Hero of the Imperium. At least, that’s what everyone thinks.
Meet one of Warhammer 40,000’s most entertaining characters in For the Emperor, the first novel in the acclaimed Ciaphas Cain series by Sandy Mitchell.
To the Imperium, Commissar Ciaphas Cain is a legendary hero—brave, fearless, and always ready to throw himself into danger in the Emperor’s name.
Cain himself would tell you something rather different.
He’d much rather stay alive.
Assigned to a newly formed regiment of Valhallan Imperial Guard, Cain is sent to the outpost world of Gravalax, where growing unrest threatens to push the planet into the hands of the T’au Empire.
What initially appears to be a political crisis quickly becomes something far more dangerous, forcing Cain and his wonderfully unpleasant aide Jurgen into the middle of a conspiracy that could cost the Imperium an entire world.
Unfortunately for Cain, every attempt to save his own skin seems to make everyone else think he’s even more heroic.

Product Details:
Warhammer 40K is famously grim.
Ciaphas Cain is what happens when you put a man with a sense of self-preservation in the middle of all that grimness.
He keeps trying to avoid certain death. He keeps accidentally saving everybody. And his reputation as one of the Imperium’s greatest heroes just keeps getting worse.
For the Emperor!
…preferably from somewhere reasonably safe.
