An Astra Militarum Novel

The shrine-city Saint Stanislava's Adoration has fallen to the twisted worshippers of Chaos. The 2002nd Cadian Mechanised Regiment, led by Colonel Gabriel Velterson, must fight the Archenemy on one side, and contend with the merciless Imperial apparatus of war on the other. It's another chance to witness the courage of Cadia in the face of impossible odds and the callous nature of a remorseless Imperium. It's only the brave soldiers on the front lines that somehow keep the system from failing under the strain of endless war.

THE STORY Saint Stanislava's Adoration was once the Maelstrom Zone's finest shrine-city, and the crowning jewel of the planet Nymea. Now, it's a blasted, Chaos-infested ruin.

For two years Imperial forces have slowly unpicked the Archenemy's grip on the world, finger by finger, and Adoration is all that stands between Humanity and victory.

For Colonel Gabriel 'Venom' Velterson, leader of the 2002nd Cadian Mechanised Regiment, the end cannot come quickly enough. When his troops are not bathed in the toxic light of a mysterious blue star, or enduring the endless heresy broadcast over the hijacked vox-network, they're being quarantined by the Inquisition or squandered by capricious Nymean commanders. Indeed, on the eve of the final assault, the Archenemy may be the least of his problems.

Will Adoration be the end of the campaign, or will it be the end of the regiment?
