After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Publisher's Summary
Book 2 of the Ciaphas Cain series.
When Commissar Ciaphas Cain and his regiment of Valhallan Guardsmen are deployed to the ice world of Simia Orichalcae, his expectation of an uneventful tour of duty is suddenly interrupted.
Listen to it because:
While his Valhallan regiment are happy on an ice world, Cain's biggest concern is freezing to death...until orks start attacking, and then an ancient threat emerges from the depths. Stuck between two enemies, Cain needs to stop playing the hero and actually be one.
The story:
On the ice world of Simia Orichalcae a spate of mysterious disappearances is causing unrest amongst the mine workers, and, as senior officer of the Astra Militarum, Commissar Ciaphas Cain is nominated to investigate. Unbeknownst to him, the planet is right in the path of a major ork incursion, and, as the savage greenskins attack, a malevolent evil begins to stir deep in the ice caves.
Written by Sandy Mitchell. Narrated by Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins and Emma Gregory.

An epic memoir, with excellent performances to match.
Written in the style of an annotated memoir, the performance of the narrator perfectly makes it seem as though Ciaphas Cain were reading the book himself. He doesn’t bother to give unique voices and accents to anyone speaking except those who are closest to the “author”, because as these memoirs are supposed to have been written decades after the events detailed, short lived and inconsequential characters don’t get the same effort and attention in the narrator’s performance because the “author” probably didn’t remember, or care, what they sounded like.
The performances by Stephen Perring as Commissar Cain have really stuck out to me for these reasons, and added tremendously to the experience of an already excellent story.
It’s fairly typical Sci-fi/Warhammer 40k stuff, but the personalities of the characters, the faux-memoir writing style and the addition of “annotations” (which is hilarious stuff, especially her disdain for some of the other “sources” she uses to fill in the gaps of Cain’s recollection) make it stand out from anything else I’ve read/listened to recently. It’s altogether an excellently fun, exciting and darkly hilarious series and I look forward to listening to more of them.
Stephen Perring’s performance may have spoiled the idea of continuing the series in paperback form, however. I’m definitely going to want to hear more from this group for the added enjoyment they bring.
