About this series
The adventures of Commissar Cain, his malodorous aide Jurgen, and the 296th Valhallans have proved great favourites among Black Library fans. Cain is considered to be a hero of the Imperium, and is praised for his deeds of courage in the thick of battle. However, Cain wants only a safe little spot and a small workload – to live an easy life. But, somehow, Cain always manages to find himself in dangerous military engagements, and is forced to save his own hide – which tends to further inflate his legendary reputation.
Part of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
