Publisher's summary

An Astra Militarum novel.

The storm has broken, and the forces of Chaos batter against Cadia's defences. Lord Castellan Creed leads the defence of the fortress world, but for how much longer can they hold out. Cadia stands...but will it stand forever?

Listen to It Because:

Justin D Hill follows up his Ursarkar Creed short stories in Legends of the Dark Millennium: Astra Militarum with the tale of the hero's finest - and darkest - hour.

The story:

Under almost constant besiegement by the hosts pouring from the Eye of Terror, Cadia acts as a bulwark against tyranny and death. Its fortresses and armies have held back the hordes of Chaos for centuries, but that grim defiance is about to reach its end.

As Abaddon's Thirteenth Black Crusade batters Cadia's defences, and armies of the Imperium flock to reinforce this crucial world, a terrible ritual long in the making comes to fruition and the delicate balance of this brutal war shifts.

From the darkness, a hero rises to lead the beleaguered defenders, Lord Castellan Ursarkar Creed, but even with the armoured might of the Astra Militarum and the strength of the Adeptus Astartes, will it be enough to avert disaster and prevent the fall of Cadia? While Creed lives, there is hope. While there is breath in the body of a single defender, Cadia stands...but for how much longer?

Written by Justin D Hill. Running time 7hrs 39mins. Narrated by David Seddon.

Grim and dark, just the way I like it!

The story follows many characters, and juggling them all can be a bit confusing at times, but a fine read/listen for any fan of the Imperial Guard!

Good, gritty and dark

As the title says. Quite a few surprises throughout. Love the atmosphere built up, the story and the narration.

The planet broke before the Guard did!

An excellent story. It expertly transitions you from view point to view point of a drawn out war. Even those not familiar with the Warhammer 40k Universe could follow the story even if some of the signicance would be lost to them.

Loved the focus on the human characters!

In this world of Space Marines and Deamons. It is good to see a war story like this told from the all too mortal and human perspective of The Imperial Guard.

A good listen

A good listen, I’m not a fan of jumping all over the place with different characters and story lines but it’s understandable considering what is taking place in the story

Not an over abundance of characters. Easy to follow when listening to the audio.
