Description

The plot starts in traditional manner with what initially looks to be a simple mission for Cain and the Valhallan 597th putting down Eldar pirates attacking some Emperor-forsaken dirtball becoming much more serious when Cain and Jurgen inadvertantly stumble upon the activities of a Chaos cult, with evidence that their corruption has spread to the nearby and vital forge world of Ironfound. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events. Then there’s Inquisitor Vale’s footnotes, which dance between pointing out people’s foibles, and wondering if Cain isn’t the precise man the Imperium needs. Michael Pollan, known for his best-selling nonfiction audio, including The Omnivores Dilemma and How to Change Your Mind, conceived and wrote Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World as an Audible Original.

The munitions Ironfound produces are vital to the Imperial war effort in the subsector; its safety must be assured at all costs. The ability for the narrative to interject accounts from other sources was always a major plus within prior tales, but here it is used to far more effectively flesh out the world. This life-changing Audible Original features a powerful mix of one-on-one life-coaching sessions and a personal narrative with vital take-aways that you can start using immediately. Random House presents the audiobook edition of Ikigai by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, read by Noako Mori.Sir Michael Caine knows a thing or two about gangs: whether that’s joining one as a kid, or playing them in movies for over 50 years. Scattered throughout are in-universe reports on military matters, local history, and anti-xenos propaganda.

When Billy can’t find the informant, he wonders if Kate is secretly harboring her, since the two grew close during Kate's weeks undercover.I really like the humor all around the book, some of the explanation passages or some descriptive areas got me nearly bored but overall the reading experience has been positive and entertaining. As battle explodes across the planet, Ciaphas Cain and his regiment come up against allies and enemies old and new in their fight for victory against the forces of Chaos. It's one of the strongest stories of late, and a major improvement over the last two books in the series. While hardly the worst example put onto paper, the efforts to reflect Cain's less formulaic style often interferes with the finer parts of pacing a book.

Cause I swear I laughed out loud everytime Cain looked and Jurgen and Jurgen would just lift the Melta like "How about now? Following multiple engagements against the Eldar, the Valhallan 597th are dispatched to Ironfound amid a Chaos uprising. The ensemble of secondary characters and mixed regimental figures always helped to bolster the stories. On a serious note, I feel like if Mitchell had a quick snippet of Cain and Amberley's hinted at hanky panky it would've been incredibly entertaining. Someone probably should have mentioned that to the Black Library folks at GW, since I imagine the omnibuses get hit with a lot of flack as a result.It's not hard to see why - Cain is Blackadder meets Flashman, with all the snark and intelligent humour involved applied to M41. In this story the Eldar are his first foe but it's not long before he uncovers a chaos cult on the moon and an old inquisitorial friend reappears. Along the way, they’ll unlock wisdom for those of us navigating our own coupledoms, and for those still seeking their perfect match. Anyway, Cain is cynical and sardonic, ready to dispense quips at anyone's expense (including his own), and the footnotes (written in-universe by his love interest Amberley Vail) take all the potshots at Cain's expense he doesn't take, and anyone else's besides. While it disguised this well for some time, toward start of the third trilogy these problems became much more obvious.
