E.G.J. Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Was there ever a sequel to Innocence Proves Nothing? It seemed the story-line started in Scourge the Heretic was heading for a series or a trilogy, but it just petered out after two books. Did it get picked up in one of Sandy Mitchell's other books? Was there simply no demand for it? What happened? I really enjoyed those books. They had a feel similar to Ian Watson's Inquisition Wars, but updated to a post Abnett's Eisenhorn universe. I would like to have seen that story arc come to completion. Does anyone know?

The Red Thirst Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 My biggest problem with the Cain novels was they were all pretty much the same.Go to this war zone "X", (insert enemy here), need to find something / push a button for Deus Ex Machina, oh and tell the reader every chance I get how much of a coward Cain the Hero of the Imperium really is. Rinse and Repeat.For me it got old halfway through the 3rd novel in the 1st Omnibus Im sad to say.

The Red Thirst Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 My mistake, I assumed that Ol' Sandy had only written the Cain novels for BL Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297532-what-happened-to-sandy-mitchells-inquisition-novels/#findComment-3828808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 He hasn't done a great deal with them recently: I wonder if it's IP work elsewhere or whatever.

Lucien Eilam Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 His Inquisition books were a tie-in with the Dark Heresy RPG. They must have been commissioned when it was under GW's Black Industries brand. Ciaphas Cain is (inexplicably, to me) enormously popular. I expect BL just wanted more of the latter, rather than promoting a licensed product.

E.G.J. Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Thanks, Brother Lucien! I didn't know about the Dark Heresy connection in regard to those books. I guess the adverts in the back should have been a heads-up, but that had not at all occurred to me.
