In the 41st millennium, Commissar Ciaphas Cain, hero of the Imperium, is an inspiration to his men. At least, that is what the propaganda would have you believe. Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium (Paperback) (Anglais) is the first Ciaphas Cain omnibus, written by Sandy Mitchell, gathering three novels and three short stories.

Enjoy tall tales of adventure and derring-do in the memoirs of Commissar Cain, annotated by a sarcastic inquisitor. Tau, necrons and Chaos cultists all fall before the self-proclaimed hero of the Imperium, in a series famous for its humour and its unforgettable narrator.

In the war torn future of the 41st millennium, Ciaphas Cain is respected by his peers and admired by the troops he serves alongside. The reality is very different, for Cain 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 a healthy dose of 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. A light hearted and very entertaining side of the grim darkness of the far future.

Sandy Mitchell’s Ciaphas Cain series is one of the most popular in the history of Black Library, loved for its wit and its very human hero. This omnibus is the ideal starting point to discover the adventures of the commissar and his loyal aide, and a great read for anyone who wants a lighter take on Warhammer 40,000.
