READ IT BECAUSE Enjoy tall tales of adventure and derring-do in Commissar Cain’s memoirs (annotated by a sarcastic inquisitor). Tau, necrons and Chaos cultists all fall before the self-proclaimed hero of the Imperium…
THE STORY In the war torn future of the 41st Millennium Commissar Ciaphas Cain, hero of the Imperium, is respected by his peers and an inspiration to his men – at least that’s what the propaganda would have you believe. The reality is very different, for Ciaphas is simply looking for an easy life and a way to stay out of peril. However, fate has a habit of throwing him into the deadliest situations, and luck (mixed with self preservation) always manages to pull him through and onto the loftiest of pedestals. To survive Commissar Cain must dodge, bluff and trick his way out of trouble, even if it increases his status beyond his control!
Written by Sandy Mitchell. This omnibus edition contains the novels For the Emperor, Caves of Ice and The Traitor's Hand, along with the short stories 'Fight or Flight', 'Echoes of the Tomb' and 'The Beguiling'.
