This review is from: Ciaphas Cain: Defender of the Imperium (Paperback)
The combination of the next three books in the Ciaphas Cain series does not disappoint, and is a worthy successor to the first three. This book keeps the same Ciaphas and everything we love about him, such as his cynical humor in the face of great danger. The series is very well written, with a solid cast of supporting characters and convincingly written battles.The series also adds something new, with a single plot device reaching through all 3 books, which greatly adds to the scope of the series. The books also add alot of variety. Where the first ones mostly consisted of "Ciaphas goes into cave, finds bad guys, and runs away", in these books Cain is put in 3 very different circumstances that he needs to fight his way out of.
Overall a great continuation to the series, with amazing plots that put the reader right into the thick of the action, but because the action is seen through the eyes of Cain, it isn't too grim and dark and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Caiphas Cain never fails to entertain, Dec 5 2010
By Andrew Gelbman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ciaphas Cain: Defender of the Imperium (Paperback)
A collection of three Caiphas Cain novels, Defender of the Imperium contains the novels Death or Glory, Duty Calls and Cain's Last Stand, plus the short story Traitor's Gambit and a new introduction from author Sandy Mitchell (Alex Stewart).As always, the footnotes by Inquisitor Amberly Vail are funny and instructive about the details of the 40k setting. All in all, an excellent buy. The short story is well-written and enjoyable to read though the connecting short stories in the previous omnibus, Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium do connect the novels better (and there are more of them) but like all of his Cain fiction, Sandy Mitchell (Alex Stewart) doesn't disappoint the reader.
If you like the tales of the ever-pragmatic Commissar Cain, you will enjoy this omnibus - a definite must have for the Cain aficionado

This review is from: Ciaphas Cain: Defender of the Imperium (Paperback)
This book has actually made me interested in the imperial guard. Sandy Mitchell is a great author from the black library. Great book all around with its characters and rich stories.
