Ciaphas Cain: Warhammer 40,000, Book 11

By: Sandy Mitchell

Narrated by: Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins, Christopher Tester, Andrew James Spooner

Book 11 in the Ciaphas Cain Series

Ciaphas Cain is nearing retirement, but of course his fate leads him into a twisted web of deception, corruption, and an unfortunate amount of mortal peril. This time, it’s the Adeptus Mechanicus throwing spanners into his future plans of heroic rest and relaxation.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The darkly hilarious saga of a reluctant hero continues – packed with all the action, wit, and hijinks you’ve come to expect from Ciaphas and his comrades.

THE STORY

When the flow of desperately needed weapons for the Astra Militarum slows to nothing from a newly founded forge world, there’s only one man able and (un)willing to investigate… Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium.

With Cain’s desperately sought-after retirement on the line, the Imperium’s most reluctant commissar must navigate insidious assassination attempts against his person, legions of mutinous skitarii, heresy within the upper echelons of the Adeptus Mechanicus itself… and a hidden foe, pulling the strings, with an agenda that could threaten the future of Imperial rule in the Damocles Gulf.

Written by Sandy Mitchell. Narrated by Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins, Christopher Tester and Andrew James Spooner. Running time 8 hours and 36 minutes (approx).

Excellent, as always!

One of the best series in the 40k universe continues….a fun ride with excellent, easy to listen to writing.

A little bit more unusual Cain

One of the new Cain stories that manages to add a bit of spice to possibly tired, but still entertaining formula. Nothing particularly surprising, besides rather unusual for this series ending, as well as very welcome addition of more Jurgen! For fans it is a must read, and for newcomers it might be still greatly entertaining, albeit it spoils quite a few of the previous novels. Also, performances of the main narrator, but also the side ones, are as per usual for Ciaphas Cain phenomenal.

Fantastic

Another amazing addition to the Cain library that keeps you entertained the entire story and nah surprise you a couple times.

Classic Cain

A slight change of the classic Cain book but still great as always! Can't wait for the next one!

constantly good

I have loved every book in this series so far not a bad one in it! Cain I think has became my fave 40k character!
