Story
Since the near-destruction of the Iron Hands, Raven Guard and Salamanders on Isstvan V, scattered warbands from these 'shattered Legions' have waged a guerrilla war on Horus' forces across the galaxy. Now, the crew of the Sisypheum are drawn into a covert assault on a hidden Alpha Legion outpost - an assault orchestrated by none other than the infamous warleader Shadrak Meduson himself. But what does Meduson really hope to make from such a bold move against the sons of Alpharius, arguably the undisputed masters of deception?

Now, cast adrift from the Emperor's light and hunted as heretics after their monstrous betrayal, the Night Lords clad themselves in symbols of death and fight the Long War, bringing pain and terror to all who worship the corpse-god of Terra.

Summary
Audiobook four of the Ciaphas Cain series.
Listen to it because:
It's a tale of Cain alone (well, except for Jurgen, but he hardly counts), surrounded by enemies and desperate for a good cup of tanna tea....
The story:
Once again, reluctant hero Commissar Cain is catapulted into glory in the fourth instalment of this tremendously popular series. Escaping from a disastrous space battle, the commissar and his malodorous sidekick Jurgen crash-land behind enemy lines. Even the sly Cain can't avoid a straight fight this time, as the only way out is to round up what few troops they can find and fight their way back to safety. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of barbaric alien orks stand in their way.

Another great Cain audio book 'nuff said
I love these series of books by Sandy Mitchell, painting a more realistic approach to the grim and dark universe of 40k. A light dusting of humour to keep it entertaining. Regarding the audio book, masterfully read, with each character being brought to life by the different narrators.
A must read for any 40k of sci-fi lovers out there. keep them coming

Review
((spoilers))
this particular story in the series, I feel really picks up in the later half, it seems to all come together once he starts to gain a little army.
these books pretty much never failed to be a delight, at least not so far, and although it had slow moments this one really give you a feel for the characters younger years and the naivety of youth.
all in all it's a pretty good story and I look forward to reading the rest of the series 👍

Pulp scifi at its best
Sandy Mitchell knows how to write a pulp story as well as the best, and the comissar Cain series is always a great show of it. the voice acting in this series is also truly top notch, like one of the better audio dramas available.
