The Greater Good

Ciaphas Cain: Warhammer 40,000, Book 9

De: Sandy Mitchell

Narrado por: Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins, Matthew Hunt, Andrew James Spooner, John Banks, Tara Rawson

Book 9 in the Ciaphas Cain series.

Hero of the Imperium, the legendary Commissar Ciaphas Cain, is back in the field, and this time he's facing down both the T'au Empire and the tyranids.

Listen to it because....

Treacherous t'au, terrifying tyranids and the irascible Commissar Cain – it all adds up to a classic tale from the master of Warhammer 40,000 comedy-action.

The story:

When the world of Quadravidia comes under attack by the insidious tau, only one man can defeat the aliens and save the planet in the Emperor's name – the legendary Hero of the Imperium, Commissar Ciaphas Cain. When the aliens call for a ceasefire, Cain expects the worst, and his fears are answered in the form of the dread menace of the tyranids. As a hive fleet approaches Quadravidia, Cain must try to forge an alliance between the Imperium and the t'au – but can he truly trust the inscrutable xenos?

GREAT GREAT GREAT

We need book 10 ASAP!


Cain is the greatest warhammer creation aside from AoS Gotrek and Felix

incredible book

thoroughly enjoyed this production. Cain's personality clearly came through. really loved his presence and presentation.

The Greater Good

Sandrine Mitchell did it again with a very good story for another of Ciaphas Cains aventures this time with the Storyline bordering on a temporary Alliance with the Tau to fight a Tyrannid invasion.

Cain is back,still great.

If you've gotten this far into the series, you know what to expect. I felt this one was a little weak compared to previous ones, just due to how it wandered a little bit here and there from the main plot. The whole subplot with the tau... Wasn't really there in the latter half of the book. The issues that i have had in other cain books were actually slightly better, with the things that cain does over and over like saying "had i know then" and itching his palms coming less often.

The voice acting has been getting better and better in these books, with more voices for characters, the audio quality is crisp and well done. over all, if you are a cain fan, this book won't disappoint.

Great Cain Book, hardly any Tau

Another great Ciaphas Cain story, but despite the title and cover art the story the Tau only really make a few brief cameos. You go several hours without even hearing about them at all

Wanted more Tau

Misleading tital and cover, barley any time spent with the only 2 fire warriors.

Underwhelming but I can't hate it.

Here's the thing
This book was written in 2013. Mitchell was probably running out of ideas and back then the universe was more static. But if GW had asked us to write a 9th Ciaphas Cain book, I doubt any of us could have done any better in those days.
Because all that being said, its SUPER weird this book is called 'The Greater Good' because the Tau are barely in it. When Cain met a human emissary born in the Tau Empire I thought we get to see him go down to a Tau planet and maybe have some of his preconceptions about the galaxy challenged. But instead we get another Genestealer "Who Done It":, which, while fun, we've seen Cain do SEVERAL times before.

Another great Ciaphas Cain book.

We need all of them on audible please...just keep them coming that's all I ask!
Great voice work as normal

If its Ciaphus Cain its good.

I've listened to all the Cain books so far and they are all just great.

Another great one!

Tau and guard against the great devourers! Check it out! Absolutely, amazing story telling!
