On an Imperial outpost world on the fringes of tau space, the renowned Commissar Ciaphas Cain and his fractious regiment of Valhallan Guard, newly created from the remnants of two devastated units, find themselves in the middle of a war.

As the Astra Militarum struggle to contain worldwide civil insurrection, can the wily Commissar Cain identify the real villain before the planet is lost to the Imperium forever?

I listened to the audio book on my 2 hour long drive to and from my job and I was always looking forward to the next opportunity to listen to more. Cain's stories are a bit more light hearted and witty when compared to the grim dark novels you typically find in WH40k setting, but that doesn't make them any less serious or engaging. There is still a lot of action that goes along with the politics. I found the pacing to be very good between action and exposition. I liked the characters as well and felt like they all had good chemistry with each other.

Also the performances from the narrators were spot on and made the characters seem all the more real. I highly recommend this for anyone who is interested in WH40k novels and need a place to start or are interested in the stories of Commissar Cain. However like most novels it assumes you have at least some precursory knowledge of the races, weapons, vehicles, etc. If you are a complete newbie you might be spending some time scouring the wiki to fill in the gaps.

Definitely moving onto the second novel.

A great introductory story to Commissar Cain
