Cadia. This proud world stood defiant for centuries – a bulwark against the forces of Chaos residing in the Eye of Terror. All of this would change when it was targeted for destruction by Abaddon the Despoiler as part of his Thirteenth Black Crusade.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

The Fall of Cadia is a touchstone moment of the Warhammer 40,000 timeline. This incredible battle led to the opening of the Great Rift and ushered in a grim new era in which even greater threats assailed the Imperium.

THE STORY

Cadia licks its wounds in the wake of the Thirteenth Black Crusade. The heretic forces retreat on all fronts. The day is won. But Lord Castellan Creed cannot rest easy. Something tells him the assault was a mere prelude to something greater, something more final. He is right. Out of the Eye of Terror comes Abaddon the Despoiler, at the head of a warhost unmatched in scale since the dread days of the Horus Heresy.

In the face of the looming apocalypse, Creed must weld the champions of Cadia into a bulwark capable of withstanding Abaddon’s fury. And in orbit, the Despoiler himself finds his own alliance teetering on a knife edge…

This is a tale told at epic scale, from the tables of high command to the slaughter of the pylon fields, and with a huge cast of characters from self-styled demigods to the rank-and-file foot soldiers of the Imperium.

This is the story of Abaddon’s greatest conquest. This is Cadia’s last stand.

CADIA STANDS!!!

I love that the author is an ex military man like myself, his shout out to S. Korea my home country was pretty neat that he drew inspiration from there. This story is great I didn't want to ruin anyone's experience by giving any hints while writing a review of this book. The story was engaging and worth every minute to listen to via audible and everyone should listen to this one.

Cadia Stands

I thought besides how OP Abaddon was it was a great book. A great depiction of 40K lore

The narrator did a superb job with his performance. Every character had a unique and believable voice.

Story had a quick ending that felt slightly rushed. However it was not a major setback.

CADIA STANDS
