Publisher's Summary
Book 10 in the Gaunt's Ghosts series.
Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt returns with the Tanith First to a world that he promised to save, only to find that years of war and the ever-present taint of Chaos may have damaged it beyond redemption.
Listen to it because....
It's a triumphant return to Gereon. Gaunt promised to liberate the planet from the forces of Chaos, and now he's back to keep his word. But as is ever the way for the Tanith, tragedy will be mingled with triumph as the war on Gereon grinds on...
The story:
Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt spent a year fighting as part of the underground resistance on the enemy-held world of Gereon. When he left, he promised that he would bring the forces of the Imperium to liberate Gereon's citizens from their oppressors. Now he has returned, a crusade army at his back, but he finds a world devastated by war and a people irrevocably damaged by the taint of Chaos. Now Gaunt must fight to save Gereon not only from the enemy, but from the Imperium itself.

Proper bludy guardsman
Grim Dark Sci-fi, really appreciate the various perspectives shown in this novel and the grim nature of the imperium of man

Brutal depiction of the Horrors of war in 40k
40k gets a bad rep for glorifying war (sometimes justifiably), but Dan Abnett consistently throughout the Gaunts Ghosts series counters this in its many nuances ways.
The Armour Of Contempt is, the most vividly horrifying exhibition of the futility of war in the epic scale of the Warhammer 40k Grim Dark Universe.
The book is dispersed across two story lines that work well to break up the intensity of the other, where that diverge early and tie together at the end. One continuing the narrative of Gaunts Ghosts, the other that could be it's own novel.

Two stories within this Gaunt ghost story
One following Dalin as a trooper that feels really like 15 hours really dark and gloom and the other one a more traditional gaunt ghost story closing the gereon saga. A good but not stellar story.

Dan Abnett makes everyone one of the ghost's feel like a real person.
The whole series is a work of brilliance, 100% recommended to anyone that is leaning into the Warhammer universe.
He writes the characters mannerisms as if he has had experience with defence personnel.

Continues a fantastic series
Aspects of this one were fantastic but if there is a criticism I felt it needed longer. Essentially two stories unfolding on the same world. Fun stuff with rifs on King’s killer car idea coupled with what felt like a description of too many horrible siege moments from ancient history in a 40k setting.
