In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, the Imperium is protected by
Space Marines, superhuman warriors who
battle tirelessly to protect humanity
from aliens and the dark powers of Chaos. The White Scars are an old and
noble
Chapter, their apparent wildness and savagery hiding a cultured and
spiritual nature. When one of their recruiting worlds comes under threat from a
splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Leviathan, Joghaten Khan leads the Fourth Company
to protect the planet from the rampaging tyranids. But all is not as clear as it
seems. The White Scars find their efforts
hampered by mysterious enemies,
though they also receive an offer of aid from a most unexpected quarter.
Without
help, their mission looks next to impossible, but are their newfound
allies to be trusted?
Space Marine legion the White Scars must stop the tyranids from rampaging through their home world, in an adventure written by the acclaimed new Warhammer 40,000 fiction writer behind "Carcharadons: Red Tithe".
