Story
Commissar Ciaphas Cain is a renowned and revered hero of the Imperium, a man who has faced and survived some of the vilest creatures the universe can throw at him. But when he is sent to a river-world, he must deal with a dangerous enemy, an enemy whose true identity remains unknown. As his vessel traverses the straits of the planet, Cain must uncover the face of this new foe so that he can understand and escape it. Caught in the enemy crossfire, the commissar has no place to run and his nerve will be tested to the very limits.

The Imperial Guard are the backbone of the Imperium’s military strength. While the Space Marines get all the glory, it’s the guard that holds back the tide of threats that would soon drown the Imperium by sheer weight of numbers. These audio dramas bring you into their tanks, platoons and trenches to see how ordinary men and women face the horrors of the 41st Millennium.

Rather than shoring up the meagre existing defences, the Catachans elect to go on the offensive and retake the strategically vital Outpost Four. In the process, they are saddled with the sole survivor of the outpost's fall—the barely trained Trooper Torvin, of the Skadi Second Infantry.

Publisher's Summary
Ciaphas Cain returns! As the tyranids ravage the jungle moon on which he is stationed, the Hero of the Imperium must do the unthinkable and ally with the sinister dark eldar.

The world is uninhabited, but must be protected to prevent the tyranid advance threatening several nearby systems. The situation goes from bad to worse when Cain and the Catachans run into a force of insidious xenos, and the two factions are thrown into a temporary alliance purely to survive.
Can Cain defeat the tyranids and survive the deadly intentions of their dark allies?
Only time can tell!

Not what I was expecting
This sounds more like a theater play than an audiobook. The background music was distracting, and the story is not narrated by Stephen Perring.Its also extremely short, and not worth a whole credit. I can see what they were trying to do, but it didn't work.

Such a shame.
Very over-acted for me. I'd gotten used to Perrings' understated roguish very human performance. I had genuinely enjoyed the previous three audio books. This was replaced by the very inhuman performance of Toby Longworths' clipped baritone Space Marine. I also missed the familiar yap of Jurgen which for some reason was replaced by somebody from the east riding of Yorkshire! It was just generally jarring.
It was also monstrously short for the price but I suppose that's just typical GW grabberery... Won't be listening to the others

A different take on Ciaphas Cain
This version of Cain is read very differently to the main books. Personally I find it a less appealing take, or perhaps more cynically, a miscast. Toby Longworth is a brilliant narrator, but Cain played as an uptight Commissar doesn't appeal when he already exists as a more aloof and sardonic character.
