The Last Ditch

Ciaphas Cain: Warhammer 40,000, Book 8

By: Sandy Mitchell

Narrated by: 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.

A twist from left field

another wonderful story in the Warhammer 40K universe this one's got enough twists that I wasn't expecting and a good bit of action. no I noticed in this one for some reason some of the words we're smoking weird like Regina's name and some of the other characters . its still a good performance just something I noticed

I just love this author

typical Cain book. so obviously worth the effort.I just love the antics.
preformed wonderfully

Top 3 Cain story

10/10 Would recommend. Performance is great as always and the story is hilarious and the best ways

a little predictable and Formulaic

This was fun as most commissar cane books are but they just seem to keep using the works to show how dangerous the other aliens that happen to be there are it seems to be Something they keep going back to the well for.

Great characters and engaging story but it's just another Cain book

its Great book but like I said suffers from the repetitiveness of Cain Archives
