"It is the 41st Millennium and there is only war. The galaxy is aflame and no one can stop it. On a small, forgotten world a minuscule particle of humanity are locked in a desperate struggle for survival against a terrible foe. This is not where the story begins, but it is where we start." Part one of an (as yet unnamed) short story collection centered around an ad-hoc regiment of Imperial Guard trying to weather a Warpstorm and savage Xenos at the same time.
