The galaxy has changed. Armies of Chaos march across the Dark Imperium, among them the Death Guard, servants of the Plague God. But shadows of the past haunt these traitors... The Death Guard have returned to prominence with the return of Mortarion and their fabulous model range, and Chris Wraight's previous work with them (in his Space Wolves novels, notably) makes him the perfect person to delve into their particular darkness. The Cadian Gate is broken, and the Imperium is riven in two. The might of the Traitor Legions, kept shackled for millennia behind walls of iron and sorcery, has been unleashed on a darkening galaxy. Among those seeking vengeance on the Corpse Emperor's faltering realm are the Death Guard, once proud crusaders of the Legiones Astartes, now debased creatures of terror and contagion. Mighty warbands carve bloody paths through the void, answering their lord primarch's call to war. And yet for all their dread might in arms, there is no escape from the vicious legacies of the past, ones that will pursue them from the ruined daemon-worlds of the Eye of Terror and out into the smouldering wastes of the Imperium Nihilus.… (altro)

Surprisingly good, this. Chris Wraight is improving as a writer and this is well paced and has good characterisation. The Death Guard have been avoided in the past, I think because it seems challenging to write semi-human monsters in a way that is both believable and in-universe-realistic. What do Plague Marines want? How can we create drama here? This works well, I really enjoyed Vorx and the Solace, they felt real. Good stuff! ( )

I imagined that I had encountered all possible cruelties.
For a long time I had understood the worst pain was to be denied that for which we thirsted. The centuries passed, each colder than the last, and that knowledge was the sharpest thorn my father had left in our flesh. But I have been wrong so often before, and so I was again then. In those days, once the Despoiler had broken the wheel of fate and our jail's walls crumbled around us, we learned just how far we had to go. The greatest cruelty, you see, was not being deprived of what we wanted. The greatest cruelty, as it turned out, was being given it. -Attributed to the primarch Mortarion
