Summary

Book 9 in the Ciaphas Cain series.

Hero of the Imperium, the legendary Commissar Ciaphas Cain, is back in the field, and this time he's facing down both the T'au Empire and the tyranids.

Listen to it because....

Treacherous t'au, terrifying tyranids and the irascible Commissar Cain – it all adds up to a classic tale from the master of Warhammer 40,000 comedy-action.

The story:

When the world of Quadravidia comes under attack by the insidious tau, only one man can defeat the aliens and save the planet in the Emperor's name – the legendary Hero of the Imperium, Commissar Ciaphas Cain. When the aliens call for a ceasefire, Cain expects the worst, and his fears are answered in the form of the dread menace of the tyranids. As a hive fleet approaches Quadravidia, Cain must try to forge an alliance between the Imperium and the t'au – but can he truly trust the inscrutable xenos?

Kind of rote at this point

This was one of my favourite series.

But you get the impression that they kept the author in a basement and wouldn't let him out to see the sun until it was finished. You can feel he's just going through the motions.

Also, disappointingly little Tau for a novel called "For The Greater Good".

Another jolly jaunt

Voice actors were perfect. Could swear Amberly was my English teacher 🤣.

Story was typical Cain fun. If you enjoy his exploits, you will enjoy this.

Only read If a Caphias Cane fan.

the greater good indeed

story was pretty good and left the reader wondering for a few pages about certain happenings. although the knowing reader will already know or at least speculate on a larger plot point.

it also leaves for an interesting ending with 10e of the tabletop having tyrrenits as a large focus point.

Excellent narration and story

Loved the comedic quick pacing. Excellent, exciting swashbuckler with memorable scenes and great interactions. I love this series and the formulaic scenarios
