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...

A must for Cain enthusiasts
Ever wonder about all those references to Cains past life or the time in between books? Wonder no more! At last you can "read" them all for yourself and enjoy some of the moments that made Cain the Hero of the imperium he is

Blackadder goes to the 41st millennium.
Love this, a real refreshing take on life in the Imperium. So reminiscent of Blackadder goes forth at times it's so well written and performed. A bit of light in the grim dark of the 41st millennium.

The use of jurgens point of view did add some extra perspective to the overarching story

Another top notch entry.
A nice collection of short stories and novellas. A few staring just Jurgen, which are a treat. A particular favourite moment was one involving a Nurgle cult and Jurgen, who upon stumbling across Jurgen pay him no attention due them thinking he’s one of them because of his smell.
As usual Ste is on top form portraying Caiphas and Jurgen.

I thought you couldn't get better than Gaunt
having consumed the Gaunt's Ghost books (also excellent) I started with the Ciaphas novels and now have a new favourite hero of the Imperium. May the Emperor be praised.

everything I wanted
much much better than the short stories, the same voices this time and the stories (even the short ones) seem to have a reason to exist rather than the cash grab the short stories are

Always an amazing listen
I really enjoy these short stories, they have humour and action and a generous helping of Ciaphas' accidental heroism
