Within this book you will find Crusade, a fantastic new novella from Andy Clark....

Sons of the primarch Roboute Guilliman, the Primaris Ultramarines are peerless warriors whose sworn duty is to protect mankind from the predations of the xenos and the foul traitors of the Heretic Astartes. In a galaxy riven by eternal war, they and the other armies of the Imperium are all that stand between mankind and damnation. Their ship damaged by warp storms, the Ultramarines of strike force Cassian make for Kalides Prime. They hope to find safe harbour to repair their craft before rejoining the Indomitus Crusade. Instead, the Primaris Space Marines discover a world reduced to rot and ruin by the plague-ridden warriors of the Death Guard.

Also within this book is a host of awesome short stories to give you a flavour of the many warring armies that exist within the worlds of Warhammer 40,000.

Great Primer for new story...

I started playing WH40K when "Beakies" were all you could find. I knew Space Marines were the good guys the Eldar were d#@kheads and the Orks killed everything. Now in my 40s my son has started his role as chapter master and these new stories give a great layer of fun and mythology to the game.

A great collection!

Absolutely loved this. Great story telling and voice acting. Really added to the lore and wonder of 40k

Great stories mix

All the varaity of stories well mixed and from the indomitus era and also one of the horus heresy. The quality of the wiring varies but the performance by the readers it's awesome. Some of the stories are grim dar, some are uplifting and some plain psychological terror, which is great. I had low expectations of this book but it sure surpass them all. A great book.

Glorious Start to 40k

I have been inspired to learn more about the grim dark world of warhammer 40k.

Highly recommend!

A very good collection of stories and a good introduction to many of the factions and races in the Warhammer 40K universe.
