    My first exposure to John Grammaticus was in The First Heretic.
    In the middle of an extremely bleak, dramatic and dark audiobook, suddenly in comes some American guy who reveals he's a spy to Sairene, a space marine finds him and SETS HIM ON FIRE.
    And this guy starts making jokes about how he's never been burned to death before.
    Such a massive tonal shift and that voice really makes it bizarre.

    Worse, I'm sure they are planning some awful reveal with him. He's either a lost Primarch or Judas Iscariot who later we find out is a perpetual who lost his mind.
