Although I greatly enjoyed the last novel, Traitor General, I was really pleased that His Last Command brought back the entire regiment and the grand scale from the other novels in this series.
I love that even more division is driven into the Ghosts, with the new mutt unit. I loved that even more division was built in with the small return cadre of heroes from the secret mission from the previous novel.
I moved through this novel quickly and ate up the action and characters. Abnett wears these ...more

This book has slightly less drive than other Gaunt's Ghosts books, and that more or less lasts through the rest of the series. But it's Abnett, so it doesn't really matter much.
Ibram Gaunt & Co unexpectedly return from a mission classified as "extremely hazardous/suicidal". Gaunt fights the charges of Chaos corruption, only to find that during his three-year absence, the Tanith First and Only had been combined with another regiment. He is no longer allowed to serve as a reg...more

His last commmand is the second book in the lost series series by Dan Abnett and is following the story of "Gaunts Ghosts". after the Gerond mission Gaunt and his special team return to find themselves branded as traitors and heretics and eventually the ghosts are able to join there old squad again except for their leader Gaunt who gets restationed with a new regiment. This book is a good installment of this series and constanly keeps you wondering if Gaunt can return to his Ghosts.
Sprawling alien cities shelter the forces of chaos as the imperial crusade battles them, for evey inch of them. Gaunt and his ghosts return in this noel to face chaos on different terms. This book expans the adventure of gaunts and his ghosts in this thrilling sequel!
This book was a brilliant read at a neck breaking pace. The Gaunt's ghost series is the best series of war novels I have read to date. It is band of brothers set in a dark distant future.
Yet another Gaunt's ghosts book from Dan Abnet, and yet another battle against the Blood Pact. You would think that the formulas would get old, but the introduction of a few new characters makes this one interesting. Abnet really seems to nail the grit of light infantry combat, at least for the layman. The futuristic/fantastic elements which are present in a warhammer 40k novel are present here as well, but aside from some genetic engineering and some teleporting, are fairly small elements, rel...more
This is, THE BEST book released by black library, in my honestly opinion.
A (relative) let down.
Abnett seems to have run out of a little steam here. While still written well, it is a much less encompassing novel. On the one hand, the exploits of the Tanith regiment retain the charm of previous books, but on the other...
This is the first book I felt disappointed with buying.
