Ciaphas Cain: Choose Your Enemies: Choose Your Enemies (Volume 10)

Product Information

the conclusions to the plot of this book took maybe 50 pages and was very much rushed and was not as fleshed out as I wanted. This does not mean they are bad books - if anything, they're quite fun, a bit of literary comfort food. The a mix of familiar faces offered more opportunities for jokes, stories and material for Cain's narration to work with. There she is given the chance to undo her regrets and try out each of the other lives she might have lived. In any case, all of the Cain stories are written as memoirs of a self-loathing hero, who is convinced he is nothing more than a craven coward.

This is something of a running joke within the series, but this is a novel which has better utilised this than all others to really flesh out the setting. This is worth mentioning as, comparing Choose Your Enemies to The Greater Good highlights a sense of renewed energy behind the writing. laced through everything is a very British sense of humour that holds the whole thing together marvellously. It's not hard to see why - Cain is Blackadder meets Flashman, with all the snark and intelligent humour involved applied to M41. It doesn't feel as if the world is bending over backward to have him find a role within the larger story.This book deals with the eldar (the smug and condescending pointy-ears), with Cain and the 597th Valhallan Regiment aiding the local Planetary Defense Force in keeping them from taking over the planet. A resolve to be a giant among men, to conquer, plunder and seize the greatness that he thinks is his right.

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit!The taverna is the only place that Kostas and Defne can meet in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic and chilli peppers, creeping honeysuckle, and in the centre, growing through a cavity in the roof, a fig tree.

The fig tree is there, too, when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, when the teenagers vanish.

In this controversial and exciting listen, Pollan explores caffeine’s power as the most-used drug in the world - and the only one we give to children (in soda pop) as a treat. 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. While one or two excellent ones - especially just as Cain discovers just what the enemy's plan is - which work in its favour, there are far fewer here to compliment the overall humour.

In Love Is Not Enough, Mark’s first Audible Original, you’ll follow five real people over the course of six months as they navigate f--ked up romantic situations, ranging from dating app addiction to marital affairs to absurd fantasies. Yes, this might not be a bolter porn novel, but when it's based around war, the effectiveness of storytelling in war needs to be commented upon. It's one of the strongest stories of late, and a major improvement over the last two books in the series. Following multiple engagements against the Eldar, the Valhallan 597th are dispatched to Ironfound amid a Chaos uprising.Even without the commentary angle, however, the actual fight scenes are geared far more toward spectacle or large scale events over all else.
