Summary
A Minka Lesk Novel
As Cadia burned, one young recruit rose to prominence. Now a respected captain, Minka Lesk and her Cadian 101st are on a mission to track down the missing 8th Regiment on a nightmarish war-wracked planet.
LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE
The next chapter in Minka Lesk's saga after her battles in Traitor Rock shows us both the horror and glory of the Cadian legacy in a violent galaxy.
THE STORY
The forces of Cadia struggle ever onward, desperate to avenge the destruction of their home world and prove that even in the wake of profound loss, they remain the exemplars of the Astra Militarum.
When Minka Lesk and the Cadian 101st discover a relic of the missing Cadian 8th – thought lost in the planet’s defence – they see an opportunity to right a past wrong, and follow the trail to Telken’s Rest, a world at the core of the Chaos warlord Drakul-zar’s collapsing regime.
But the Imperium are not the only force to pounce upon the carcass of Telken’s Rest, and Minka soon discovers that there are dark secrets hidden amidst the icy sprawl of hab blocks and manufactoria. As the past comes back to haunt them, the Cadian 101st face a choice – will they stand firm and do what needs to be done, or will the spectre of what they have lost lead them astray?
Written by Justin D Hill. Narrated by Colleen Prendergast. Running time is 9 hours and 31 minutes (approx).

Nice for continuation but…
It doesn’t really go anywhere the story doesn’t really have a beginning or an end it’s just the action in the middle which is somewhat lack lustre, it’s nice to see Minka moving forward but it just feels like she’s move forward around a parade circle they story is Ok but it’s not Gaunt’s Ghosts

Good listen
I enjoyed the book (I have enjoyed all the authors books) but this felt like it could have been shorter and less meandering

Great stories
Always been a catachan player myself. But really enjoyed following this story line. I Hope more come out. There is scope to go back and feature more from her. Lesk reminds me of a Cadian version of Richard Sharpe of the 95th rifles.

Good but….
Really enjoyed the story but the end felt very rushed and left me with questions, not because of cliffhangers but rather threads just not being tied off.

Really good
Miska is quickly becoming a favourite of mine. so often officers are made out to idiot nobles but Miska is sharp and cares for her troops.
Cant wait for more books.

Great story but some issues with narration
This is another great Minka Lesk story, with some solid action throughout, but perhaps less character development than in previous titles in the series.
The narrator has a strange tendency to whisper-shout when characters are shouting, which sometimes takes away from the mounting drama in an action scene. It's almost like the narrator was recording the dialogue in her apartment and was afraid to shout in case it bothered her neighbours!
