Dead in the Water (audio drama)
The story
Commissar Ciaphas Cain is a renowned and revered hero of the Imperium, a man who has faced and survived some of the vilest creatures the universe can throw at him. But when he is sent to a river-world, he must deal with a dangerous enemy, an enemy whose true identity remains unknown. As his vessel traverses the straits of the planet, Cain must uncover the face of this new foe so that he can understand and escape it. Caught in the enemy crossfire, the commissar has no place to run, and his nerve will be tested to the very limits.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lawrence
I have every Cain storey that there is and it was great to finally hear one, this is only my second audio drama but once again i was amazed at the voice acting and the storey, I hope that there is more stories following Cain soon in book and audio form, please keep them coming Sandy
Excellent
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lucas
Another 5/5 Audio Drama and a welcome addition to the Caiaphas Cain story line.
An alternative view of the galaxy...
Rated 4 out of 5 by Brother Endeavour
This was my first Ciaphas Cain tale and I will be looking to read more stories featuring him. Sandy Mitchell has created a fantastic counterpoint to the majority of the 40K universe: in a place of extremes populated by single-minded, zealous and steadfast individuals on all sides, Cain's position of self-preservation, jaded pragmatism and absolutely not believing he is going to change the galaxy alone is a wonderful change. Dead in the Water enables Cain to shine, puts a nice spotlight on the Imperial Guard and has a well-crafted murder-investigation feel running through it. Recommended.
Cains been here

Dead in the Water = Great Cain story.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Michael
This audio drama featuring Commissar Ciaphas Cain contains all that is good about Sandy Mitchell's Cain series. The drama captures the key (and fun) elements of the Cain stories in a small, tight package.
