About this listen

Book 2 in the Farsight series.

The T'au Empire has long been plagued by the brutal orks—and Commander Farsight will see them destroyed. As his obsessive war against the greenskins escalates, other forces are at work, driving Farsight to an encounter that will change his view of the universe, the T'au Empire...and himself.

Listen to it because....

Discover the real story behind the defining moment of Commander Farsight's lif—and witness his struggles as he is torn between the Greater Good and a hideous truth about the nature of the galaxy.

The Story:

High Commander Farsight, fresh from his victory against the Imperium over the Damocles Gulf, looks to his borders and finds his old enemies—the savage and warlike orks—threatening to ravage the heart of the T’au Empire. Farsight’s obsessive crusade soon sees him locked in an escalating conflict with the greenskins, yet the hero of the Fire Caste will stop at nothing until their infestation is purged.

Foul forces are at work in the shadows, however—forces that will do whatever they can to see Farsight's military genius fall upon the daemon-haunted world of Arthas Moloch. Can Farsight stand in the face of the terrible truths he discovers there, and will the T’au Empire stand with him?

Written by Phil Kelly. Narrated by Andrew Wincott and Helen McAlpine. Running time 13 hours 3 minutes (approx).

Overall a very good story. One interesting to learn.
However, the word 'perfect' is used too often, which distracted me. I realize the Tau strive for perfection, but it can be portrayed without using that word so often.
Also, some minor errors when compared with other books - for example a 'la' rank would never be given command of a battlesuit, not even the lighter XV25 Stealth Suit.
But those are minor errors, and I did enjoy the story overall!

One of my favourite characters and it was good to see him finally understanding what the ethereals are and that is basically not good for the Tau

Fantastic and unique insights into Farsight's story arch. A wide spanning impact story that shines a light on the Etheral Caste - where is the next one?!

Great Insight.

very well written, great to have a set of books that have someone doubt the Tau within their own ranks.

Empire of Lies is the second instalment to the Farsight series,

Is short, it’s got less chitter-chatter, and more shooter-splatter elements. That said, I found myself zoning out, having to re-listen to sections - just as I did with the first instalment - I found the story not so gripping as expected.

That said, that said, the story delivers great T’au lore, and I will be buying Shadowsun to carry on feeding my lore-whore habits.

In short, not a bad pair of books. Buy it if you’re interested in the Farsight story.

Better than the first book
