In a grim galaxy where zealotry and despair are the norm, Commissar Ciaphas Cain stands out as an accidental hero—a self-proclaimed coward who stumbles into glory at every turn. Caves of Ice , the second novel in Sandy Mitchell’s beloved series, delivers everything fans adore: dry wit, frantic action, and a hero who’d rather be sipping amasec than facing down Orks and Necrons.
Cain and his trusty (and perpetually exasperated) aide, Gunner Jurgen, are dispatched to the frozen mining world of Simia Orichalcae. Their mission: oversee the defense of a promethium refinery against a looming Ork WAAAGH! But when ancient, metallic horrors—the Necrons—awaken beneath the permafrost, Cain finds himself trapped between two unstoppable enemies. His only way out? Survive, bluff, and accidentally save the day again.
