Summary

Book three of the Ciaphas Cain series.

An old rival, infighting with fellow Astra Militarum regiments and the small matter of a cult devoted to the Chaos God Slaanesh derail Commissar Cain's hope for a quiet and uneventful mission.

Ciaphas Cain's latest mission takes him and his Valhallan regiment to the planet of Adumbria to defend against an approaching Chaos invasion. However, infighting with fellow Imperial Guard regiments from the world of Tallarn, commanded by an old 'friend' of Cain's from the Schola Progenium and the uprising of a sinister cult on the planet puts paid to any hopes of an easy life.

Amazing

The Commissar Cain books are incredible and provide an amazing humour in the grim dark of the far future. Well worth listening to them all and very well performed all around. Kudos to Stephen Perring for representing the saltiest commissar in all the Galaxy.

Another great piece of work!

The dynamic performance between each vocal performer is the best blend Ibhave ever come across. The characters just keep growing from novel to novel. I have laughed out loud to this one a couple of times. Great work thank you!

Definitely worth it

I’ve read/listened to all of the Cain books and this one is as fantastic as the rest. You will need to look past the poor editing in a few places (Audible should face a firing squad for allowing that), but the story makes it worth it. This is Cain at his absolute best! Review date Apr 22.

Another excellent book from the series

Again, a great book. The story and the performances are excellent, probably one of the best series in the 40K universe.

Cain does it again!

Another fantastic entry in the series and I truly enjoyed hearing the cast with some new voices in it too! A truly pleasant experience from start to finish and I’m waiting for my monthly credit for the next one!

The unwilling hero.

If you're looking for a likable anti-hero, look no further. The Ciaphas-series is one that I have revisited several times. The series is thankfully lacking of the otherwise black library-abundanh machismo.
