Summary

An Astra Militarum Audiobook

On a planet trapped in the closing jaws of the Great Devourer, Major Wulf Khan of the Catachan 903rd receives a final, desperate mission – one which will take her soldiers into the maw of the tyranid threat.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It’s a chance to see the Catachan Jungle Fighters in action on a planet almost as deadly as their homeworld. Dive into their gripping battle for survival as they face a voracious force of invading tyranids.

THE STORY

Lazulai is a world beyond the brink, its battle against the tyranids all but lost. Once-magnificent cities lie in ruin. The seas boil. The skies crack. Horrific alien bioforms devour. In mere days the planet will be consumed.

The 903rd Catachan ‘Night Shrikes’ defend one of the last fortresses still standing. Led by Major Wulf Khan, to die fighting is all that is expected of them… until she is given one last mission: to lead a squad through the apocalypse and recover a piece of archeotech that may doom or deliver the entire Lazulai System.

Facing impossible odds and zero hope for aid, the major must hold her squad together as they pick their way through an endless xenos jungle. The enemy is merciless, relentless, endlessly adaptable and formidably resourceful... but so too is Khan.

Catachan Poetry

I thoroughly enjoyed this! as a hard core Cadian collector and novel reader(listener?) I loved this insight into the Catachan from the perspective of the team in this thrilling novel.

Working through the stereotypes and cementing the Catachan as truly honorable soldiers with a good respect for their other war fighters. The first gut punch for me was "Cadia Stands". They didn't stop coming.

The horror tone was perfect. It perfectly echoed the fear I felt reading the first White Dwarf I remember about Tyranids, the death of a world being eaten alive in all its micro and macro terror.

The comedic aspects we're very well done. I remember the Sly Marbo and real world analogue jokes being told in the Troop offices!

I hope we hear more from the survivors in the future!

What do you call a cultist without a cult?

Wow what a phenomenal book doest get much better than catachan vs Tyranids unless you add the cadians too.

An epic story which gives good detail into the final days of a Tryanid Infested planet, with cultists, nids, and lots and lots of flamers. A mission that will see you apprehensive about who will survive or not.

if you love guard and like bugs this is the book for you.

cadia stands!

Catachan heroics on a dying world

Not just a great 40k novel, a brilliant bit of military sci fi in its own right. This book has everything - combat, gore, character development and a hint of romance -- everything I want in my fiction. More of Major Khan and her soldiers please!

One of the best 40k novels I've listened to!

The idea of a Catachan vs Tyranids novel really picked my interest as they're an awesome matchup, but I wasn't expecting this to be such a good story! Very human and personal, greatly expanding the lore and character of the Catachan Jungle Fighters against some of the best descriptions of the apocalyptic nature of fighting the Tyranids. A really good debut for a new writer, and brought to life by an excellent voice actress. 100% recommended!

Alien vs predator meets 40K

An absolutely great listen. Everything you want from the catachans and a unique view of the tyranids and their effect on a world. Compelling characters and a great performance.

Warhammer Romance! 😳

I have read Warhammer horror, crime, space marines etc but never romance, platonic naturally, I really enjoyed this book, it enhanced my tyranids knowledge (thank you Victoria) it was a really good behind enemy lines saving the day type story with ROMANCE, Black Library please get Victoria Hayward to continue this tale with these characters, great narration too
