About this listen

A T'au Empire novel

Fresh from his victory on Arkunasha, the young Commander Farsight leads a crusade to reclaim colonies lost to mankind's Imperium. But stiff resistance will test him to his limits and beyond.

Listen to it because: Phil Kelly continues his look at the life of Commander Farsight with his first campaign against the full might of the Imperium and shows how the T'au Empire's technological superiority fares against Imperial grit.

The story: the t'au are a mysterious alien race, diametrically opposed to the Imperium of Man in every possible way - in their mastery of technology, methods of warfare and social structure. Yet in galactic terms they are a young race, and naïve when it comes to the manipulations of Chaos. When promising young Commander Farsight is promoted to lead a crusade across the Damocles Gulf to reclaim the T'au Empire's lost colonies from mankind, the mood is one of optimism. With their mighty fleet, and superior weapons and machines, how can their endeavour possibly fail? However, despite a parade of early successes, Commander Farsight soon faces enemies he wasn't anticipating and finds not only his courage but also his soul tested to the very limit.

Written by Phil Kelly. Narrated by Helen McAlpine and Andrew Wincott.

More Far sight please less marines

As a fan of the imperium and having and having branched out into listening to non human BL books i was pleasantly surprised at this. A great insight into the mindset of the Tau. I'm now considering a farsight enclave army..... Not Tau. Not a fan of the Etherials. The only gripe i have is the scar lords. Felt like skipping any chapters that where about them. Definitely not a fan. Wasn't crazy with the voices chosen fir them. But over all. Decent book. I want more.

Great listen

Crisis of Faith was my first listen of a T’au story. Very, very well written and exceptionally well narrated. The inclusion of a female voice for some characters really helped the story. Highly recommend.

10/10 For the greater good 👍

I haven't listened to a book this good by GW, and I hope they record the second soon.

A refreshing change

I usually listen to Space Marine stories so it was nice to see the universe through a different race. The characters are well developed, and the story flows nicely. Really enjoyed this book.

Amazing and exciting

There's little more I can say than how amazing the story is, Phill Kelly really understands the character of Commander Farsight and this is one of the few of his books where it doesn't feel like the Tau can sit on the same level as the Imperium, that they are a genuine player in the great game the Chaos Gods and the Emperor are playing. I was still not happy that it constantly seemed like the Humans had to appear smarter or better than the tau and any wins the tau got wasn't because they were stronger, smarter or similar instead it was because the tau did something unexpected, or had an unfair advantage or the humans let them win or get the upper hand.

Like most of Phill Kelly's writing it is marred by his inability to give the tau a genuine win.

Engaging from start to end! Wincott is a treat.

Went into this without expectation, to be delivered perhaps my favourite story in the 41st millennium. Andrew Wincott's performance gave passion and feeling to all players in this drama, and helped to build dynamism and thrilling scenes, even in dialogue-heavy sections. Phil Kelly's exploration of different perspectives kept me engaged throughout, and has me intrigued about a space of the 40k narrative I previously did not have much affection for. Excellent read/listen, can't recommend enough!

Really like the Tau

Always been a Space Marine or Imperial Guard fan. but what a bunch of Xenophobic wombles we are.

I Kinda want the Tau to succeed.

Oh the Heresy

Get it read !

I must have read about 30 or 40 books from Warhammer 40K I must have returned at least 10. The one I love ...I really love ...This fits in that section.

I'm the guy that doesn't like bolter porn
I dislike the majority of the books after book 5 of the Horus heresy
I send my back any siege of Terra books that are filler and chaf
I love Manflayer, Eisenhorn, Gideon, Bequin!, Luther and Bellerasious Cal

So now you know I like a really good story, great imagination and great characters and you have it all in this book. I can't wait to see the rest.
