Synopsis

Fantastic anthology of stories from the Warhammer 40,000 universe focussing on the forces of the Astra Militarum. ‘No bold act is too small to be without consequence.’ The true strength of the Emperor’s largest military force lies not in their artillery, trenches and tanks, but in the courage of the ordinary men and women of the Astra Militarum. Against the countless foes of the Imperium, Guardsmen stand together. They fight to live and die not only for the glory of the God-Emperor, but for their fellow soldier. To survive against the Ruinous Powers and the overwhelming xenos tide, the trust and bravery of daring Catachan jungle fighters, indomitable Cadians, stoic Kriegsmen and more will be tested to the limits. Black Library’s authors give voice to the untold stories of heroism, determination and betrayal amongst the endless war of the 41st millennium.
