For the Emperor – Illustrated and Annotated Edition (Hardback) *7/11 Release*

Discover the book that started it all! For the Emperor is the very first novel in the legendary Ciaphas Cain series. Follow the sector's most famous (and most delightfully reluctant) "Hero of the Imperium" as he and his fractured regiment of Valhallan Imperial Guardsmen are deployed to a tense outpost planet right on the edge of alien T'au space.

When a worldwide rebellion threatens to rip the planet apart, the wily Commissar Cain must use all his wits, luck, and the help of his fiercely loyal (and famously smelly) sidekick Jurgen to sniff out the real villain before the planet falls!
