Summary
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?

Kind of rote at this point
This was one of my favourite series.
But you get the impression that they kept the author in a basement and wouldn't let him out to see the sun until it was finished. You can feel he's just going through the motions.
Also, disappointingly little Tau for a novel called "For The Greater Good".

Another jolly jaunt
Voice actors were perfect. Could swear Amberly was my English teacher 🤣.
Story was typical Cain fun. If you enjoy his exploits, you will enjoy this.

Cain saves the day
I really enjoy the Cain stories and this is another good addition, however it's not as strong as the others. Overall it's got Cain's usual style and comedy but the story felt a bit rushed in places and lacked detail. It was like it wasn't sure quite where it was going at times. still enjoyable though

Another great Story
The only thing disappointing was the lack of Tau, the cover and title suggests that they play a vital role in the story. Unfortunately they feel more like props and do not really do anything beyond helping with the scenario set up

Poor jurgen
I’m now only beginning to release the extent of his brain damage. He gets hit in the head pretty much every book. No wonder he’s a bit ‘off’

Good but Lacking on previous titles.
The Tau were under utilised. Story was meh.
Only read If a Caphias Cane fan.

the greater good indeed
story was pretty good and left the reader wondering for a few pages about certain happenings. although the knowing reader will already know or at least speculate on a larger plot point.
it also leaves for an interesting ending with 10e of the tabletop having tyrrenits as a large focus point.
