Cadia ist gefallen. Das 101. cadianische Regiment war das letzte, das der Zerstörung seiner Heimatwelt durch den Dreizehnten Schwarzen Kreuzzug entkam. Geschunden, doch ungebrochen setzt es den Kampf fort, um seinem Vermächtnis gerecht zu werden. Als ein neues Übel im Galgen-Sternhaufen das Haupt erhebt und die Stabilität der gesamten Front gefährdet, wird das 101. in die Bresche geschickt. Während auf der Welt Alia eine loyale Festung nach der anderen fällt, führt Minka Lesk ihre Kompanie auf eine gewagte Mission, um das Kriegsglück doch noch zu wenden.

This collection brings together three terrifying thrillers set in 41st Millennium. Because, in the grim darkness of the far future, the real horrors lie much closer to home...See the 41st Millennium in a different light with three psychological thrillers from the Warhammer Horror imprint. From murderous, semi-sentient machines to a zombie apocalypse, it's the Imperium as you've never seen it before.

In the grim darkness of the far future, the galaxy burns as its disparate races fight for resources, territory, and divine purpose. The Imperium faces threats both alien and heretic, and the touch of the warp is ever a moment from seeping into reality, with deadly consequences. Survival is earned in blood.

In the polluted, sprawling hive cities of Necromunda, life is short. From the decadent heights of the Spire to the murderous deeps of the underhive, those on the climb must be bold and brutal, or face a violent end. When the barbarous Fettnir, Goliath overlord of the Chemfall Butchers, turns his attention to Escher territory, the result is nothing short of a massacre. Brielle of the Wild Hydras escapes the slaughter and is cast into the deepest levels of the underhive.

For 10,000 years, Cadia stood as a bastion against the daemonic tide spewing forth from the Eye of Terror. But now the Fortress World lies in ruins, its armies decimated in the wake of Abaddon the Despoiler and his Thirteenth Black Crusade. Those who survived, though haunted by the loss of their beloved homeworld, remain bloodied and unbarred, fighting ruthlessly in the Emperor’s name. Amongst them is the indomitable Sergeant Minka Lesk.

The Sabbat War is a savage Imperial crusade, cutting a bloody, burning path across a vast swathe of the Imperium's lost territory. On the front line, the stalwart regiments of the Astra Militarum, including the valiant Tanith First-and-Only—better known as Gaunt’s Ghosts—confront the relentless menace of Chaos, the Archenemy of Mankind. There is, and ever will be, only war.

Of all the devout warriors in the Adepta Sororitas, none are as renowned or battle-hungry as those of the Order of Our Martyred Lady. Yet while others seek glory in their own martyrdom, Sister Helewise is determined to stay alive, so that her death might serve a greater purpose when the God-Emperor wills it. Assigned to Fleet Quintus of the Indomitus Crusade, Helewise and her sisters follow an ancient route of pilgrimage to rediscover and liberate the shrine world of Cion, once a sacred bastion of their order.

Cadia, 10,000 years a stalwart bastion against Chaos, is broken. Its collapse at the hands of Abaddon and the Thirteenth Black Crusade has fractured the Imperium of Man, and in its wake spreads the seeds of heresy, lies and insurrection. It falls to Cadia’s survivors to fight on, bloodied but unyielding, in the name of the Emperor. On the world of Malouri, traitorous forces have retreated to the impregnable island fortress of Crannog Mons.

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.

In the teeming underhive of Hive Primus, the de facto capital of Necromunda, untold billions clamour for scraps as they attempt to eke out something barely resembling an existence. While the gilded elite enjoy the trappings of luxury in the towering spires above and the lowest of the low barely survive, many turn to the streets and each other for survival, and these are some of their stories.

When a new threat surges through the Gallows Cluster, jeopardising the stability of the entire warfront, the 101st are thrown into the breach. As loyal fortresses fall on the world of Alia, Minka Lesk’s company leads the mad gambit that is the last hope of turning the tide. But when the jungle itself is as deadly as any enemy, can Minka keep her troopers fighting as her regiment fractures around her?

The forces of Cadia struggle ever onward, desperate to avenge the destruction of their home world and prove that even in the wake of profound loss, they remain the exemplars of the Astra Militarum. When Minka Lesk and the Cadian 101st discover a relic of the missing Cadian 8th – thought lost in the planet’s defence – they see an opportunity to right a past wrong, and follow the trail to Telken’s Rest, a world at the core of the Chaos warlord Drakul-zar’s collapsing regime.

On the capital world of Potence, young enforcer cadet Rudgard Howe is caught up in a bitter internecine feud to inherit his father's position of chief enforcer. As the tithe fleets approach, he is sent on his first mission to ensure that the planet's distant agri-facilities fulfil their quotas to the god-emperor. Farmed with serfs and managed by ex-Militarum soldiers, the agri-facilities are places of shocking brutality and hopelessness.

In the lower reaches of Necromunda's Hive Primus, countless hired guns and bounty hunters seek to make their fortune by using their deadly skills to bring in criminals, outlaws and those unlucky souls who've fallen foul of the Guilders. Each of these rogues and killers is different, with particular skills that put them on their path. Neither heroes nor villains, they live in the grey areas - and in these three audio dramas, a trio of bounty hunters have their tales told.

A chance encounter with a stranger known only as 'The Deserter' might be just what Corenne needs as she struggles to survive in Necromunda's underhive. A tale of faith, hope and sheer dumb luck from the underhive, filled with fascinating characters and chance encounters.

Zehntausend Jahre lang war Cadia ein Bollwerk gegen die dämonische Flut, die aus dem Auge des Schreckens strömte. Doch jetzt liegt die Festungswelt in Trümmern und ihre Armeen wurden von Abaddon dem Vernichter und seinem Dreizehnten Schwarzen Kreuzzug zerschlagen. Die Überlebenden trauern um ihre geliebte Heimat, doch sie kämpfen ungebrochen weiter im Namen des Imperiums. Zu ihnen gehört die unbeugsame Minka Lesk. Zusammen mit dem cadianischen 101. Regiment wird sie zum Planeten Potencia geschickt, einer scheinbar friedvollen Welt, in deren Herzen jedoch die Fäulnis schwärt.

Auf der Welt Malouri haben sich Verrätertruppen in die Inselfestung Crannog Mons zurückgezogen. Nach einer jahrelangen Pattsituation werden Minka Lesk und das 101. Cadia-Regiment mit der Aufgabe betraut, die Belagerung zu durchbrechen. Inmitten des blutigen und verlustreichen Gemetzels, in dem sie sich wiederfinden, müssen sie die Antwort auf eine Frage finden: Was bedeutet es in einer Galaxis, in der Cadia nicht mehr existiert, noch Cadianer zu sein?

Cadias Streitkräfte setzen den Kampf fort und versuchen verzweifelt, die Zerstörung ihrer Heimatwelt zu rächen und zu beweisen, dass sie trotz ihres erschütternden Verlustes weiterhin die besten Soldaten des Astra Militarum sind. Als Minka Lesk und dem 101. Cadia ein Relikt des verschollenen 8. Regiments in die Hände fällt, sehen sie darin die Gelegenheit, eine alte Scharte auszuwetzen, und folgen der Spur nach Telkens Ruh, einer Welt im Zentrum des zusammenbrechenden Reiches des gefürchteten Chaos-Kriegsherrn Drakul-zar.

Belagert von den Horden des Chaos, die aus dem Auge des Schreckens strömen, ist Cadia ein Bollwerk gegen Tyrannei und Tod. Seit Jahrhunderten haben seine Festungen und Armeen den schrecklichen Heeren getrotzt, doch der grimmige Widerstand droht unter der Flut der Angreifer zusammenzubrechen. Als Abaddons 13.
