The Astra Millitarum are a blunt instrument of violence, wrought on a
galactic scale. This new series from Black Library will explore some of
their regiments.
On the war-torn world of Croatoas, the armies of the Astra Militarum do
battle with the twisted servants of the Ruinous Powers. Against the
backdrop of this increasingly desperate conflict, tanker Hadeya Etsul
finds herself consolidated into a Cadian regiment, and placed in command
of the Leman Russ Demolisher Steel Tread. Haunted by nightmares,
surrounded by a dysfunctional crew and striving to find her place amidst
a proud and insular regiment with a culture so different from her own,
Etsul must guide her crew to victory. But, as her regiment rolls out
beneath the poisonous light of the Great Rift to join a death-or-glory
offensive, the crew of Steel Tread are about to face the fight of their
lives. If they cannot learn to work as one, how can they hope to
survive?
