A brutal collection of a novel, a novella, and three short stories explores the sheer terror of facing the Orks in battle within the universe of Warhammer 40,000. These xenos are as savage as they are cunning, a constant green tide threatening every corner of the Imperium. The question remains: can the Space Marines and Astra Militarum possibly hold them back, or will they be overwhelmed?
READ IT BECAUSE
Three acclaimed Black Library authors—Dan Abnett, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, and Sandy Mitchell—bring their signature styles to this action-heavy anthology. Across multiple warzones, the forces of the Imperium are pushed to the brink as they confront relentless Ork invasions.
THE STORY
Ferocious, unstoppable, and fiercely instinctive, the Orks represent one of the galaxy’s most dangerous and widespread threats, leaving devastation wherever they gather in force.
In I Am Slaughter by Dan Abnett, the Imperial Fists leave Terra for the first time in centuries, only to encounter an enemy far more numerous—and far greener—than expected.
In Sandy Mitchell’s Caves of Ice, Commissar Ciaphas Cain investigates disappearances on a frozen world, only to find himself caught between an Ork invasion and something far more sinister beneath the ice.
Aaron Dembski-Bowden’s Helsreach follows the Black Templars as they make a desperate last stand to defend Hive Helsreach against overwhelming odds.
Three additional short stories—one from each author—further explore the desperate struggle of Imperial forces attempting to stem the Ork advance across the galaxy.
