About this listen

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.

Ciaphus Cain stories are normally good, but this particular story seemed to be the opening for something bigger. I wasn't expecting only an hour for my credit.

Shorter story for some extra sound effects

While the prospect of an audio drama is enticing, having previously listened to other Ciaphas Cain books with Stephen Perring’s specific cadence for Cain and Jurgen and Penelope Rawlins, it’s quite odd to listen to Toby Longworth playing Cain after hearing him in The Last Ditch. Wish there was a bit more of Jurgen and itching palms in this story as well, but overall everything is a decent performance and the sound effects are mostly good flavouring. The Chainsword sounds did cut into the narration a bit. Overall though, this is decent. But the other Cain books prove to be far better.
I would recommend though that if there is another Cain audiobook, they go with Stephen Perring for Narration along with the background sound effects and slight music that this drama had.

A fairly decent Cain story

BUT... Damnably short. I realise it's an audio drama, with actors and sound effects and production issues, beyond someone sitting in a studio reading the words.... But GW..... This one was more like an intro than a full story. I enjoyed it nonetheless.... But when I realised it was about to end..... I had to check my watch to make sure I hadn't slept through part of it!

Great fun, ss any take of Cain Co....

I understand it’s an audio drama, so this is on me in part, but it’s quite a lot to pay for so little content.
Voice acting is great, the story is great, but it’s all over so quickly.
More like an intro to one of the great Cain novels - I would definitely recommend them first!

Fun but very short
