Description
Faced with an ork invasion of Piscina IV, the 3rd Company of the Dark Angels believes the threat to be minimal. As enemy numbers continue to increase, their commander, Captain Belial, insists that his Company are strong enough to resist. But Scout-Sergeant Naaman knows just how dangerous this foe can be, and when a renewed greenskin offensive takes the Dark Angels by surprise, the orks swarm towards Kadillus Harbour. Little do the Dark Angels know of the technological power available to the xenos, and the true scale of the threat they face. Belial, Naaman and their fellow Astartes fight a desperate siege at Kadillus, knowing that they must hold out until Imperial reinforcements arrive or the planet will be lost.

Amazing
5By TiredofcomingupwithnamesJust ignore the Yak, this is an amazing novel. It has a story that will keep you up all night. The characters are well written and can be sympathized with. Trust me, this is a must have.What a shame...
1By YakManDooTo begin, I'm a very big fan of Black Library and I've been happy with the Space Marine Battles books. However, this was the most boring and uninspired I've read. There's one character in the book to be honest, the rest have little motivation or development. The story is lethargic with the same phrases used over and over again in hackneyed attempts at action. It's a shame too as Gav Thorpe has some interesting characters in other books. Avoid this one, it's a real shame.
