The Last Ditch

Ciaphas Cain: Warhammer 40,000, Book 8

De: Sandy Mitchell

Narrado por: Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins, Emma Gregory, Toby Longworth, Andrew James Spooner

Book 8 of the Ciaphas Cain series.

The Imperium's least willing hero is thrown back into the fight against another alien threat as Commissar Cain returns to a frozen planet to battle an incursion by monstrous orks.

Listen to it because....

It's a rip-roaring action adventure tale with a few daring twists and a whole load of that typical Ciaphas Cain humour. The opening sequence—involving a dramatic star ship crash—is particularly exciting.

The story:

Imperial commissar Ciaphas Cain returns to Nusquam Fundumentibus to crush the ork attacks which have been plaguing the frozen planet. But when his ship crashes into the wastelands outside the capital, it disturbs a far greater enemy, one which has lain dormant under the permafrost since long before the Imperium came to this world and could now threaten the whole sector. Faced with ongoing greenskin raids and keeping an over-enthusiastic novice commissar under control, Cain must rally his men and confront whatever emerges from beneath the rapidly melting ice....

Written by Sandy Mitchell. Narrated by Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins, Emma Gregory, Toby Longworth, Andrew James Spooner. Run time 9 hours and 30 minutes.

Another Great Cain Book

This is another great book. They always leave you wanting more and more. I love this series.

Same enemy, greater story

Love the cast as always, writing is superb and Cain is a humble hero as normal. The jurassic park ice moments were hilarious and I enjoyed the new supporting characters

the voice acting and overall production

I really enjoy these stories. reading them is so fun but the audio books really add such a wonderful thrill. all the performers really make there characters come to life. thank you

Great Narration and Pacing

Not Cain's greatest story but still fun with action and humor. First time doing the Audiobook for Ciaphas and it was really well done.

Another great cain story.

This has been one of my favorite Cain novels i've gone through. There is of course the lovable commissar Cain, Jurgen and the vallhalans that we all know and love. The two commanding officers of the regiment get some more love and attention this book which was appreciated. There were less of my somewhat hated cain-isms (had i known at the time, my itching palms, constant getting himself into hotter water than he'd like, ect.)

The voice over is as always great and i cannot help but love the different voice actors making the thing sound more like a radio drama than an audio book.
