READ IT BECAUSE
It’s the penultimate instalment in The Beast Arises series and the stakes couldn’t be higher… We’d love to say more, but it might spoil the massive events that have happened so far, and those still to come! Just read it and see for yourself.AdvertisementTHE STORY
The Imperium’s attempts to defeat the ork menace seem doomed to failure; it is only a matter of time before the greenskins triumph, and mankind is wiped from the face of the galaxy. Yet there is some cause for hope – the psychic weakness of the orks has been discovered, and a few Sisters of Silence yet survive. Supported by the full military might and technology of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the Space Marines head to the orks’ home world one final time. This time there will be no retreat, no surrender. They must succeed… or die in the attempt.Written by Rob Sanders
The Beheading $15.99 (eBook)
The Beast Arises Book 12
The final book in the series
The war is over and mankind is saved. But when war ends, politics takes over, and one man realises that the High Lords who nearly doomed the entire Imperium must be culled. It is time for the Beheading to begin…
READ IT BECAUSE
Throughout the series, the political machinations have been as fascinating and compelling as the all-out action – and now it’s time for that to take centre stage as assassination and plotting takes over from brutal combat.
THE STORY
Across the length and breadth of the galaxy, humankind celebrates its salvation, and relishes the prospect of a return to peace. But the war against the orks has riven the political bedrock of the Imperium, exposing its rotten core. One man, one powerful man, decides he has the solution, and launches a campaign of destruction so terrible that thousands of years later his actions will still be viewed with horror.
Written by Guy Haley
The official release dates for these books are October 8th for “Shadow” and November 12th for “Beheading.” And I warned minor spoilers because it was a safe bet that Terra wouldn’t be wiped out and the Imperium would eventually defeat the Ork threat. The real mystery now is how exactly they pulled it off and what the aftermath is going to be. There are BILLIONS of losses on both sides of this conflict and now it’s going to be interesting to see how the High Lords of Terra respond…
Maybe the Beast wasn’t the ‘Ork’ after all…
