About this listen

A T'au Empire Audiobook

Commander Shadowsun is an ice-cold military genius – but will her patient stratagems be enough to protect all she holds dear from the Death Guard's infectious touch?

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

See an iconic t'au hero tested like never before, as she strives to confront a horrifying Legion empowered by eldritch forces beyond her logical understanding.

THE STORY

Commander O’Shaserra, better known as Shadowsun, is an ice-cold military genius celebrated across the Chalnath Expanse. She is the master of the stealth battlesuit assault and the Kauyon metastrategy – a philosophy of war that emulates the Patient Hunter. But how to lay a trap for the Chaos-worshipping warriors of the Death Guard, whose ancient technology allows their fleet to rip holes in space? And how to deal with their daemonic patrons, who defy the laws of physics and shatter the logical methods that Shadowsun holds so dear?

With her forces spread far and wide on the dark side of the Great Rift, Shadowsun must respond to a surprise attack on the Startide Nexus wormhole portal. Worse yet, as hidden atrocities and treacheries are laid bare, the threat of civil war simmers between the t'au and their allies.

If she is to stand a chance, the t'au's finest commander will have to improvise, trust to instinct, and face the unnatural echoes of her empire's own dark secrets.

It is fantastic to get another T'au novel, and made into audiobook form. Finally we get to know Shadowsun a bit more through her point of view, and a lot more details on the T'au ally races. Great choice of voice actress too; very refreshing to hear a female narrator and appropriate to the story!

A great addition to the T'au novels

Only gripe is the trembling voice. Sounds like she's on the verge of tears all the time, it's quite annoying (and would probably fit better in some sort of teen love-drama) but not bad enough to make me stop listening... They can't all be Keeble after all.

I like it.

First off. This book is not bad. But its not great neither. The usage of terms specifically to point out Tau versions of time and species gets confusing and are for the most part not needed. The story has its ups and downs. Some parts good some very slow. The narrator do a good job however her choice of voice for one of the alien species was so horrible to my ears i had to lower the volume extremely just to get through the conversation.

Another ok Tau story

Yo, fam! Let me spill the deets on Shadowsun: The Patient Hunter. This book is straight-up outta this galaxy, you feel me? Shadowsun is owning the scene with her tactical moves, and those battles, bro, they're next-level. 🌌📚

The author went all in with the plot twists; I was legit shook! Shadowsun's a total boss, giving off those Tau vibes. And the battles, man, they're lit AF. The action is fire, almost too much to handle. 🔥💥

But, like, I gotta keep it real, there were moments where I was kinda lost in the Warhammer 40K galaxy. That lore is a whole universe of info, and I was just floating in space, you know? It's a vibe when you're trying to keep up with all those factions and stuff. 🌌🤔

Overall, though, Shadowsun is the queen of patience, and this book is a vibe. If you're into epic battles, futuristic feels, and badass female leads, it's a must-read. Just be ready to decode some 40K mysteries on the way. Happy reading, bros! ✌️📚

Jokes aside it's great!

Galactic Vibes and Tactical Thrills, Bro!
