Description
Experience the first legendary adventure of the Imperium’s most reluctant hero in a stunning premium format with Ciaphas Cain: For the Emperor (Illustrated and Annotated Hardback). Written by Sandy Mitchell, this deluxe collector’s edition celebrates one of the most beloved entries in the Black Library catalogue. The narrative follows Commissar Ciaphas Cain as he is deployed to a tense Imperial outpost world on the fringes of T’au space. Tasked with maintaining order amongst fractious Valhallan regiments while navigating diplomatic friction with the expanding alien empire, Cain wants nothing more than to secure a safe, comfortable posting far from the front lines—yet his uncanny luck and survival instincts constantly thrust him directly into the path of accidental glory.
This premium presentation completely elevates the classic military sci-fi story with an abundance of exclusive features. Readers can dive significantly deeper into the lore with 130 brand-new footnotes and annotations from the author himself, seamlessly paired with the iconic, sarcastic commentary of Inquisitor Amberley Vail. The luxury book is beautifully enriched with 15 striking illustrations that bring Cain, his malodorous aide Jurgen, and the Valhallan Ice Warriors to life. Finished with elegant silver gilt page edges and a dark red ribbon bookmark, this edition is the ultimate centerpiece for any Warhammer bookshelf.
