About this listen

Book 11 in the Ciaphas Cain Series

Ciaphas Cain is nearing retirement, but of course his fate leads him into a twisted web of deception, corruption, and an unfortunate amount of mortal peril. This time, it’s the Adeptus Mechanicus throwing spanners into his future plans of heroic rest and relaxation.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The darkly hilarious saga of a reluctant hero continues – packed with all the action, wit, and hijinks you’ve come to expect from Ciaphas and his comrades.

THE STORY

When the flow of desperately needed weapons for the Astra Militarum slows to nothing from a newly founded forge world, there’s only one man able and (un)willing to investigate… Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium.

With Cain’s desperately sought-after retirement on the line, the Imperium’s most reluctant commissar must navigate insidious assassination attempts against his person, legions of mutinous skitarii, heresy within the upper echelons of the Adeptus Mechanicus itself… and a hidden foe, pulling the strings, with an agenda that could threaten the future of Imperial rule in the Damocles Gulf.

Written by Sandy Mitchell. Narrated by Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins, Christopher Tester and Andrew James Spooner. Running time 8 hours and 36 minutes (approx).

This is the best Ciaphas Cain novel for a while, kept me hooked and seem to pass so quickly. They are all entertaining books if not a little bit lighthearted but a great escape from some of the other ultra grim books in The Dark Imperium. This one is really quite funny, especially the banter between Cain and the utterly brilliant Jurgen (the second best character in Warhammer after Fabius Bile). I often call my husband Jurgen and it’s a good thing he doesn’t know why ( he is scruffy and stinky but fiercely loyal😂). The narrators really seemed to be enjoying themselves and Stephen Perring is just perfect in this book. And of course the ultra charming Cain gets the lady in the end- he really is so likeable and the Cain books are a refreshing change from the bolter books (which I love too). Highly recommend!
