Plot (spoilers: moderate)
The revenge of the Shattered, shadow wars, Tallarn in a wargame cross-section. A bridge between 007 and 010.M31, where the novels often jump from hero to hero while the galaxy is still burning with “small” campaigns.
Events in the book
- Shattered Legions Campaign Inconclusive
The survivors of the Iron Hands, Salamanders and Raven Guard after Isstvan V banded together into mixed detachments of no more than a thousand fighters under Iron Lord Shadrak Meduson.
- Battle of Tallarn Loyalist victory
Perturabo’s Iron Warriors dropped out of the warp and with virus bombs turned the Imperial staging world of Tallarn into a poisoned desert, seeking a buried Dark Age artefact — the “Black Oculus”.
