About this listen

Audiobook five of the Ciaphas Cain series

On Periremunda, the populace are rioting. With local forces unable to contain the widespread civil disorder, Commissar Cain and his regiment of Valhallans are called in to help....

Listen to it because:

An unruly populace, enemies at work behind the scenes, and the presence of an inquisitor (the one who puts the footnotes in the Cain Archives no less!) - it all adds up to trouble for Cain, doesn't it? And fun, of course.

The story:

On Periremunda, the populace are rioting. With local forces unable to contain the widespread civil disorder, Commissar Cain and his regiment of Valhallans are called in to help. However, it seems there is more to the rebellion than first appeared, and Cain suspects sinister forces at work behind the scenes. When the commissar is reunited with Inquisitor Amberley Vail, it seems his fears are realised. In this the fifth book in the popular Ciaphas Cain series, our hero is thrown into a deadly conspiracy that even he might not be able to emerge from alive.

Written by Sandy Mitchell. Narrated by Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins, Emma Gregory, Richard Reed, Tara Rawson and Andrew James Spooner.

Story and performance to the normal high standard. However, the recording jumped several time. I don’t know if this is an issue with my device or the audiobook itself

Excellent addition to the series

Loved it. As usual. The adventures of blackadder and baldrick..... I mean Cain and Jurgen never fail to disappoint. Fast becoming one of my favorite 40k series. Story is great but the performance really is top notch. Love Amberleys notes dotted in throughout

Funny as f#*k

Whilst perhaps the most complex Ciaphas Cain plot in the series this far, the whole thing feels like a diluted, comical version of Gaunt's Ghosts meets Eisenhorn/Ravenor/Bequin. This isn't necessarily a bad thing - if you want an enjoyable ride where you don't have to think too much, it serves a purpose. I'd recommend reading the epic ending, that is the last chapter, whilst listening to To Glory from Two Steps From Hell on repeat. There are multiple voice actors in this, each of which perform very well, making it a top quality production.

as always a well read and acted story by the cast. An enjoyable slice of the grim dark with just a nice light hint of comedy.

as always a ripping yarn from the grim dark!!
