WHY READ THIS BOOK

Here, we rub shoulders with the relentless Catachan Jungle Guards as they prepare to give their all for victory.

THE STORY

When Colonel Haskell "Hellfist" Aldalon and the 57th of the Catachan Jungle Guards land on the planet Gondwa VI, they find it under the yoke of an ever-growing greenskin threat. Rather than bolster the meager defenses, they decide to go on the offensive and retake Outpost Four... but they find themselves burdened with the sole survivor of the outpost's fall, the barely-trained soldier Torvin of the 2nd Skadi Infantry. As the Astra Militarum and the orks clash, and Colonel Aldalon must shoulder the true cost of victory, Torvin finds himself as much threatened by the Jungle Guards, who suspect him of cowardice, as by the vile xenos... unless he can overcome this trial by fire and earn the respect of the Catachan Devils, but also his place among them.
