La ciudad de Baal Solock sufre el ataque de una misteriosa raza alienígena. Desesperados, sus habitantes deciden utilizar un antiguo artefacto para lanzar una señal de socorro por primera vez en más de seiscientos años. Pero, contra todo pronóstico, alguien responde a su llamada de auxilio, un único marine espacial enviado para enfrentarse al enemigo contra el que habían fracasado todos los ejércitos de Baal Solock. En la desalentadora oscuridad del futuro lejano, los audaces marines espaciales son los defensores supremos de la Humanidad. This is a collection of short stories that tie up very nicely. Main characters are members of Damocles squad of Iron Snakes Chapter. We follow them as the main character advances from the Battle Brother to full Space Marines squad commander and fights numerous foes to save humanity in the area of space Iron Snakes protect. What I like the most is the way Marines were portrayed - more humanly then usual, using actual tactics to engage their enemies and training, training .... ever training for the future endeavors. Some of tales feel like homage to the ancient Greek Hoplites - most likely Spartans, especially the first story - one Spartan for one conflict. Great read, highly recommended. This Grecian inspired Warhammer 40K novel from Dan Abnett goes down as one of his finest. Through the eyes of our new hero Priad, we are taken through a series of short stories (although they interconnect and loop back very well) that help build the reader’s sense of the Iron Snakes as more than a fighting force but rather a true legion, similar to those of ancient Greece. In any case, the novel is full of action, suspense, blood, guts, loss and all the things we’ve come to love from military sci-fi. Without giving away too much, the battle of the five phratry’s on Ganahederak is so incredibly awe-inspiring that it goes down as one of the great moments in the annals 40K. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
