Book 1 of the brand new 9 part mega-series from Warhammer 40,000.
A great darkness has befallen the galaxy, and the armies of Chaos are
rampant. To survive, humanity must retaliate and take back what they
have lost. By the will of the reborn primarch, Roboute Guilliman, is the
Indomitus Crusade launched - a military undertaking that eclipses all
others in known history. From the Throneworld of Terra does the Avenging
Son hurl his fleets, their mission the very salvation of mankind.
As vessels in their thousands burn through the cold void, the attention
of Fleetmistress VanLeskus turns to the Machorta Sound - a region under
attack by a dreaded Slaughter Host of the Dark Gods. The success of the
Indomitus Crusade will be determined by this conflict, and the desperate
mission of Battlegroup Saint Aster, led by Space Marine Lieutenant
Messinius. Even then it is but a prelude to the forthcoming bloodshed.
