Ciaphas Cain is widely celebrated as a hero—courageous, steadfast, and resolute. However, Inquisitor Amberley Vail, who revisits the archives in this collection, may be among the few who truly understand his complex nature. Ciaphas Cain: The Anthology features one novella and thirteen short stories by Sandy Mitchell, including notable titles such as Fight or Flight, Traitor’s Gambit, The Smallest Detail, The Bigger They Are, and Rotten to the Core.
