Description
The Relentless Dead (PB)
Five centuries after a devastating Chaos plague swept across Oleris III, the planet has become a lifeless world of tombs, ossuaries and sprawling underground catacombs. Into this realm of the dead marches Colonel Graven and the 401st Krieg Regiment. They are charged with locating a missing inquisitor somewhere beneath the ruined surface.
Deep within the bone-filled tunnels, Graven’s kill team discovers that Oleris III is not as dead as it appears. Terrifying creatures stalk the darkness, while whispering spectres spread fear, mistrust and suspicion through the ranks. As allies begin to turn against one another, even the famously unbreakable discipline of the Death Korps of Krieg is pushed to its limits.
Colonel Graven must also confront the ghosts of his own past. Haunted by a tragedy of his making and unable to place his trust in those around him, he remains determined to complete his mission regardless of the cost. Yet in the labyrinth beneath Oleris III, doubt may prove just as deadly as the horrors waiting in the dark.
This paperback collection also includes a short story offering an outsider’s perspective on the relentless soldiers of Krieg.
