Summary

An Astra Militarum novel.

The storm has broken, and the forces of Chaos batter against Cadia's defences. Lord Castellan Creed leads the defence of the fortress world, but for how much longer can they hold out. Cadia stands...but will it stand forever?

Listen to It Because:

Justin D Hill follows up his Ursarkar Creed short stories in Legends of the Dark Millennium: Astra Militarum with the tale of the hero's finest - and darkest - hour.

The story:

Under almost constant besiegement by the hosts pouring from the Eye of Terror, Cadia acts as a bulwark against tyranny and death. Its fortresses and armies have held back the hordes of Chaos for centuries, but that grim defiance is about to reach its end.

As Abaddon's Thirteenth Black Crusade batters Cadia's defences, and armies of the Imperium flock to reinforce this crucial world, a terrible ritual long in the making comes to fruition and the delicate balance of this brutal war shifts.

From the darkness, a hero rises to lead the beleaguered defenders, Lord Castellan Ursarkar Creed, but even with the armoured might of the Astra Militarum and the strength of the Adeptus Astartes, will it be enough to avert disaster and prevent the fall of Cadia? While Creed lives, there is hope. While there is breath in the body of a single defender, Cadia stands...but for how much longer?

Written by Justin D Hill. Running time 7hrs 39mins. Narrated by David Seddon.

Fantastic

Great book. Well performed. Story jumps around a lot so listening in sections made me want to go back and recap but not a major issue.

Thoroughly enjoyable

I struggle to read books and take in all the information and get distracted way too easily! the narrator of this audiobook kept me fully engrossed though out! i also collect cadians and didnt know any lore so it gave me a good idea of how brutal the 40k world is. nice to listen to at our family holiday recently :)

Enjoyed.

Skilled performance by narrator for what is a story of many characters of different ages and genders, admiration for a skill that many people think is straightforward.. Once again top job looking out for more. Nikki.

Battle cry 'Cadia Stands'

Wasn't sure about a Cadian sided war as I'm Black Legion and Thousand Sons, so this was a very good story to bring the two sides together, it was an amazing experience and I enjoyed this part very much. Good story and very well read, I look forward to our next encounter with much anticipation.

epic

great story that shows the truly huge scale of warfare in the dying days of the 41st Millenium. enough human touches to keep you fully engaged and enough carnage to make you gasp.

Cadia broke before the Guard

Overall not a bad book, but like another reviewer said, if you don't already know the story of the fall of Cadia you might get lost with the references.

I would recommend it purely for those chapters that dealth with the fall of Cadia and the Cadian Regiments attempt to escape. The rest was your usual bolter(las)porn.
