For a thousand years, the Sabbat Worlds have been lost to the Imperium, claimed by the dread powers of Chaos. Now, a mighty crusade seeks to return the sector to Imperial rule. And at the forefront of that crusade are Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt and the Tanith First and Only - better known as Gaunt’s Ghosts. Trapped in the grinding trench warfare of Fortis Binary, the Ghosts find themselves drawn into a conspiracy to assassinate the crusade’s leader, Warmaster Macaroth.

Before the being called the Emperor revealed himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts - and people - of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future.

Once heir to the throne of a dynasty, he now commands nothing but a dwindling garrison of warriors, in a never-ending struggle against Ork invaders.

Unless Oltyx acts to save his dynasty, revenge will win him only ashes.

The Night Lords were once among the most potent forces of the Imperium, Space Marines who used fear itself as their weapon. Now, cast adrift from the Emperor's light and hunted as heretics after their monstrous betrayal, the Night Lords clad themselves in symbols of death and fight the Long War, bringing pain and terror to all who worship the corpse-god of Terra. A summons from Warmaster Abaddon sends these rebels on a dangerous journey that leads inexorably to a conflict with the Emperor's chosen warriors, the Blood Angels.

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.

Fell times have come to the galaxy. Cadia has fallen, destroyed by the onslaught of Chaos. A Great Rift in the warp has opened, and from its depths spew daemons and the horrors of Old Night. But all hope is not lost… A hero, long absent, has returned, and with him comes the wrath of the Ultramarines reborn. Roboute Guilliman has arisen to lead the Imperium out of darkness on a crusade the likes of which has not been seen since the fabled days of the Emperor. But never before have the forces of Ruin amassed in such numbers, and nowhere is safe from despoliation.

Flashman meets 40k with great success!
Sandy Mitchell returns to their much lauded 'Ciaphas Cain' series with "For The Emperor," and what a return it is. The Cain novels have always been a clear homage to George MacDonald Fraser's 'Flashman' series, replacing Harry Flashman with a Commisar officer from the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It may seem like an odd mix, but Mitchell regularly pulls it off, creating a fun, adventurous parallel to the often depressing "grim-dark" of the Warhammer setting. Stephen Perring is particularly 'Flashy' in his narration, and any fans of Flashman, Warhammer, or adventurous sci-fi in general should give "For The Emperor" a shot. #Audible1

A good 40K story for newcomers.
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to an upbeat story. I choose this book to introduce my boomer father to 40K.
He really liked it and we had some good laughs together.
May the fortunes always be in the Commissar’s favour.

Laughter in the Grimdark
Despite all sayings to the contrary, there is a touch more than war to be found in the grim, dark future of the 41st Millennium. In Sandy Mitchell's Ciaphas Cain, novels, there is, in fact, a great deal of levity. This delightful adventure manages to infuse some very welcome humour into the 41st Millennium, without throwing too much of a lampshade over the setting's inherent ridiculousness. Neither does it skimp on the action or brutality that 40K fans should rightly expect in their reading.
Ciaphas Cain is something of an anomaly among Imperial Guard Commissars. Far from the taciturn, steely-eyed killers who enforce discipline with a bolt round to the head, Cain prefers to rely on charisma and compromise. He's also an abject coward. His progressive approach to regimental morale is motivated primarily by thoughts of self-preservation, as are most of his seemingly shrewd actions on the battlefield. Cain is, however, the walking embodiment of the "Task Failed Successfully" meme. His uncanny luck (good or bad) turns just about every one of his attempts to wuss out of a fight into an opportunity to engage in thrilling heroics. As a result, Cain is regarded as a bona fide hero. It is a reputation he abhors, but doesn't dare besmirch.
The result is a series of madcap adventures, kicked off with this wonderful volume. Mitchell's story, written as Cain's own memoir, is dripping with eloquent and refreshing humour. Cain's self-deprecating narrative is at once sharp, vulnerable, reflective and hilarious. The characters who surround him range from madcap to completely world-serious. Despite the ostensibly grimdark setting, none feel out of place in the story. In fact, the sheer range of tone and character stands in such contrast to the often self-serious veneer of other 40K stories as to render Cain's tale refreshingly human. It elevates the Warhammer Universe through parody. It brings the beautiful ridiculousness of the setting front and centre, while still honouring the game and fans it was written for.
The voice actors are more than equal to maintaining that balance, I'm pleased to say. Perring, Rawlins and Gregory each understood the assignment. Perring and Rawlins have especially great chemistry as the imposter syndrome-laden Cain, and the cheeky Amberly Vail, respectively. Though they never share dialogue together, the playfulness of their deliveries really makes the characters sound like teasing friends (or, perhaps, more...). Gregory as General Sula embodies all the self-righteous zeal a soldier of the Imperium is expected to have. Each one of them sounds like they belong perfectly in the 41st Millennium. They are a delight to listen to, plain and simple.
If you're eager to explore the lore of the Warhammer Universe, but would like a laugh in among all the tragedy and mayhem, might I suggest "For the Emperor"? It'll keep you in-universe and in-stitches simultaneously.
