Ciaphas Cain: Choose Your Enemies: Choose Your Enemies (Volume 10)

Product Information

Ciaphas Cain, reluctant hero of the Imperium, is caught on the frontline between humanity and eldar. Yet the greater danger comes from the Chaos cults buried deep in Imperial society . . . Stop! Stop!’ she wailed. Then the towering mass of flesh crashed to the ground. A miasma of nothingness, like its first manifestation, seemed to seep out of it, writhing like the scorching air over a desert as the thing’s essence sought to escape the destruction of her physical body. While all good and exciting, the actual story here is pretty standard fare. Action, adventure, a dash of horror. exactly what Warhammer readers want. As ever, what elevates Cain’s antics is the delivery. First there is Cain’s self-centred narrative, which reveals he’s not the hero everyone makes him out to be. Then there’s Inquisitor Vale’s footnotes, which dance between pointing out people’s foibles, and wondering if Cain isn’t the precise man the Imperium needs. Scattered throughout are in-universe reports on military matters, local history, and anti-xenos propaganda. laced through everything is a very British sense of humour that holds the whole thing together marvellously. Virtues of the Sons / Sins of the Father by Andy Smillie (January 2017) ... also included in the book no. 33 / also included in the book no. 35

Fair point,’ I conceded, adding a few laspistol bolts of my own to the ongoing eldar barrage, although I didn’t expect it to have any discernible effect, and in this I was far from disappointed. Despite the risk of attracting Emeli’s attention again, I thought I ought to show willing in front of an inquisitor; as it turned out, however, the irked daemon was too busy trying to swat the swooping eldar to take much notice of me, at least for the time being. ‘But they’re going to need a lot more than that to take her down.’ The great strength of the Ciaphas Cain series has always been its episodic nature. Sling the stories together into a coherent narrative, and the jokes would wear thin, the action repetitive, and the overall story bogged down. But that’s not the way Micthell tells a story. Instead the series skips and jumps (and likely hops too) from place to place. Cain has fought numerous xenos, but here we see him primarily squaring off against a cult of Chaos worshippers. I have to say, this is the single best depiction of a Slaaneshi cult I’ve ever read. It make sit clear just how debauched the goings-on are, without dwelling on them overly. The suggestion of sin is more enticing than sin itself.

Of course,’ Amberley said, with the air of patient exasperation common to women all over the galaxy explaining the obvious to the men in their lives. ‘This thing is feeding off the souls of their people.’ Once again I felt I was on the verge of a crucial realisation, but she went on before I could bring it into focus. ‘Why wouldn’t they?’

But the avatar was faster, swinging its arcane weapon through the space the noncorporeal entity occupied, and a wordless wail of agony and despair echoed through the air around us. A nimbus of light erupted from the pole arm, in which a shadow seemed to move, struggling desperately as it was drawn into the very blade itself. Then the light faded, and the avatar froze into watchful immobility. This article needs additional citations for verification.

Another romp through understated terror with Ciaphas Cain, a self-depreciating hero who accidentally stumbles into danger and somehow survives. The whole plot is as unlikely, as dramatic and as scenic as every other in Warhammer 40K, but is self-aware, tongue-in-cheek and delivered with droll wit; Ciaphas is humanity’s Everyman in a future where there is only war. You asked the eldar for help?’ I expostulated, the conversation I’d overheard between Amberley and the tech-priest finally starting to make sense. Is it alive?’ I asked. The thing was looking at us with a gleam of malign intelligence, but its stillness was preternatural, as though a statue had somehow been imbued with will and intellect.The War for Rynn's World by Steve Parker and Mike Lee (this omnibus includes the novel Rynn's World, the novella Traitor's Gorge, and short stories) (August 2014) Architect of Fate by "various" (this anthology includes the novellas "Accursed Eternity, Endeavour of Will, Fateweaver and Sanctus") (May 2012) Echoes of Revelation by Dan Abnett, Chris Wraight & Gav Thorpe (the anthology includes "Perpetual" (also included in the book no. 48), "The soul, severed" (also included in the book no. 52)& "Valerius" (also included in the book no. 52) (May 2017) Veritas Ferrum by David Annandale (special edition) (December 2012) ... also included in the book no. 31 War of the Fang by Chris Wraight (this omnibus includes the novel Battle of the Fang and the novella Hunt for Magnus) (January 2015)
