Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium (Paperback)
Who is this for?
Readers who want to dive into the adventures of Commissar Ciaphas Cain and discover one of Warhammer 40,000’s most entertaining heroes
Step into the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, where duty, danger, and desperate battles are part of daily life. Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium collects the first adventures of the Imperium’s most celebrated – and self-proclaimed – hero. To his troops, Commissar Cain is a fearless leader and a shining symbol of courage. The truth, however, is often far more complicated, as Cain’s personal memoirs reveal a man whose primary goal is simply to stay alive.
Across the war zones of the galaxy, Cain finds himself facing everything from rampaging xenos to sinister heretics, often accompanied by unexpected humour, unlikely victories, and a reputation that only grows larger with every campaign. This omnibus is the perfect entry point to one of Warhammer 40,000’s most beloved characters.
