Ciaphas Cain

review 1: A solid return to the brisk action, pure tension, and hilarious backstory comedy of the reluctant hero, Ciaphas Cain, as Cain and his band of protagonists set out to wipe out a band of orks invading a desired planet and sector of the galaxy and discover a much larger and more dangerous foe has set up residence (tyranids!!). This is the book that Cain's Last Stand wanted to be, and I really enjoyed the author's stepping up and slamming the story in a format that was easy to read and exciting as well. Cain as a main character has never been better than in this story, and I dare say this may have been the best of the Cain books to date, excepting the first, which had a powerful effect on this reader.
review 2: I adore the Cain novels and this one didn't disappoint... more. There is tons of action and a good dose of humor. Unlike so many 40k books, the Cain novels don't seem to take themselves too seriously. (Can a book take itself seriously?) Anyway, I love the self-depreciating wit of Ciaphus. Every bit of The Last Ditch is a page turner, as I found when I finished the book and realized it was 5 am. I can't wait to read The Greater Good! Keep them coming! (I would love to read about Cain coming out of retirement for the Black Crusade *hint* *hint*) less
