Summary
Book 2 of the Ciaphas Cain series.
When Commissar Ciaphas Cain and his regiment of Valhallan Guardsmen are deployed to the ice world of Simia Orichalcae, his expectation of an uneventful tour of duty is suddenly interrupted.
Listen to it because:
While his Valhallan regiment are happy on an ice world, Cain's biggest concern is freezing to death...until orks start attacking, and then an ancient threat emerges from the depths. Stuck between two enemies, Cain needs to stop playing the hero and actually be one.
The story:
On the ice world of Simia Orichalcae a spate of mysterious disappearances is causing unrest amongst the mine workers, and, as senior officer of the Astra Militarum, Commissar Ciaphas Cain is nominated to investigate. Unbeknownst to him, the planet is right in the path of a major ork incursion, and, as the savage greenskins attack, a malevolent evil begins to stir deep in the ice caves.
Written by Sandy Mitchell. Narrated by Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins and Emma Gregory.

More Caiaphas Cain audio books, please! 😁
Great fun book, excellently narrated. Loved it. Caiaphas Cain is the most entertaining Warhammer 40k character. Can't wait for more in the series even though I've read all the books!

Blackadder in Space
So yeah, the cowardly Commissar Cain is deployed to a warzone and his efforts to save his own skin and avoid combat land him into even deeper trouble, which he escapes by the skin of his teeth furthering his (unearned) reputation as a HERO OF THE IMPERIUM in the process.
They're all the same plot, but at the end of the day they're charming, funny, well written, and a lighter view of the often oppressively grim 40k universe. The narrative structure of the books being Cain's own memoirs with added footnotes and annotations from his longtime paramour (and Inquisitor) is extremely engaging.
The best bit is, despite his own words and protestations, Cain does perform genuinely heroic actions, and he's nothing like as cowardly and selfish as he believes himself to be.

Cain strikes again
I have been a fan of the Cain novels for some time and to hear them performed only improves them. Can't wait for the next one!

In the 41st millennium their is humour!
As much as as I enjoy the books by sandy Mitchell I really really enjoy the audiobooks, the story is typical Cain and Jurgen which is pretty damned good in itself but the narrators lift it to a whole new level

truly gripping
some wonderful twists and turns, the unwitting and unwilling hero is heroic as always, I would have loved more of the relationship to develop between the inquisitor though, as well as secondary characters in general which seemed to be somewhat lacking, still, excellent as always

Story line
Easy to follow storyline and amazing dialogue by Stephen peering and Penelope rawlines. Only bad thing is I didn’t feel like ciaphas Cain was really endanger at any point during the story. Takes a bit of the thrill out of it.
