W40K : Les Chroniques de Sabbat - Urdesh, Le Magister et le Martyre

A Warhammer 40,000 novel

A sequel to Urdesh: The Snake and the Saint, this novel again focuses on a handful of Space Marines in the city of Ghereppan on Urdesh. The Iron Snakes must decide on their own whether the cryptic message from Holy Sabbat is reliable, or whether the sinister Magister Sek is leading them all into a trap.

WHY READ IT

This intimate story offers insight into how the Space Marines fit into the larger context of the Astra Militarum war effort. The actions of a single squad of transhuman warriors can have long-term effects on the campaign.

THE STORY

Holy Sabbath performed a miracle in the devastated city of Ghereppan, but there is more to war than battle. The voice of Magister Sek still haunts the Imperial forces, minimizing their victory and denigrating their faith.

Between the deception of the Great Enemy and the capricious visions of the Saint, the Space Marines of Damocles Squad must discover the truth: is this their only chance for a decisive victory over Urdesh, or a trap that will take them all?
