The Imperium's most unlikely hero is back, reluctantly returning to the front line and hoping his luck will hold out!

The story: after a long and distinguished career defending the Imperium from its many enemies, Commissar Cain is enjoying a well-deserved retirement on Perlia, teaching in a schola progenium. But when a Black Crusade threatens the sector, all able-bodied citizens must rise to the defence, including Cain and his cadets. As the forces of Chaos overwhelm Perlia, can the wily commissar prove himself to be a real hero of the Imperium one last time?

Written by Sandy Mitchell. Running time 10 hours and 31 minutes. Performed by Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins, Richard Reed, John Banks and Phillipe Bosher.

Classic Cain with a perfect cast

Another excellent addition to the Cain series Thanks for more great stories. Commissar Donal gives his regards!

it's another amazing cain book. i

I love this book!! such a amazing book just like all the others. my only complaint is 8 hours into the book someone else starts reading it than the person who has been reading the othera

you know it, you love it

the best series in all 40k. it's ciaphas and Jurgen! poor guy just can't retire

Excellent despite hiccup

Narrator change at about the 2 br remaining mark, but still excellent. The replacement narrator is close in tone to Stephen Perring, but it is still a bit jarring.

Need more Cain books

Cain is reunited with some old friends in this Book 6 of the series. This novel is a bit darker than the other six in the series (I've already finished 1 to 5 and 7 before starting 6) but just as enjoyable.

Now waiting for Books 8 to 10 to complete my collection.

One of Cain's Best Adventures Yet!

I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the Cain books. But Cain's Last Stand is, in my opinion, one of the finest. Standing next to "For the Emperor" & "Traitor's Hand" as Mitchell's best written Cain adventures. What's great about Last Stand is that it shows us a completely different side of Cain. As much as I missed Castine, Brocklaw and Sulla, I loved seeing an older Cain in a mentor role, doing his best to make sure his cadets don't turn out to be crazy commissars who shoot their soldiers at the slightest provocation. It was also great to see Cain in a story closer to the current 40K timeline.

need more

for the sixth time now I'm leaving with a smile on my face. looking forward to book 7. and the hbo live action

They killed off my boy Perrings

I'm going to assume this was an assassination attempt due to the lack of materia from Like a Phoenix From the Flames prior to chapter 20.

Voice change

The voice actors voice changes abruptly in chapter 20, rather off putting. Otherwise it was decent.

fun listen as always

Another great Cain novel, always a good listen and great voice acting! I recommend Cain novels to all my 40k enthusiast
