About this listen

An Astra Militarum Novel.

An elite squad of Cadian Kasrkin are tasked with a critical mission behind enemy lines. They must rescue their general in xenos-held territory before his dangerous knowledge falls into enemy hands. But not all is as it seems....

Listen to it because....

Hear the legendary elite soldiers of Cadia in action as they take on a mission so dangerous it could only be trusted to troops with their training and equipment.

The story:

When the perfidious t’au bring down a valkyrie containing an Astra Militarum general on the besieged Imperial world of Dasht i-Kevar, all could be lost—what the general knows could break the war effort, and see the planet fall under the control of the vile xenos.

Only the Kasrkin stand a chance at bringing him back. They are the elite of the elite, but the enemy that Captain Bharath Obeysekera and his squad are called upon to fight is unlike any they have faced before—the desert itself, endless and implacable.

With sandstorms cutting them off from support, Obeysekera has only his soldiers to rely on. As the Kasrkin journey deeper into the wastes, they begin to realise they’re not the only hunters searching for the missing general, and that their war has caught the attention of something ancient lurking beneath the desert sands…

Good story

Overall a really enjoyable book. After a slightly slow start , once things begin to ramp up the book takes some interesting twists and turns . A good look into the Kasrkin regimental culture with some very likable characters.

Operation Iraqi Freedom in space.

SASR/ US Special forces in Iraq + Frank Herbert's Dune + Warhammer 40k = this book.

so essentially a damn good read!

Great book.

Was a very enjoyable book. Love learning more about the Kroot. Lots going on through out the whole story. But the end was a bit abrupt.
Would recommend highly

The good, the bad and the ugly

The good:
Some characters are quite enjoyable. Especially the young commissar who first appeared as a typical trigger-happy caricature of a political officer, but developed as complex and sympathetic if flawed character. The grumpy general actually very accurately depicted as someone who thinks that big stars on shoulder straps makes you smarter than everyone else: “I am the commanding officer and you are an idiot”. The “villain” sometimes is more sympathetic than the main characters.
Off-duty banter and interaction between the soldiers - very relatable.
The bad:
Dune references: a planet covered with sand, the blue-eyed noble natives with vicious streak, and the giant creatures whose… secretions is harvested by natives and the rest of the Galaxy desperately needs.
The ugly:
Are actually honestly trying to tell me that trained, veteran soldiers would:
1. Ride ahead of the main group without the order on the hostile territory? And the commanding officer wouldn’t immediately treat to shoot the idiot in the head?
2. Forgot to rescue their comrade who are actively being swallowed by the quicksand?
3. Approach intact vehicle without caution and had to rely on their squad leader to baby-sit them?
4. NOT CARRYING A BLOODY FLASHLIGHTS? Even a raw recruit would have some sort of light in the battlezone, especially on the planet where light-day is shorter than on Earth?
