across the dunes and finds his way to a crashed ork ship, where the tracks of a single ork lead. While the cowardly Frikk waits for him outside, Bozgat explores the crashed ship which, upon further examination, appears to be surprisingly devoid of actual orks. Plenty of grots, though…
If you enjoyed The End of Daze you’ll enjoy this, as tonally – and in terms of the audio production – it’s more of the same. It’s tremendous fun listening to Bozgat and Frikk bicker, and Talker spout nonsense (or is it?) about voices which sound a bit like Gork and Mork, and the cast have once again outdone themselves, even if it’s sometimes tricky to tell the unnaturally deep and growly ork voices apart. Narratively it’s also a lot of fun following Bozgat as he slowly works out what’s happening, although it’s a shame this is such a short story as it would have been great to dig deeper into what’s at the heart of the crashed ship. Still, it’s highly entertaining and sets things up nicely for the final instalment.
