About this listen

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...

Witty, funny, entertaining, and just great. Atypical reading (or listening) for a Warhammer novel, but quite refreshing. My first time listening to this narrator, and he didn't disappoint. Hearing his Orkish "WAAAAGH" made me laugh to the point that I spat out my sweet tea.

Entertaining

This was a great surprise, and is easily one of my favorite storylines in 40K

Outstanding!!!!

This is the first book of commissar Cain that I listened too and I loved every minute of it. Listening to 40K can get depressing after awhile. And it was really refreshing to hear a more lighthearted adventure series. The reading was great, the stories excellent. I look forward to more of his exploits

A wonderful introduction to character

Cain is my kind of guy.

Short, digestable segments of the hero of the imperium's tales. Perfect for when you dont have the time or attention span for a full book or novella

tastes great, less filling

This is a great collection of the short stories that are often referenced in passing in the larger stories. The first story is the introduction of Ciaphas Cain (and Jurgen). All the stories are great and well written.

Fantastic book but the sudden stop with audio commentary just ruined the tone and pace of some of the stories.

Perfect voice acting for an amazing story

Excellent short stories. On the one hand I wished they were longer. On the other they were all the meat and potatoes of a Cain story with none of the side tracking.

Great!
