BLOOD OF THE IMPERIUM (PB)

A Warhammer 40,000 Anthology


The 41st Millennium is a dark and terrible era where you will find little comfort or hope. Forget the power of technology and science. Forget the promise of progress and advancement. Forget any notion of common humanity or compassion. There is no peace amongst the stars, for in the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.


READ IT BECAUSE


Featuring stories by some of Black Library's best-loved authors, this collection is an ideal way to explore the setting of Warhammer 40,000. These 11 tales feature Space Marines, alien invasions, and brutal battles for survival.


THE STORY


In the grim darkness of the far future, the Imperium fights for its very existence across the breadth of the galaxy, as those loyal to the Emperor of Mankind defend their realm from the mindless brutality of the orks, the ravenous hive fleets of the tyranids, and countless more enemies besides.


Blood of the Imperium includes an in-depth and harrowing account of a tyranid invasion; the saga of Fjolnir, a Wolf of Fenris taken from his brothers in defence of the Imperium; and a bunch of orks discovering first-hand just how cruel the drukhari can be.
