Publisher's summary

Book three of the Ciaphas Cain series.

An old rival, infighting with fellow Astra Militarum regiments and the small matter of a cult devoted to the Chaos God Slaanesh derail Commissar Cain's hope for a quiet and uneventful mission.

Ciaphas Cain's latest mission takes him and his Valhallan regiment to the planet of Adumbria to defend against an approaching Chaos invasion. However, infighting with fellow Imperial Guard regiments from the world of Tallarn, commanded by an old 'friend' of Cain's from the Schola Progenium and the uprising of a sinister cult on the planet puts paid to any hopes of an easy life.

Good story, bad formatting

Although this holds up just as well as the first 2 Cain books, the formatting has been done poorly. After a while, I'd noticed the chapters would be marked halfway through the previous chapter.

I Love This Series

every book I listen to or read for this series just reinforces that this the perfect collection of books to give a friend to see if they would like to get into 40k. the only series I feel comes out on top as an intro is the Eisenhorn trilogy.

Editing Errors?

I really enjoy this series. Later in the novel there's a few instances where the narrator does multiple attempts at the same line and keeps messing up. Surprised this wasn't caught in the editing. Also apparently no one at GW caught that he kept saying Leman Russ as Leman Roose.

As excellent as I expected

Mitchell's Cain novels are always great entertainment, and this cast has been excellent since book one. I look forward to hearing the same cast read the rest of them.

I Recommend Playing Back at <90% Normal Speed

I had to restart this audiobook and run it at 0.9X the normal playback speed. In books 1 and 2, Amberley's interjections had a noticeable pause before her lines. In this book, her interjecting commentary feels more like interruptions. It's just the result of some inadequate editing.

As a side quibble, there were moments where the audio quality and tone of the actors will dramatically changes without reason. I'm pretty sure they went back and had the actors rerecord some lines in ADR.
