About this listen

Book 2 of the Ciaphas Cain series.

When Commissar Ciaphas Cain and his regiment of Valhallan Guardsmen are deployed to the ice world of Simia Orichalcae, his expectation of an uneventful tour of duty is suddenly interrupted.

Listen to it because:

While his Valhallan regiment are happy on an ice world, Cain's biggest concern is freezing to death...until orks start attacking, and then an ancient threat emerges from the depths. Stuck between two enemies, Cain needs to stop playing the hero and actually be one.

The story:

On the ice world of Simia Orichalcae a spate of mysterious disappearances is causing unrest amongst the mine workers, and, as senior officer of the Astra Militarum, Commissar Ciaphas Cain is nominated to investigate. Unbeknownst to him, the planet is right in the path of a major ork incursion, and, as the savage greenskins attack, a malevolent evil begins to stir deep in the ice caves.

Written by Sandy Mitchell. Narrated by Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins and Emma Gregory.

Fantastic narration and voice acting.

Story was strong and I like the direction the. Ciaphus novels take (in terms of not everyone being a radical religious fanatic all the time). the only criticisms I could give are the length of the story and would have loved to build more suspense towards the necron incursion. making them far more mysterious and sinister.

A fantastic (though unfortunately short) story!

Plenty of fun with the continuing adventures of Cain. Plenty of action, problem solving & amusing moments.
The series is very easy going & more accessible then other 40k universe military sci-fi. Good for young adult & older audiences.
Great work with the performers (as you can expect from most Black Library books).
Only grip is that it felt a little rushed at the end. Not as good as the first book (or others in the series) but still entertaining. The inspiration from the Flashman novels is good fun being applied to what is usually a pretty humourless universe in 40k stories (more interested in fighting then the interaction stuff). But it’s still good bubble gum.

Good fun & not heavy mil sci-fi

Fantastic

Another entertaining Warhammer story, it was a good plot with great characters. The only thing that really annoyed me was the love interest again, I honestly don't see the need; it took away from the overall story.
