About this listen
An Astra Militarum Audiobook
Cadia. This proud world stood defiant for centuries – a bulwark against the forces of Chaos residing in the Eye of Terror. All of this would change when it was targeted for destruction by Abaddon the Despoiler as part of his Thirteenth Black Crusade.
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
The Fall of Cadia is a touchstone moment of the Warhammer 40,000 timeline. This incredible battle led to the opening of the Great Rift and ushered in a grim new era in which even greater threats assailed the Imperium.
THE STORY
Cadia licks its wounds in the wake of the Thirteenth Black Crusade. The heretic forces retreat on all fronts. The day is won. But Lord Castellan Creed cannot rest easy. Something tells him the assault was a mere prelude to something greater, something more final. He is right. Out of the Eye of Terror comes Abaddon the Despoiler, at the head of a warhost unmatched in scale since the dread days of the Horus Heresy.
In the face of the looming apocalypse, Creed must weld the champions of Cadia into a bulwark capable of withstanding Abaddon’s fury. And in orbit, the Despoiler himself finds his own alliance teetering on a knife edge…
This is a tale told at epic scale, from the tables of high command to the slaughter of the pylon fields, and with a huge cast of characters from self-styled demigods to the rank-and-file foot soldiers of the Imperium.
This is the story of Abaddon’s greatest conquest. This is Cadia’s last stand.

Exceptional
I thought only Abnett could do this with Warhammer, but Rath has met that standard and possibly exceeded it. Incredible character and plot development, integrating cataclysmic battles with down to earth politics and intrigue. Brought me almost to tears in many places, as well as laughter in others. Amazing work!

Cadia Stands!
An epic journey through the last days of Cadia with heaps of well known characters and some new ones that you are genuinely rooting for! It’s a long read for a Warhammer 40k book but it held my attention and even made me quite emotional- I really enjoyed it and would recommend it.

A worthy end to the plant that broke, Cadia stands!
If you like the Minka Lesk stories and Dan Abnett, this book is for you. It’s take lead from stories like Double Eagle and Cadia stands, whilst giving an interesting insight into the mind of a certain ancient hoarder, which lightens the tone, just as it all becomes to dark to bear.
And the authors own words in the end is very interesting.

Awesome story with amazing voice acting
Took a little while to make all the connections with who all the characters were in relation to each other and the story but it’s all tied together masterfully. Voice acting was awesome.

Paints a good image of the war on Cadia
It’s engaging, and it paints a good image of what happened on the war for Cadia. However, it suffers as all 40K epic novels suffer - it’s confusing and uses far too much jargon.
- Too many characters with easily forgettable names besides creed and kell.
- way too much happening all at once - settings are very hard to keep track of.
- it assumes you know everything there is to know about Horus Heresy and Chaos Marines, so it does very little to actually set the scene of the story.
- Fantastically voiced, although characters are hard to pick apart.
- Battle scenes are intense and thrilling.
- Fans of Imperial Guard will find lots of references they enjoy.
