Publisher Description
The Blood Angels Chapter of Space Marines is under threat. Having obliterated all human life in the Red Scar region of space, the largest tendril of Hivefleet Leviathan ever seen in the Imperium has converged and is making relentlessly for Baal.
To face this awesome foe, Commander Dante has called upon the Successor Chapters of the ancient Ninth Legion. The Sons of Sanguinius gather in numbers not seen since the dark days of the Horus Heresy. Thirty thousand Space Marines stand ready to thwart the Great Devourer, save the homeworld of their primarch, and prevent the consumption of billions in the Ultima Segmentum beyond.
But the tyranid swarm numbers in the trillions, and they are not the only danger to the Chapter’s future. As the galaxy slides toward a terrifying new era, events far away threaten to unleash a greater evil. A further enemy must also be overcome, that of the Black Rage that lurks in the souls of all Sanguinius’s bloodline.
Read it Because
It's one of the key events in the build-up to the new Warhammer 40,000 background (and it's been years in the making!) and it's an epic tale of triumph and tragedy, heroism and sacrifice, and sets the scene for the future of the Blood Angels – if they have one.
Customer Reviews
Absolutely amazing
Haven’t read enough 40k books, about 11 titles into the Horus Heresy and this was my first book in the current setting, and I absolutely adored it. Honestly can’t even say much without spoiling the magic that this book had over me, but I give it a very solid 10/10, and never in my life time have I given a book a perfect rating. Obviously every has their own opinion, but in mine, this book is astoundingly phenomenal. Must read.
Splendid
Its a great story that slowly builds up to a great conclusion.
Excellent
Didn’t realize I would like the blood angels so much, this was a great read and an excellent insight into the chapter.
