About this listen

An Astra Militarum Novel

When the Imperial shrine world of Kathur is blighted by Chaos, the brave Guardsmen of Cadia are sent to reclaim it. Yet, they cannot imagine what lies ahead...

Listen to it because....

Aaron Dembski-Bowden's first novel, Cadian Blood is a Black Library classic, pitting a force of plucky Guardsmen from Cadia against a zombie apocalypse.

The story:

When the Imperial shrine world of Kathur is blighted by Chaos, the brave Guardsmen of Cadia are sent to reclaim it. The plague of Nurgle has set in deeply on the planet, forcing the Cadians into battle with an innumerable legion of the infected. In the midst of battle, Captain Parmenion Thade is thrust into an unlikely commanding role. Yet he cannot imagine what lies ahead on Kathur, and just how important it will be to ensure victory there.

No need for a build up, no messing about! That's right ladies and gents, this is pure action, action, action! Black library classic? yeeeeaaaah, 100%
Brilliantly gory. Like an 80's zombie film classic.

ADB always has a thread of humour that runs though his tails. Love it.

Great book if you want war, guts and glory.

Is it worth the credit? Yes. Get stuck in and smash some Heretics!

Bang, you're straight into the action!

An absolute pleasure to listen to. The action scenes were brilliantly written and compelling to listen to. The scale of the story and the implications of the Cadians mission is a constant build of tension and intrigue that has a satisfying conclusion.

highly recommend.

Brilliant

ADB comes through as usual in a short but solid book for 40k, my one glaring issue is that I really would have preferred actual zombie combat over renegades and cultists

A solid 40k tale

Really enjoyed this one from opening to ending. Didn’t drift off once which I am prone to do.

Excellent

Is a good guardsman story. Is not part of any series like it is labelled though. Is more part of the new death guard cadia fighting setting storyline if anything.
Was actually alright for being one of the newer stuff. Good build up and interesting characters.

Good book, nice story
