Siege of Vraks (Paperback)

Vraks is an armoury world vital to the struggling Imperium and its efforts to resist the wider threats to Humanity. The planet is a key link in the long supply chain that keeps the beleaguered Imperial regiments stationed around the Eye of Terror ready for war.

The stoic Death Korps of Krieg have been assigned to this desperate world’s defence. The grim soldiers of this regiment are born to serve the Emperor, as below Krieg’s irradiated surface is a human factory, existing only to produce soldiers destined for the front lines of the Imperium’s most toxic and gruelling warzones. These indoctrinated soldiers are unflinchingly loyal, and willing to sacrifice themselves without question or regard to ultimately win victory.

They will need all these qualities to face the horrors awaiting them on Vraks…

Understand just how the Death Korps of Krieg have earned their reputation as the Imperium’s most ruthless fighters in this gripping tale of desperate defence and defiant loyalty. Even when all seems lost, new ways to survive and fight are unearthed, as an officer named Tyborc, expecting to die, finds a new way to live.

THE STORY

Vraks has fallen.

Mustering an army from the ranks of the Death Korps of Krieg, the Astra Militarum embarks on a long and desperate siege to save the planet from the madness of an apostate preacher. It will last seventeen years, cost the lives of millions, and attract the attention of daemons and heretics alike, but the Death Korps must claw back victory, inch by bloody inch, from the hands of the enemy.
