About this listen

Book 9 in the Ciaphas Cain series.

Hero of the Imperium, the legendary Commissar Ciaphas Cain, is back in the field, and this time he's facing down both the T'au Empire and the tyranids.

Listen to it because....

Treacherous t'au, terrifying tyranids and the irascible Commissar Cain – it all adds up to a classic tale from the master of Warhammer 40,000 comedy-action.

The story:

When the world of Quadravidia comes under attack by the insidious tau, only one man can defeat the aliens and save the planet in the Emperor's name – the legendary Hero of the Imperium, Commissar Ciaphas Cain. When the aliens call for a ceasefire, Cain expects the worst, and his fears are answered in the form of the dread menace of the tyranids. As a hive fleet approaches Quadravidia, Cain must try to forge an alliance between the Imperium and the t'au – but can he truly trust the inscrutable xenos?

Stephen Perring once again delivers an outstanding performance as Cain in the penultimate novel of the series. Highly recommended for any 40k fan and even those with a casual interest.

If you're a fan of the Cain archive books, you'll love this. Old characters return, new characters appear, and lots of laughs are had as the 41st millennium's most irreverent victim of imposter syndrome deals with another series of horrific crises. Hopefully GW can get Sandy Mitchell to crank out another 10 books!

a silly, gripping romp

SPOILER ALERT (Not big ones but still)
All I can say is it was great, the only issues I have are more of a personal nature I'm really hoping that we have seen the last of gene stealers and Tyranids now I was really excited when the story opened with a conflict with the tau only to find we are back to diplomatic relations so fast I can barely remember the context of the battle. that said as per usual the story and voice over was great just really sick of hearing about bugs.... they are in my opinion without doubt the most dull faction in 40k and to be honest if they come up again I might leave the series unfinished just so the vague memories of orks and necrons allow me to remember it very fondly. Again this is personal not general criticism I wouldn't be so arrogant to suggest I represent anything even close to a majority but there is my 2 cents none the less.

awesome as always thank you audible team and sandy
