About this listen

A Warhammer 40,000 Audiobook

Since the T’au Empire annexed the world of Cao Quo, its benighted human population has caused setback after setback for their new rulers, resisting the light of the Greater Good. Now, an armed rebellion has taken root, led by the ruthless but brilliant Artamax – a Space Marine of the Raptors Chapter.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Explore the inner workings, politics, and challenges facing members of the T'au as they face a full-scale planetary insurrection from within their own empire. Can a selection of experts from across the castes come together to defeat this insurgency?

THE STORY

In a moment of crisis for the T'au Empire, the enigmatic ethereal Yor’i assembles an elite Elemental Council – a veteran Fireblade, a water caste spy, a peerless air caste pilot, and a maverick earth caste engineer – in the hope of curtailing the growing insurgency on the planet Cao Quo.

But as a full-scale planetary insurrection looms, enemies more cunning than Yor’i’s council could have imagined begin to surface from both sides, and Cao Quo soon finds itself teetering on the brink of being plunged back into a dark age of ignorance, and all-out war.

Really like the exploration of Tau society, ideology etc. Characters were engaging and developed throughout the story well, really liked the main casts interactions.

Bit of a lull in the middle, with multiple set pieces that felt like they could all be a good ending. Did not need as many.

Best portrayal of a space marine from a non imperium perspective in a 40k book so far.

Overall great, 40k needs more interesting books like this.

Uniqueness of perspective

Honestly one of the best T'au books i have read. Noah portrays the intricacies of t'au society, with the element council being a great way to show interactions between the castes. Each of the elemental council caste members have their own motivations and fears making them greater characters to read about and care for.

Could not recommend this book more for any warhammer 40k fan who like T'au (or the Raptors!).

This is how you write a good T'au book

really liked how the imperium and more specific lyrics the space marine are portrayed. it's a wee bit too long but still a listen would definitely recommend

Good book!

This was the best T'au focused novel out of all the ones released. The audio version was good and very easy to listen

Best T'au focused novel so far

Some great perspective from the Tau, Kroot, AM and even a lone space marine. The Elemental Council is a rag-tag bunch but explains thoughts, ideas and perspectives well of each individual member. A decent twist in there too keeps you listening.

Loved it.

good bit of lore for the tau with them fighting for control of a border world with more than just arms.

good outing of the raptors, there aren't many stories of marines doing more than throwing a chainsword about but this is a good one.

good story with some nice twists

It was hesitant at first as I don't generally find Tau interesting, this booked turned all that around. The protagonist is really well written, I found myself just being thoroughly entertained by the back and forth struggle.

Great listen

A fantastic story in its own right, but also one that gets right to the heart of the Tau Empire and its place in the grim darkness of the far future. One of the best Black Library novels I've read and the pinnacle of Tau centred fiction.

Excellent and definitive.

I enjoyed the description of cat and mouse battles between the assassin, Space Marine and Tau.

THE CAT AND THE MOUSE.

Emma Gregory did a fantastic job narrating and giving voices to the characters. Without spoiling too much, the story gives a feeling somewhat similar to Star Wars Rogue One, in that we're following a small core group fighting a much greater foe.

Excellent performance
