War of Secrets
THE STORY
Lieutenant Xedro Farren is a Primaris Marine, stronger and more adept than even the Space Marines his brotherhood is sent to fight alongside. As the Dark Angels and the Primaris Marines fight a trauma-scarred force of T’au hellbent on destroying their former allies, the true quarry becomes clear – the shadowy instigator of a psychic curse that could plunge a string of Imperial planets into madness. As worlds burn in the fires of battle, an unthinkable pact is struck, with the Primaris Marines peeling back layer after layer of deceit to find the appalling truth. Can Farren hope to emerge from this web of lies without losing his honour – or come to that, his life?
Written by Phil Kelly
Approx running time 9 hours 49 mins. Narrated by Phil Kelly and John Banks.
Indomitus
THE STORY
For nearly ten years, the Indomitus Crusade has waged a war of defiance and reconquest in the war-torn Imperium. Attached to Crusade Fleet Quintus – dubbed the Cursed Fleet by many – the Ultramarines of the Ithraca’s Vengeance are drawn to a stricken world. With millions enslaved, a malign necron technology siphons the souls of the innocent and heralds the Silent Kingdom’s expansion. The Ultramarines face an impossible decision: mount a desperate last stand to destroy the Pariah Nexus, or break away and damn the entire sector to bring word of this ancient foe’s resurgence to the only being capable of halting it – the Lord Primarch Roboute Guilliman.
Written by Gav Thorpe.
Audio approx running time 9 hours and 51 minutes. Narrated by Robin Bowerman
Sacrifice
THE STORY
When their lander crashes, Sister Superior Augusta and her Sisters are saved from death by the Emperor’s mercy – but thrown into an industrial hellscape. With an injured Sister Hospitaller in tow, the five Battle Sisters from the Order of the Bloody Rose must navigate the chem-shrouded streets of an industrial world as they seek salvation. Surrounded by enemies and with no idea of where safety lies, the challenge before them is great, and may require sacrifice if their goal is to be met.
Written by Danie Ware
Ghosts of Khapthar
THE STORY
The undersea enclave of Khaphtar is in danger. The seas where they have long made their home have been invaded by the servants of the soulthief Nagash. All around them, mighty creatures of the deeps are dead and dying, and without them, the delicate balance of life in the region is doomed. The only hope for salvation is a difficult journey across the land to the enclave of Mor’phann in search of aid – but even if Akhlys and her fellow warriors survive the hazardous journey, there is no guarantee that their isolationist kin will help them…
