About this listen
The Black Legion has vanquished every army and fleet sent against it, yet now this invincible Legion is in full retreat as it races away from the Emperor’s wrath. They gambled all on a single decisive battle and with it lost everything.
With victory against the Emperor now impossible, the Legion finds itself lacking purpose and money. They came to the Empire with promises of glory and reward, but now they are trapped and surrounded on all sides by enemies. The massacre of the Legion’s officer corps leaves it vulnerable, and it falls to warriors like Xenophon to hold back their desire for revenge and to put them on a path home.
The God King Artaxerxes is no fool, and he knows he cannot let a massive Terran fleet make its way through his domain unchallenged. To do so would encourage dissent in his already weakened empire. He may have fought off his brother, Lord Cyrus, but the threat of revolt is ever near. Mobilizing forces from every corner of the Empire, he throws them all at the Legion under the command of his trusted lieutenant Tissaphernes.
Last Stand is the fourth book in the Star Legions series from Michael G. Thomas, the best-selling author of the Star Crusades series, previously published as the Black Legion series.

This is the fourth book in the star Legions series and is, essentially, an account of a single battle for all but a few minutes of it's seven and a half hours. To be honest, although I really enjoy military science fiction, I do sometimes find that the more extended battle descriptions become tedious. But not this one: I was immersed in the action throughout, as the pov leaped between different characters, ships and strategies and we'll as conflicts and betrayals between so called allies. However, I also have to confess to a certain confusion as to who was actually fighting who, given the large number, not only of individual protagonists involved, but the various races, also. This is almost certainly a result of my entering the series with this book, the fourth, rather than having read them in sequence - a situation are intend to remedy shortly (I have already purchased book one).
Narration by Sharmon Casey was good, his deep voice lending gravitas to the story as well as being closely matched to the text and his giving appropriate individual voicing to numerous characters. A good performance overall.
My thanks to the rights holder of Last Stand, who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. A must for all Who enjoy military space S.F. But, for character clarity, probably best to start with volume one.
Dozens and dozens of battleships.

This is the best of the Black Legion stories yet although some may be due to familiarity with them by now.
I requested this audio and have decided to leave my thoughts.
Best of this Arc yet
