Publisher's Summary

Audiobook four of the Ciaphas Cain series.

Listen to it because:

It's a tale of Cain alone (well, except for Jurgen, but he hardly counts), surrounded by enemies and desperate for a good cup of tanna tea....

The story:

Once again, reluctant hero Commissar Cain is catapulted into glory in the fourth instalment of this tremendously popular series. Escaping from a disastrous space battle, the commissar and his malodorous sidekick Jurgen crash-land behind enemy lines. Even the sly Cain can't avoid a straight fight this time, as the only way out is to round up what few troops they can find and fight their way back to safety. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of barbaric alien orks stand in their way.

More an audio drama then a simple book.

The cast, as always has done an incredible job, so much so that I ironically can’t bring myself to listen to the shorter stories voiced by a different reader.

The simple fact now is that Stephen Perring is Ciaphas Cain, just as Penelope Rawlings is Amberley.

I can’t wait for the best instalment.

Impeccable narration

The characters in this book felt unique and used a lot of very subtle and situational humour excellently.

Fun adventure

As a fan of the previous books this one was just as good. If you like the previous Cain novels this one should be up your alley as well.

Potentially my favorite Cain novel so far?

I like how this one shakes up the formula while still giving the great character moments the others in the series are known for!

Fantastically narrated.

The novel was a complete joy to listen to, the narrators put ample work into it so we can understand what the characters are feeling. And the story is entertaining to listen to.

this man has such titanic balls

I suspect his chronic imposter syndrome is the only reason he's so self critical

Excellent as ever

I have fallen in love with both the story character CAIN and the voice actors that play all the parts. I wish all such books in the WH40K franchise were done so masterfully with multiple actors!
