What is Ciaphas Cain’s worst book?
I say this with every ounce of love and respect for the Cain Series but to love the best of it you must decide on the worst…
And for me it has to be Last Ditch
The premise sounds simple and recognizable, Cain is sent to deal with some orks and ends up finding a larger threat th the never could’ve think of…except he could. All the hallmarks were there but for some reason it took Cain far too long to recognize the signs.
I’m sorry but I feel with Cain’s natural ability to connect dots most don’t see and his fear/heroism I feel he should’ve connected far more of what was happening rather than going along with it
