Fantastic collection of Warhammer 40,000 short stories featuring the infamous Ciaphas Cain.
Ciaphas Cain is a 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...
Written by Sandy Mitchell, this anthology comprises the novella Old Soldiers Never Die and thirteen short stories.
