Summary

An Astra Militarum Novel

When the Imperial shrine world of Kathur is blighted by Chaos, the brave Guardsmen of Cadia are sent to reclaim it. Yet, they cannot imagine what lies ahead...

Listen to it because....

Aaron Dembski-Bowden's first novel, Cadian Blood is a Black Library classic, pitting a force of plucky Guardsmen from Cadia against a zombie apocalypse.

The story:

When the Imperial shrine world of Kathur is blighted by Chaos, the brave Guardsmen of Cadia are sent to reclaim it. The plague of Nurgle has set in deeply on the planet, forcing the Cadians into battle with an innumerable legion of the infected. In the midst of battle, Captain Parmenion Thade is thrust into an unlikely commanding role. Yet he cannot imagine what lies ahead on Kathur, and just how important it will be to ensure victory there.

Brilliant

An absolute pleasure to listen to. The action scenes were brilliantly written and compelling to listen to. The scale of the story and the implications of the Cadians mission is a constant build of tension and intrigue that has a satisfying conclusion.

highly recommend.

Marmite

Meaning that you will either enjoy this book or dislike it and I fall into the really enjoyed it camp, it’s got a bit of every thing in heretics, chaos marines, loyalist marines and imperial guard with a commissar and my personal favourite a mechanicum attack dog

ADB delivers.

Another excellent entry into the Cadian record, as well as into ADB Black Library record. Good narration brought the story to life.

ADBs first book, and it lands with a bang!

Very enjoyable book, and a strong opening for ADB. Really great to go back and listen to this after finishing his Siege of Terra novel “Echoes of Eternity”. While he has clearly developed his craft between this and now, his voice and consistency in quality is second to none. One of the best in the business right now.

Cadia stands

In the past I haven't really been impressed with ADB, but this book really lived up to my expecations. An interesting story, the end of which gave me goosebumps. The voice actor was new for me and he did a good job, but its not the best voice acting I've heard.

Good book, nice story

Is a good guardsman story. Is not part of any series like it is labelled though. Is more part of the new death guard cadia fighting setting storyline if anything.
Was actually alright for being one of the newer stuff. Good build up and interesting characters.

Not part of any 'Black Legion' series.

I bought this book as I it thought it was the 3rd book in the Black Lefion series. I was disappointed to find it was not. As per other reviews, the story is good, but I marked it down as it was not what I was expecting.
it is based on the lives of a few guardsman fighting a losing battle... Characters are good with typical squadie banter.. in the 41st century.. worth a read but..
