De: Phil Kelly

Narrado por: Andrew Wincott, Helen McAlpine

Book 2 in the Farsight series.

The T'au Empire has long been plagued by the brutal orks—and Commander Farsight will see them destroyed. As his obsessive war against the greenskins escalates, other forces are at work, driving Farsight to an encounter that will change his view of the universe, the T'au Empire...and himself.

Listen to it because....

Discover the real story behind the defining moment of Commander Farsight's lif—and witness his struggles as he is torn between the Greater Good and a hideous truth about the nature of the galaxy.

The Story:

High Commander Farsight, fresh from his victory against the Imperium over the Damocles Gulf, looks to his borders and finds his old enemies—the savage and warlike orks—threatening to ravage the heart of the T’au Empire. Farsight’s obsessive crusade soon sees him locked in an escalating conflict with the greenskins, yet the hero of the Fire Caste will stop at nothing until their infestation is purged.

Foul forces are at work in the shadows, however—forces that will do whatever they can to see Farsight's military genius fall upon the daemon-haunted world of Arthas Moloch. Can Farsight stand in the face of the terrible truths he discovers there, and will the T’au Empire stand with him?

Written by Phil Kelly. Narrated by Andrew Wincott and Helen McAlpine. Running time 13 hours 3 minutes (approx).

Good book while painting minis

Voice acting was great. Had a named ork show up, which was cool. Lots of proper battles.

Oblatai is hilarious

The voice was unfitting especially so in book one
I need to write fifteen words for this review

Stunning and Amazing

i couldn't stop listening. Adventure, plots, Intrigue and loyalty. The universe is complicated indeed

Great Story

Loved the look into the start of Farsight's "awakening". Highly recommend for anyone who wants a look into Tau society.

A good listen for 40k Fans and Tau players.

One of the easiest listens yet. Excellent narration by Andrew and the segments with Helen giving voice to Vykola were top notch. Plenty of action and intrigue as Farsight struggles with various races and his own sense of justice vs the Tau'va.

Looking forward to more Tau content from Mr. Kelly

It's good to see Xeno perspectives every so often.

Full disclosure, I am not a Tau fan, but I did enjoy this tale of them. Having to contend with the unpredictable nature of both Chaos and Orks, Farsight's technology and grit makes him feel far more relateable than many actual humans from the setting. Lots of fighting, and I appreciated that as an Ork player. Also good dat dat Red Git learned how to use a real choppa.

high commander farsight story unfolds

I liked pretty much everything about this book. can't really think of any part I didn't like.
the story and the characters were great.
the books are: Damocles gulf -> farsight Chrisis of faith -> farsight empire of lies
listen to them all in sequence to be honest.

for the greater good

fantastic piece of literature. I enjoy the way the tau live with ethereals was enlightening.

Loved it!

The story, the characters, the voice actong and narration, everything was great. i loved it and i hope the author rights more of Farsight

A good follow up

Wrapped up loose ends and left me excited for the future. The writing at times was a little goofy and fight seems not the best but overall a recommended reading.
