By: Sandy Mitchell

Narrated by: Stephen Perring, Penelope Rawlins, Richard Reed, John Banks, Phillipe Bosher

Book six of the Ciaphas Cain series

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

Listen to it because: this entry from the Cain Archives takes the Hero of the Imperium into his greatest - and possibly last - battle. He's an old man in this one, pulled out of retirement for one last mission as the hordes of Chaos close in on the Imperium....

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.

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

Good as alway

Very much enjoyed the book. This series has yet to get old. Looking forward to reading the rest of Cains exploits.

It's not all funny

Be forewarned. Some parts of this book hit hard. Honestly it made the read even more ingrossing than usual.
