About this listen

Book 9 in the Ciaphas Cain series.

Hero of the Imperium, the legendary Commissar Ciaphas Cain, is back in the field, and this time he's facing down both the T'au Empire and the tyranids.

Listen to it because....

Treacherous t'au, terrifying tyranids and the irascible Commissar Cain – it all adds up to a classic tale from the master of Warhammer 40,000 comedy-action.

The story:

When the world of Quadravidia comes under attack by the insidious tau, only one man can defeat the aliens and save the planet in the Emperor's name – the legendary Hero of the Imperium, Commissar Ciaphas Cain. When the aliens call for a ceasefire, Cain expects the worst, and his fears are answered in the form of the dread menace of the tyranids. As a hive fleet approaches Quadravidia, Cain must try to forge an alliance between the Imperium and the t'au – but can he truly trust the inscrutable xenos?

another fantastic performance well written and thoroughly entertaining plenty of suspense, laughs and scuttling monstrosities

If a bird Ciaphas Caine novel exists, I have never read one. This one was certainly at least as enjoyable as all the others.

Excellent as always

thought Cain would be fighting alongside the Tau on the ground in this one, would have appreciated some guardsman/ firewarrior banter ect

Cover was a bit misleading

It's good but not as good as the others in the series. Still an enjoyable listen though

Worst of a good series but still good

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I have to admit this was perhaps my favourite one in the series though a little slow to start it gets very good

Best one yet
