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".

Disappointing

Love Cain and don’t have much hopes for complex story lines in Black Library books- but this book felt inconsequential and pretty pointless.

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.

has become too repetitive

the story is the thinnest in the series and only the performance made it worth getting through

Best one yet

I have to admit this was perhaps my favourite one in the series though a little slow to start it gets very good
