Jasper Nevin is a commissar… and he is afraid. Not even the rigorous and brutal teachings of the Schola Progenium have truly shaken the fear from him, and as he faces rebel soldiers, fear takes him. But in truth, it is not Nevin’s enemies who scare him the most, but the troopers who it is his responsibility to shepherd… the warriors of the Catachan 64th. With his authority in tatters and the Catachans rarely more than a moment from violence, Nevin faces an uncertain future…

Written by Matt Smith

Spear of the Emperor: $ 16.99

The scattered worlds of the Elara’s Veil nebula were once protected by the oath of unity sworn by three mighty Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. The Star Scorpions were undone by flaws in their genetic coding. The Celestial Lions were ravaged by the Inquisition for sins they did not commit. Now, after hundreds of years, only the Emperor’s Spears still keep their vigil. They are barbarian watchmen against the Outer Dark; bloodied but unbroken in their long duty.

Amadeus Kaias Incarius, a brother of the Mentor Legion, is commanded to cross the Great Rift and assess the Spears’ war-readiness, only to be drawn into the chaotic plight of a depleted crusade on the Imperium’s benighted frontier. The decisions he makes, far from the God-Emperor’s light, will decide the fate of the war-torn Chapter.

Written by Aaron Dembski-Bowden. Running time 11 hours and 46 minutes. Performed by Kelly Hotten.
