Story
Nathaniel Garro and the Knights-Errant offer a tantalising answer to a question many fans of Warhammer 40,000 and the Horus Heresy have asked themselves - did every member of the traitor Legions turn against the Imperium? This collection of stories follows some few Astartes who turned on their Legion rather than their emperor or else became blackshields - renegades in that grey space somewhere between loyalty and betrayal.

When the barbarous Fettnir, Goliath overlord of the Chemfall Butchers, turns his attention to Escher territory, the result is nothing short of a massacre. Brielle of the Wild Hydras escapes the slaughter and is cast into the deepest levels of the underhive.

Summary
A T'au Empire novel
Fresh from his victory on Arkunasha, the young Commander Farsight leads a crusade to reclaim colonies lost to mankind's Imperium. But stiff resistance will test him to his limits and beyond.
Listen to it because: Phil Kelly continues his look at the life of Commander Farsight with his first campaign against the full might of the Imperium and shows how the T'au Empire's technological superiority fares against Imperial grit.
The story: the t'au are a mysterious alien race, diametrically opposed to the Imperium of Man in every possible way - in their mastery of technology, methods of warfare and social structure. Yet in galactic terms they are a young race, and naïve when it comes to the manipulations of Chaos. When promising young Commander Farsight is promoted to lead a crusade across the Damocles Gulf to reclaim the T'au Empire's lost colonies from mankind, the mood is one of optimism. With their mighty fleet, and superior weapons and machines, how can their endeavour possibly fail? However, despite a parade of early successes, Commander Farsight soon faces enemies he wasn't anticipating and finds not only his courage but also his soul tested to the very limit.
Written by Phil Kelly. Narrated by Helen McAlpine and Andrew Wincott.

Get it read !
I must have read about 30 or 40 books from Warhammer 40K I must have returned at least 10. The one I love ...I really love ...This fits in that section.
I'm the guy that doesn't like bolter porn
I dislike the majority of the books after book 5 of the Horus heresy
I send my back any siege of Terra books that are filler and chaf
I love Manflayer, Eisenhorn, Gideon, Bequin!, Luther and Bellerasious Cal
So now you know I like a really good story, great imagination and great characters and you have it all in this book. I can't wait to see the rest.

Greatest good
It’s difficult not to like the majority of the Tau as apart from the Ethereals the other castes really want to improve life for all species, the glaring differences between space marines and their psychotic tendencies and the fire caste is like the eye of terror, vast and depthless! Farsight is finally opening his eyes to reality in this book and I really wish there was sequel!! Superbly narrated

The greater good, doesn't make them good guys!
Very good introduction to the Tau race. Tau are the newest race in the 40k universe. They are very expansionist, masters of diplomacy and deceit, you get the impression they would rather expand the empire without firing a shot, winning "hearts and minds/propaganda".
The Tau cast system is very interesting, they view war as a means to an ends. The Tau "firecast"(warrior class) study the art of war more as a science and dogmatic in approach but follow the rules and tactics literally by the book. mathematical and statistical in their approach to warfare. The Tau class system really aren't keen on outside the box thinking and view off the cuff tactics as borderline insubordination, that will get you pushished, even if you got the desired results.... The other Tau casts view the firecast's with suspicion and trepidation, probably because they don't want firecast Tau to get any ideas above there station.
I really got an eastern/Japanese feel to this Xenos race, espeshally in the battlesuits and the feel for technology, they seem very 'manga'. The narration was really good. Would recommend!

More Far sight please less marines
As a fan of the imperium and having and having branched out into listening to non human BL books i was pleasantly surprised at this. A great insight into the mindset of the Tau. I'm now considering a farsight enclave army..... Not Tau. Not a fan of the Etherials. The only gripe i have is the scar lords. Felt like skipping any chapters that where about them. Definitely not a fan. Wasn't crazy with the voices chosen fir them. But over all. Decent book. I want more.

Awesome T'au story
Loved the book and the characters, the battlesuit fights are very well written and the space marines feel appropriately intimidating. However the narrators, while fantastic VA's, frequently mispronounced a couple words. and I'm nuts so that bothered me. the word Cadre pronounced as "carder" and geyser pronounced "geezer". Other than that, loved it. T'au rule, and so do most of their stories despite what imperial fanboys whine about.
