A Warhammer 40,000 novella

A downtrodden grot is sent on a deadly mission by his brutal ork Freebooter masters — but they’ve made a big mistake. This time, their victim has a spark of rebellion burning inside him.

Why read it
Da Red Gobbo returns for another wild adventure of defiance, danger, and explosive mischief. Follow the unlikeliest of heroes as he faces deadly foes aboard a haunted space hulk — and dares to dream of Da Revolushun.

The story
Life aboard the infamous ork ship Da Jolly Smasha is tough for Bodgit, a humble grot who knows his place at the bottom of the ladder. But when Kaptin Bludhook orders him to explore a mysterious space hulk drifting through the void, Bodgit’s luck goes from bad to worse. Grots sent on such missions rarely come back — and the horrors inside this twisted, derelict ship soon prove why.

Yet something stirs within Bodgit — the rebellious spirit of Da Red Gobbo himself. As he faces daemons, monsters, and Bludhook’s cruel Flash Gitz, Bodgit must decide whether to accept his fate or rise up against his oppressors.

Can one small grot survive the perils of the void and spark a revolution among his kind — or will this be Da Red Gobbo’s final stand?
