Salamanders are probably most hardly hit Legion of them all (only Legion to fare worse is Iron Hands). After the slaughter on Istvaan remaining Salamanders are trying to gain the momentum and decide how to move on - great part of the Legion is missing in action, Vulkan is missing and presumed dead while those left to garrison the Salamanders home world are trying to find their purpose in the changed world and circumstances.
Tasked by Vulkan himself Forgefather K'tell leads the troops from Prometheus to hide all of the weapons forged by Vulkan. These weapons, extremely deadly must not fall into the hands of the traitors so K'tell strike force moves into the void searching for the very weapons and the safe location where to hide them.
This will lead them to contested planet where Vulkan hid his greatest weapon cache. On the planet they will encounter both the traitors and the allies ..... but who can be trusted in these days of betrayal.
While Salamanders themselves are all presented rather stoic rest of the dramatis personae aremore diverse. Traitor legions trying to make peace with their actions on Istvaan and the fact they have become no better than assassins and warlords they fought against and extinguished in the past. Shattered Legions contingent so desperate they are trying very hard to lose their lives by fighting against the impossible odds, only goal is to hurt the traitors no matter the way or means.
At times story tends to stall a bit, especially when Salamanders take the stage. I don't know why but they seem too perfect - stoic, heroic and never flinching. Only two characters here are .... more humane I suppose - old hand leading flame-throwing cadre of the strike force, Space Marine with serious issues with fire-loving and Salamander constantly haunted by burning man images. One led into battle by what is definitely insanity and other shocked by the visions and trying to overcome the feeling of unease that does inhibit him while in combat.
This is a very sad story (almost all of the Salamander and Shattered Legion stories are like this) but ending gives the glimpse of hope. And in the bleak world of W40K hope is more than one can hope for.
Recommended to all fans of Salamander Legion and Warhammer 40k universe in general. ( )
