(Book 5 of the Marsh Silas series) The Vellanian Campaign draws to a close and the Kasrkin of the proud 10th Regiment celebrate their victories, promotions, and rewards. It is a time of swilling amasec and dart games in the soldier halls of the newly rebuilt capital city of Ebba. Marsh Silas and his companion Seathan Hyram, now company commanders, enjoy the prospect of reforming their units for the battles ahead.
However, the war is not over yet. New threats arise both in Ebba, in the countryside of sprawling maize and wheat, and even in the great freshwater ocean. Marsh Silas, Bloody Platoon, Avalanche Company, and the whole of 1st Battalion of the Red Banner Regiment prepare to finish off the remnants of the Ork invaders and finally restore peace to a rebuilding Vellania.

Marsh Silas III: Exemplars
(Book Four in the Marsh Silas series) Three years since the 1333rd Cadian Regiment made a final stand at Army's Meadow, Marsh Silas and the men of Bloody Platoon have veiled themselves in glory. Stars of the 10th Kasrkin Regiment, they have achieved countless victories both on the battlefield and in the halls of regimental command. Marsh Silas and Seathan Hyram are known well, for good and ill, as upstart idealists. Yet, their plans for the future of Cadia are cut short. Astropaths whisper of distress messages from all the way in Segmentum Pacificus: Orks rampage across the segmentum and now target key worlds in the hopes of inspiring a new WAAAGH! Marsh Silas must rally his veterans as well as the rabble of many disparate new recruits to not only defeat the green menace, but continue their effort to reform the Astra Militarum.

A Gift for the Long Hunt
The gift of the Rubicon Primaris and of the new, more powerful Primaris Marines is shared amongst the many chapters wich are part of the Adeptus Astartes organization. Welcomed by some, rejected or mistrusted by others, they are nevertheless a much favorable sight to the already thinly spread forces of the Imperium. Accompanied by the golden members of the Brotherhood of Demigods, the Custodians of Holy Terra, this new breed has reached all known and unknown Chapters, from the savage Space Wolves of Fenris to the tragic and rare Lamenters and beyond, yet one last offering is still to be made. Deep in the starless void, were monsters reside, great beasts hunt relentlessly. Long is their journey, started in the lost epoque of Pre-Unification. In Exile they are damned and by Duty bound, with Hunger they stalk and with the ichor of humanity's foes their thrist they Slake. Guardians, monsters, tyrants, slavers, sunderers, it matters not. Who leads and what they leave behind is nothing but a great Red Wake.Complete
Renegade (Aquila, Book 3)
[Sequel to 'Imperium'] Following the successful defense of Alamarri and the sudden withdrawal of Hepharion's Chaos Marines, Caius returned to Macragge in time to see the return of his Primarch and receive a new mission from his Captain: find Hepharion and bring him down, no matter the cost, and chase down and secure the remains of the ancient Titan project. At first, resources seem scarce with the Black Crusade taking much of the attention and firepower of the Ultramarines. However, help comes in an unexpected form when an Inquisitor's acolyte appears with an unexpected offer for the men of the Twentieth. Across the stars, Bahad is called before the Council of Farseers of his Craftworld and desperately pleads his case for his alliance with Caius and his hunt for Hepharion. However, this falls on deaf ears when the Craftworld, concerned about his continued association with the Imperium, orders him into a temporary arrest to await further judgment. While in isolation, plagued by his visions of what shall happen without his involvement, he, too, receives an unexpected visitor: a Harlequin Solitaire with a keen interest on seeing him reunited with his Ultramarine. As the two friends journey forth, their paths lead them to one another once again and to the planet of Cosperan, home to a Black Templar Crusade and the most recent spot where Hepharion's Warband was spotted. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.
