Publisher's Summary

A Ciaphas Cain Anthology

This audiobook brings together 13 uproarious short stories and one novella, focused on Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium. His stories are celebrated as heroic propaganda pieces, but he’s simply trying to stay alive in a hostile galaxy.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Ciaphas Cain doesn’t mean to be a hero – he just can’t seem to help it. While trying to escape certain death, he somehow achieves unlikely victory after victory in the wildest and most dangerous warzones of the galaxy, to hilarious effect.

THE STORY

Ciaphas Cain is a true hero. Brave, stalwart, uncompromising, a cool head under fire...or is he? His legend has spread far and wide, but only Cain himself knows the truth behind his long and storied career.

Until now.

Inquisitor Amberley Vail once more delves into the Cain archive to present a selection of the man’s greatest and strangest exploits. From Cain and the Valhallan 597th hunting down the source of a warp-tainted infection that threatens to overwhelm the world of Lentonia with a starving horde of undead, to his early years with the Valhallan 12th Field Artillery fending off a tyranid invasion on a barren mining world, to the mysterious death of a fellow commissar that sees Cain’s life at risk (once again) as the killer’s attention turns to him...

As for the rest of the series. Great fun!

Same speakers as precious releases. Really fun and well worth the buy. Some of the less common stories which fill in some "off screen" bits in the books.

For the emperor

Excellent work providing short stories to flesh out the details of various events mentioned in passing during the main entries of the series. i especially enjoyed being able to hear stories from jergens point of view and see inside his head.

The anthology we needed

Great stories! It was nice to get some further insight into the life of Commissar Caine. I also loved the different perspective where Jurgen was the main character. The performances were excellent as usual.
