This one follows our old acquaintance, Callidus assassin Sycarox, as we find her on yet another long-term mission, this time identifying and zeroing on the Tau empire sympathizers on the Imperial world.
What starts as a rather straight forward coup de grace ends up in desperate combat in the governor's office, in the middle of the public address.
Same as with the other short story (Live Wire) there is certain open-ending here too. Mysterious person with what might be categorized as vendetta against our hero. Man, I truly hope these endings lead to more goodies :)
Action scenes, that feeling of long term infiltration and unexpected turn of events that just created mess out of everything..... it is all great. Author managed to give us that edge of the seat feeling of the deep cover operative and her actions in unforgiving world of Warhammer 40k.
Highly recommended to all fans of spy/assassin stories.

The city of Veridian is wracked by unrest as the sermons of Confessor Illsandor spread the insidious influence of the xenos T’au and set the city’s factions against each other. Sent to infiltrate the city and find a way to remove and impersonate the Confessor, the assassin Sycorax closes in on her target only to face a last-minute challenge that forces her to question her mission. The story starts off as Sycorax is almost ready to strike, introducing key characters before revealing the assassin and ramping up the action. There’s a lot more to the story than just the fighting, and it definitely feels like an introduction to a wider story, but taken on its own it’s pacy, cleverly constructed and brilliantly entertaining.
