Summary
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.

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.

Excellent narration, excellent writing
My new favourite audiobook. I was absolutely hooked. Some of the best narration, best story and best plot that exists. Ending was a bit sad, but wasn't completely disappointed.
CADIA STANDS!

A great modern 40k book
Would like to start by stating that Devi’s Seddon is well up there on par with the likes of Jonathan Keeble and Toby Longworth.
The book is honestly very enjoyable, it delivers well on a branching war story with plenty of militarum and a decent amount aeronautica action. We get a very nuanced and human perspective of the cast of characters who are mentioned in the lore of the fall of Cadia. There are also some good elements of the more strange aspects of 40k but if it’s a full dive into the horror of 40k outside of war in the materium between Chaos and the Imperium then you’re better off with something more classic like The Eye Of Terror.
All in all it’s a great novel and I highly recommend it.

Great lore even better with new narrator
Really interesting and intriguing book that (for me) fleshes out the story of the fall, I listened to this before with mark elstobs narration and that was just awful! Well BL for getting a quality narrator this time

Cadia broke before the guard did
In the beginning I was worried that I had to many characters to remember or battlefronts to keep track of… but it works. Each POV is distinct and necessary. Somehow you can see the whole world at war, all at once.

Epic conflict well told. Much improved narration
Re listening to this I realised how many details I’d missed from the previous version because I was trying to ignore the voice actor. This version is way better. It’s a well told planetary level siege from both sides of the conflict with lord of arcs that conclude and converge at the end. Very satisfying.

Gem
One of my favourite black library books. The length is perfect to cover the huge scope of the battle and the parties involved. Probably the fastest 40k audiobook I've gotten through as I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Especially fond of a particularly unhinged Kasrkin.
