About this listen

On an Imperial outpost world on the fringes of tau space, the renowned Commissar Ciaphas Cain and his fractious regiment of Valhallan Guard, newly created from the remnants of two devastated units, find themselves in the middle of a war.

As the Astra Militarum struggle to contain worldwide civil insurrection, can the wily Commissar Cain identify the real villain before the planet is lost to the Imperium forever?

Possably one of the most enjoyable 40k books I've listened to in a while. The running "editorial" notes throught the story are brilliant and well done.

This was one I already had on paperback, but the performances bring it to life; Perring makes an excellent Cain, and as a 40k book, it does a great job at fleshing at the world without becoming overly grimdark

One of the best 40k audiobooks out there
