Publisher's summary

A T'au Empire novel

Fresh from his victory on Arkunasha, the young Commander Farsight leads a crusade to reclaim colonies lost to mankind's Imperium. But stiff resistance will test him to his limits and beyond.

Listen to it because: Phil Kelly continues his look at the life of Commander Farsight with his first campaign against the full might of the Imperium and shows how the T'au Empire's technological superiority fares against Imperial grit.

The story: the t'au are a mysterious alien race, diametrically opposed to the Imperium of Man in every possible way - in their mastery of technology, methods of warfare and social structure. Yet in galactic terms they are a young race, and naïve when it comes to the manipulations of Chaos. When promising young Commander Farsight is promoted to lead a crusade across the Damocles Gulf to reclaim the T'au Empire's lost colonies from mankind, the mood is one of optimism. With their mighty fleet, and superior weapons and machines, how can their endeavour possibly fail? However, despite a parade of early successes, Commander Farsight soon faces enemies he wasn't anticipating and finds not only his courage but also his soul tested to the very limit.

Written by Phil Kelly. Narrated by Helen McAlpine and Andrew Wincott.

Good for a Tua book

As an Ork guy this book was pretty good. Great performance like normal. Story was good. It has your standard combat mixed in with so Tua politics. Not great but if your a Tua guy or has a passing interest then it’s not a bad listen and leaves you wanting to follow the bread crumbs of the next book.

Almost excellent! Not quite, but almost.

In my opinion, this book does for the Tau what Graham MacNiel’s “Uriel Ventris Saga” did for the Ultramarines: give some much-needed depth to a sometimes controversial faction, and put a fleshed-out character front and center as that faction’s representative. It can feel a bit slow at times, but the story as a whole is good, the narration is very good, and the climax is absolutely excellent. All in all, a solid 4/5!

A good start, but ending seems forced

A good start and decent buildup for the theme of broken faith. Stories end seems a bit forced. But it does leave one with a sense of wanting a part 2.

Needed more tau audio books and this nails it

This book really puts the taus placement in the galaxy into perspective. It also gives a nice view of space marines as antagonists. And a sprinkle of warp.

Great Warhammer 40k

A lot of T'au lore to carve their own place in the grimdark.

Great scenes in this.

Different narrators for T'au and Imperials which is awesome.

Lots of references to Damocles.
