As i said earlier, this was my first Ciaphas Cain audio. I’m sure it won’t be my last. In a rare move, I think audio has become my preferred format for this story. Not only is Stephen Perring’s Cain an absolute delight throughout, audio serves the structure brilliantly. the footnotes are inserted as appropriate, with Vale’s interruptions, additional thoughts, and scathing remarks cutting through Cain’s self-indulgent prose to hilarious effect. The entire cast (one for each in-universe narrator) deserves praise for their performances. I simply can’t imagine anyone else in these roles.

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 This omnibus edition contains the books A Thousand Sons and Prospero Burns, and also the stories "Howl of the Hearthworld", "Rebirth", "Hunter's Moon" and "Thief of Revelations". 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.’

Choose Your Enemies is the tenth novel in the Ciaphas Cain series by Sandy Mitchell. It was released on September 1, 2018. This article needs additional citations for verification.

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.

Extinction by Aaron Dembski-Bowden (novel 0) (August 2013)... Collected in Gamesday Anthology 2012/13 You asked the eldar for help?’ I expostulated, the conversation I’d overheard between Amberley and the tech-priest finally starting to make sense. Brotherhood of the Storm by Chris Wraight (limited edition) (October 2012) ... also included in the book no. 31 Yet atop of everything else, Choose Your Enemies manages to sidestep a fair few of the pacing issues and structural problems inherent in the overall series. While hardly the worst example put onto paper, the efforts to reflect Cain's less formulaic style often interferes with the finer parts of pacing a book. When an event occurs, how it occurs, what drives the protagonist onward, how important something is to the overarching plot; that sort of thing. While it disguised this well for some time, toward start of the third trilogy these problems became much more obvious. A few of the more typically overused narrative devices were so often employed that it was clear how they were trying to distract the reader from problems. Whatever it was, the thing must have stood twice as tall as a man, at the very least. In contrast to the bright colours I generally associated with the eldar, however, it was dull of hue, composed of dark unpolished metal, and even from this distance I could feel the furnace heat radiating from it. My first guess, that it was some kind of Dreadnought, was clearly wide of the mark.The way the story manages to execute a better pace is by working around a lot of the flab present in past stories. 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. And they’ve got it,’ Amberley said, glancing upwards to the breach in the dome. Another dot was falling, growing larger with every passing second. I expected it to swerve, or break its fall like the others, but it just kept plummeting towards us.
