Summary
Book 2 in the Farsight series.
The T'au Empire has long been plagued by the brutal orks—and Commander Farsight will see them destroyed. As his obsessive war against the greenskins escalates, other forces are at work, driving Farsight to an encounter that will change his view of the universe, the T'au Empire...and himself.
Listen to it because....
Discover the real story behind the defining moment of Commander Farsight's lif—and witness his struggles as he is torn between the Greater Good and a hideous truth about the nature of the galaxy.
The Story:
High Commander Farsight, fresh from his victory against the Imperium over the Damocles Gulf, looks to his borders and finds his old enemies—the savage and warlike orks—threatening to ravage the heart of the T’au Empire. Farsight’s obsessive crusade soon sees him locked in an escalating conflict with the greenskins, yet the hero of the Fire Caste will stop at nothing until their infestation is purged.
Foul forces are at work in the shadows, however—forces that will do whatever they can to see Farsight's military genius fall upon the daemon-haunted world of Arthas Moloch. Can Farsight stand in the face of the terrible truths he discovers there, and will the T’au Empire stand with him?
Written by Phil Kelly. Narrated by Andrew Wincott and Helen McAlpine. Running time 13 hours 3 minutes (approx).

Farsight at its best
A great insight into the Tau, much darker then previous stories and who does not like Farsight and his commanders. I cannot wait for the next book.

Fantastic
I enjoyed the first Farsight book and this is even better. Great story, well read, and the pace is excellent. Loved finding out more about the T'au, as well as seeing the Orcs from inside for once.

Sometimes sluggish but overall good story
An interesting xenos point of view. several times I had to stop the book and look into starting either a Tau or Ork army. The big battle scenes are a bit slow and quickly overstay their welcome but the character scenes more than makes up for it.

Fantastic read
Absolutely loving this Farsight series! I hope it carries to another book and we can see the farsight enclaves in the “modern” era of the 41st millennium

Better than the first book
Empire of Lies is the second instalment to the Farsight series,
Is short, it’s got less chitter-chatter, and more shooter-splatter elements. That said, I found myself zoning out, having to re-listen to sections - just as I did with the first instalment - I found the story not so gripping as expected.
That said, that said, the story delivers great T’au lore, and I will be buying Shadowsun to carry on feeding my lore-whore habits.
In short, not a bad pair of books. Buy it if you’re interested in the Farsight story.

chad blueboy kills all and rebels
Great followup to the first book. Farsight is such a cool character, and the supporting cast does not disappoint, especially the inquisitior .

For the Enclaves
very well written, great to have a set of books that have someone doubt the Tau within their own ranks.

More Farsight
One of my favourite characters and it was good to see him finally understanding what the ethereals are and that is basically not good for the Tau
