Spear of the Emperor (Warhammer 40,000)

Spear of the Emperor (Warhammer 40,000) by Dembski-Bowden, Aaron. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781789990232.

Great new novel from Aaron Dembski-Bowden chronicling the story of the Emperors Spears, a Space Marine Chapter on the edge of destruction, last watchmen over the Elaras Veil nebula. Now, the decisions of one man, Amadeus Kaias Incarius of the Mentor Legion, will determine the Chapters fate… The scattered worlds of the Elaras Veil nebula were once protected by the oath of unity sworn by three mighty Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. The Star Scorpions were undone by flaws in their genetic coding. The Celestial Lions were ravaged by the Inquisition for sins they did not commit. Now, after hundreds of years, only the Emperors Spears still keep their vigil. They are barbarian watchmen against the Outer Dark; bloodied but unbroken in their long duty. Amadeus Kaias Incarius, a brother of the Mentor Legion, is commanded to cross the Great Rift and assess the Spears war-readiness, only to be drawn into the chaotic plight of a depleted crusade on the Imperiums benighted frontier. The decisions he makes, far from the God-Emperors light, will decide the fate of the war-torn Chapter.
