The Austrian government has been the antagonist for most of the series thus far, the HRE representing the ogre of fanatical Catholicism. Now we see how a change in the leadership and a change in policy can BEGIN to shift attitudes and positions in positive directions. But, we also see how resistant people in general are to rapid change. The “up-timers” are no welcomed by cheering throngs as liberators, and technology is not the great equalizer of society as so many less-informed authors of time travel novels seem to think it is.
If you are looking for military actions and battles, skip this book, you will get the gist of the events from other works.
If you are a fan of social change, cultural psychology, and court intrigue, this is the book for you! Either way, a fantastic addition to the Ring Of Fire series!

Perfect mixture of grimdark and humor, the quintessential essence of the Commissar Cain series. It has Tyranids, assassins, romance, and unwilling adventures of derring do!

My favorite of the Cain series: quintessential Imperial Guard humor mixed with action, and the appropriate amount of seriousness as behooves the grimdark setting

The 1632 universe is an opus of political science and essentially the story of the clash of ideas, as well as technology. But this book shows those same ideas clashing in the minds of ordinary people, not kings or emperors. That’s what makes this particular story so compelling and powerful

Fantastic work, with Cain puttering around with his usual shenanigans, and Sandy doing the usual incredible job of making the character look simultaneously heroic and ridiculous. 10/10, five stars, and all the other accolades I can give them!

At first it seems to be a delightful but random conglomeration of stories in the Ring of Fire, involving farmers and sheep. And then before you know it, it has spiraled into international politics in the best way possible.
The narrator is equally at ease with WV hillbilly accents and cultured Europeans. 5/5 stars

Orks va Aeldari - two sides of the exact same coin in 40k. A book that explores the obvious differences and the surprising similarities between these two fan-favorited cultures.
The narrator has the Ork characters perfectly, but struggles at the Aeldar segments. But still, 9 out of 10 stars.

Two contemporaries of the Emperor who can talk of science and history but neither of whom are true believers in their respective faiths…But each one hates the other's position so much to not help the other.*Chef’s Kiss
Most Mechanicus books are too encumbered with techno-babble that encumbers the casual reader, or drags from otherwise action-packed stories.
THIS book perfectly balances the two, going back and forth between Bile’s Chaos and Cawl’s Mechanicus factions to where each section of the book complements the other.
