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.

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.

As Guilliman, Regent of Terra, heads off to lead the Indomitus Crusade, he leaves behind a world still in turmoil, beset by cult activity. Stripped of its huge armies for the galactic offensive, recovery is precarious. The Custodians do what they can while keeping the Palace secure, and the Sisters of Silence rebuild their citadel on Luna. When the warship Phalanx returns, it seems that stability will at last be assured. However, as reconquest forces push out further into the slums, they come across signs that another mysterious foe is active.

I must say that this series of novels are the best 40k fiction I have listened to so far. I really hope to see it continue in the future.

Story
With her mighty wings spread wide and Ardent Blade aflame, Saint Celestine is the living embodiment of the God-Emperor’s wrath. Her halo blazes like a star upon the smog-wreathed, blood-soaked battlefields of the 41st Millennium; its holy light leading the faithful to victory time and time again. As heretics and daemons tear at her flesh, she calls down fires of retribution from on high to smite the wicked and unrighteous. If she is to fall in battle, none should mourn as she is Celestine, the Living Saint, and death is her duty.

An intriguing look into the metaphysics of 40k.

I wonder. Was the scene with Celestine and Hope in that idyllic place the work of the Emperor or Slanesh. Maybe it's just me, but I found that scene suspicious.

This novel really captures the essence of why The Deathguard fell to Chaos. And why for some of them, that is not such a bad thing.

Really came to love the Blood Angels and Commander Dante in this one. This was my first foray into 40k novels, though I have been a fan for years. Looking forward to more from Haley, and more narration from Armstrong. Great work!
