Black Library Ciaphas Cain: The Anthology

READ 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 victory after unlikely 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. Follow Cain and the Valhallan 597th as they hunt the source of a warp-tainted infection threatening to overwhelm Lentonia with a horde of undead. Explore his early years with the Valhallan 12th Field Artillery, fending off a tyranid invasion on a barren mining world. Discover how Cain reacts when the mysterious death of a fellow commissar sees his life at risk (once again) as the killer’s attention turns to him…
