Description

Sixth novel in the Ciaphas Cain series by Sandy Mitchell. Semi-retired as an instructor at the Schola Progenium on Perlia, Commissar Cain is forced back into action when a splinter of Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade targets the planet for a hidden xenos artefact, leaving him to organise its defence with little more than cadets and his aide Jurgen.
