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.

While Cain is allowed plenty of time to ramble, discuss and comment upon ongoing events, it's more tightly executed and paced against said events. There is a more consistent effort to balance this against the major narrative, while the time-skips needed to work around story moments are far better placed. As a result, while it still offers commentary on a broader event, the story feels far more complete and better executed.

Black Library - Ciaphas Cain: Choose Your Enemies

The vast bulk of an eldar battleship was keeping station with the orbital, just outside the [armourcrys] dome, and beyond it I thought I could make out several more of the distinctive curving hulls. Before I could discern any more, however, I was dazzled by the discharge from one of the ship’s ventral lance batteries, and, once again, the entire dome shook. The immediate bonus to this book's overall score comes from its choice of extra characters. As the synopsis implied, there are a lot of returning faces here, but the fact the Valhallan 597th themselves are present is a definite boon. The ensemble of secondary characters and mixed regimental figures always helped to bolster the stories. The a mix of familiar faces offered more opportunities for jokes, stories and material for Cain's narration to work with. While this might sound like hyperbole, if you compare the first three books with Death or Glory, you might notice that one is more engaging than the other. They're both well written, excellently paced and brilliantly described, but the supporting cast elevates the tale to a new level.

A Mug of Recaff • The Smallest Detail • The Little Things • Last Night at the Resplendent • The Bigger They Are • The Only Good Ork • Three QuestionsAurelian by Aaron Dembski-Bowden (limited edition) (October 2011) ... also included in the book no. 35 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.
