This audiobook brings together 13 uproarious short stories and one novella, focused on Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium. His stories are celebrated as heroic propaganda pieces, but he’s simply trying to stay alive in a hostile galaxy.

When the flow of desperately needed weapons for the Astra Militarum slows to nothing from a newly founded forge world, there’s only one man able and (un)willing to investigate…Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium. With Cain’s desperately sought-after retirement on the line, the Imperium’s most reluctant commissar must navigate insidious assassination attempts against his person, legions of mutinous skitarii, heresy within the upper echelons of the Adeptus Mechanicus itself… and a hidden foe, pulling the strings, with an agenda that could threaten the future of Imperial rule in the Damocles Gulf.

Hans Benedek, einst ein gefragter Feuilletonist, hat seinen Bedeutungsverlust selbst noch gar nicht realisiert. Er wähnt sich weiterhin als Mann von beträchtlichem Einfluss, glaubt, dass alle Welt die Ohren spitzt, wenn er einen Gedanken formuliert.

"Ciao". Una delle nostre parole più famose nel mondo origina dal veneziano sciavo, nel senso di schiavo, usato per salutare qualcuno ponendosi al suo servizio, come a dire Servo vostro! Si è affermata come saluto confidenziale tra Otto e Novecento, per poi diventare di uso generalizzato in tempi più recenti. È una parola-azione: ciao "si dice" e "si fa". La sua fortuna internazionale passa attraverso il made in ltaly, ma è debitrice anche di episodi particolari connessi a canzoni o film di successo.
