About this listen

An Astra Militarum Novel

A young soldier of the Astra Militarum is thrust onto a battlefield where the average life expectancy is just fifteen hours – facing brutal orks, artillery bombardment, and the horrors of no man's land.

Listen to it because

It's a sharp, incisive look at the first hours of war for a new Guardsman, and all the terrors that accompany it…

The story

Arvin Larn is terrified. On the battlefields of the far future, only an insane man wouldn't be. Seventeen years old and still new to the Imperial Guard, he is thrust straight into his first war, and must face horrors that his sheltered upbringing could never prepare him for. The trenches of the 41st millennium are filled with worse things than rats and trenchrot. For one, the world they fight for is being contested by the monstrous alien orks. The greenskins live for battle and fight without fear, so it's no wonder that the average life-span of an Imperial Guardsman on this forsaken world is only fifteen hours.

I loved this story, gives a genuine insight to the bleak life of the guard. Humanises the struggle and gives you a genuine glimpse into what a day in the Astra Militarum is like.

Melancholic yet brilliant

Very good book, I very much enjoyed how much effort was put into the story. It encapsulates what 40K is really about.

Impactful

Absolutely loved this book as a paperback as it was the first 40k book I picked up, astounding performance with great range, the only downside (which is a personal preference) is that one of the main characters is read with a Scouse accent, and no offence to anyone from that region, but I find it incredibly grating

brutal short story
