About this deal

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! 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. In the depths of the mines beneath the surface Cain unexpectedly finds yet more enemies – Chaos cultists, whose appearance threatens the nearby forge world of Ironfound – but also find himself reacquainted with an old ally as well. Access to the Plus Catalogue—thousands of Audible Originals, audiobooks and podcasts, including exclusive series.

The ensemble of secondary characters and mixed regimental figures always helped to bolster the stories. 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. Random House presents the audiobook edition of Ikigai by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, read by Noako Mori. The stories themselves were far from bad - and many of Cain's most famous moments come from the second omnibus - but the magic seemed to be wearing a bit thin. Part of that is down to the choice of placement within the narrative, but the details themselves have also become much more substantial.The 9 Step Negativity Detox is a powerful series that will teach you the nine simple steps to free you from the unnecessary causes of negativity in your life. Set as usual at an indeterminate date (but definitely pre-Dark Imperium) this sees Cain and the Valhallan 597th deployed to the ice world Drechia, bolstering the defences against eldar pirates. Do you feel weighed down by stress and pressure, held back by judgement and lack of opportunity, and critcised by everyone – including yourself? While this might sound like hyperbole, if you compare the first three books with Death or Glory, you might notice that one is more engaging than the other. Commissar Cain and the 597th Valhallan's have been sent to an ice bound mining moon to help the local defences forces stave off attacks by the Eldar.

laced through everything is a very British sense of humour that holds the whole thing together marvellously.As always, there are hints alerting the careful reader as to what is really going in, but as the memoirs are, if not quite stream of consciousness, definitely overwhelmingly cast in Cain's personality, it's easy enough to miss those hints (as Cain does). As a result, while it still offers commentary on a broader event, the story feels far more complete and better executed.
