About this listen
Book seven of the Ciaphas Cain series
Legendary Commissar Ciaphas Cain joins a group of Reclamators Space Marines aboard a space hulk but soon finds himself alone and faced with both tyranids and orks....
Listen to it because: it's a typically sideways look at the mighty Adeptus Astartes (albeit a pretty unusual chapter), viewing them through the eyes of the wry and dry Commissar Cain.
The story: Commissar Cain is called to duty once more, saving a governor's daughter from a planet overrun by rebels. The uprising hides something far more sinister however - genestealer hybrids! The search for the source of the alien threat leads Cain to a drifting space hulk - a far safer place than beside the obsessed governor's daughter. But when the Reclamator Space Marines suffer devastating losses at the hands of the Great Devourer, Cain and his trusty aide Jurgen must go it alone. With the tyranids waking and a group of stow away orks on the loose, there are no safe places to run or hide, and Cain must use all his ingenuity and cunning to escape the space hulk alive.
Written by Sandy Mitchell. Narrated by Helen McAlpine, Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins and Andrew James Spooner.

Entertaining.
These novel are up there with the best from black library and the narrator is brilliant.

Finest indeed
You would think Mitchell would have run out of ways to tell this story but no.

Another fantastic story and performance
The more i read this series, the more im drawn in. Ive always found humans to be bland in this setting, pompous douche bags blindly following a church of misunderstood philosophy. But having a character who is doing his damned best to try and survive day to day despite a universe pitched against him makes it much more relatable, and Jurgen is possibly the greatest side character in any genre ive read.

All around thoroughly enjoyed
The narrators are excellent throughout this series so far. The story in the first half was entertaining, the twists in the second half were unexpected but not incredulous.
My favourite from the Cain archive so far

As ever, fun story and fantastic performance.
All of the Cain novels manage to grab the feel and depth of the 40k Universe and give it a human side through and often relatable and flawed hero. The performance is always great and does Sandy's work justice.

This was different but good
I will come right out and say it that I don’t like romance in my sci-fi. While it was kept to a minimum it did nothing for the story. Fortunately the rest of the story was good and of course the reading performances were fantastic.
