Summary

A Space Marine Battles anthology

As the world of Agrellan falls under attack, the White Scars and Raven Guard rush to its defence, but with Commander Shadowsun leading the alien forces, the Space Marines and their allies are hard pressed.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

Gathered within this anthology are four action-packed novellas focusing on the cataclysmic campaign in the Damocles Gulf. Each tale sheds light on a different aspect of the war and those involved. Towering war machines duke it out on the battlefield, Space Marine and tau philosophies come under question as they clash with ally and enemy alike and hunters become the hunted as both sides try to outwit one another. You even get an insider view of how the Tau Empire treats its human collaborators and uses them as weapons

THE STORY

Two centuries ago, the Imperium of Man and the upstart Tau Empire fought to a standstill in the Damocles Gulf. Now, as the 41st millennium draws to a close, the tau have returned. As the world of Agrellan falls under attack, the White Scars and Raven Guard rush to its defence, but with the skilled Commander Shadowsun leading the alien forces, the Space Marines and their allies are hard pressed. Kor'sarro Khan, Huntmaster of the White Scars, swears that he will win the day in the most direct way possible – by taking Shadowsun's head.

Excellent for fans of White Scars or T'au

An interesting series of short stories tracking a long campaign of White Scars Vs T'au. Stories from both view points help develop the story and make it much more interesting. Not just your standard "space marines are invincible" story. Good character development. The reading is good, although the accent used for the White Scars and T'au is sometimes a little hard to understand.

The last short story is the best

A good tale that are binded together in a single book. The last short story is the best, with genuine laugh out loud moments.

This is a great accompaniment to the Shadowsun and Farsight books respectively.
