About this listen
Book 8 of the Ciaphas Cain series.
The Imperium's least willing hero is thrown back into the fight against another alien threat as Commissar Cain returns to a frozen planet to battle an incursion by monstrous orks.
Listen to it because....
It's a rip-roaring action adventure tale with a few daring twists and a whole load of that typical Ciaphas Cain humour. The opening sequence—involving a dramatic star ship crash—is particularly exciting.
The story:
Imperial commissar Ciaphas Cain returns to Nusquam Fundumentibus to crush the ork attacks which have been plaguing the frozen planet. But when his ship crashes into the wastelands outside the capital, it disturbs a far greater enemy, one which has lain dormant under the permafrost since long before the Imperium came to this world and could now threaten the whole sector. Faced with ongoing greenskin raids and keeping an over-enthusiastic novice commissar under control, Cain must rally his men and confront whatever emerges from beneath the rapidly melting ice....
Written by Sandy Mitchell. Narrated by Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins, Emma Gregory, Toby Longworth, Andrew James Spooner. Run time 9 hours and 30 minutes.

Solid Ciaphus Cain adventure
If you made it this far through the Cain series then you know the drill. The voice acting as always was impeccable. The story was good but...... it recycles almost all it's plot from previous Cain books. Still well worth the listen though with clever well-described action, moments of bleak humour and above all Jurgen on a motorbike.

Its okay
Love it, not the best one. The story is quite straightforward, but enjoyable, nonetheless.
I would recommend this to any fan of the series.

Bit of a slow start and felt like a rushed ending, but overall a good listen.

Very good.
Hard to put my finger on it, but enjoyed it slightly less then the previous one. Still a great addition to the series.

Witty, easy listening with a not wholly predictable plot. Very enjoyable.
