Stephen Perring (Cain), Penelope Rawlins (Amberley Vail), Emma Gregory (Jenit Sulla), Richard Reed, and Andrew James Spooner. Plot Summary
As always, Cain’s primary motivation is not the glory of the God-Emperor, but his own survival.

The Cain series has a specific formula, and Choose Your Enemies follows it faithfully. However, it distinguishes itself by the nature of the antagonists. While previous books focused heavily on Orks ( Death or Glory ) or Tyranids ( For the Emperor ), this one plays with the psychological horror of the Genestealer Cult. The audiobook excels here because the paranoia is palpable.

The story quickly spirals out of control when Cain and his faithful (and terrifyingly capable) aide, Gunner Jurgen, find themselves caught between the machinations of a rogue planetary governor, an insidious Genestealer Cult infestation, and the ever-present threat of the Chaos-corrupted. The title is a direct nod to Cain’s core philosophy: when forced to fight, always choose an enemy that looks slightly less terrifying than the other option. Naturally, he chooses poorly, and the Imperium is saved as a result. The audiobook excels here because the paranoia is palpable
