Publisher's summary

Book 2 of the Ciaphas Cain series.

When Commissar Ciaphas Cain and his regiment of Valhallan Guardsmen are deployed to the ice world of Simia Orichalcae, his expectation of an uneventful tour of duty is suddenly interrupted.

Listen to it because:

While his Valhallan regiment are happy on an ice world, Cain's biggest concern is freezing to death...until orks start attacking, and then an ancient threat emerges from the depths. Stuck between two enemies, Cain needs to stop playing the hero and actually be one.

The story:

On the ice world of Simia Orichalcae a spate of mysterious disappearances is causing unrest amongst the mine workers, and, as senior officer of the Astra Militarum, Commissar Ciaphas Cain is nominated to investigate. Unbeknownst to him, the planet is right in the path of a major ork incursion, and, as the savage greenskins attack, a malevolent evil begins to stir deep in the ice caves.

Written by Sandy Mitchell. Narrated by Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins and Emma Gregory.

Still a good series !!!!!

This entry in the series is does not have the same humor as the previous material, that being said if you enjoy Cain as much as I do then you will enjoy this book.

Engaging with just the right amount of humor

Great story made me laugh as well as be repeatedly engaged by the action and life-or-death struggles

Need more

I loved the Ciaphas Cain books when I bought them in their omnibus forms, and was therefore a bit sad when I couldn't find any in audio format and Black Library was...well, being themselves and focusing more on the Astartes, as usual. This and For The Emperor hitting Audible was a shot in the arm I needed.

It's unabridged, well handled, with the annotations actually flowing well with the different voice actors switching over, unlike when reading it I had to glance down to see it then go back up and find my place again. It's also good to know my memories of the series aren't rose tinted glasses because I still loved going through the story again and was even surprised in a few moments.

More, Audible, we need more. Hell, we need ALL of them. Gimmeeeee

Worth the read

Was a very satisfying and interesting read although it can drag
Narrator can tend to not pause after sentences from characters which leads to confusing moments where you have to think about where words end and thoughts start but other than that the voices and acting is fantastic
