The stalwart heroes of mankind level their lasguns and hold the line against an unforgiving galaxy in this week’s pre-orders from Black Library. Rising star Minka Lesk kicks things off with her next major novel, while the legendary Tanith First and Only are rewarded with a real life piece of regimental history!
Shadow of the Eighth
The legendary Cadian 8th – the former regiment of Lord Castellan Ursarkar Creed – were thought lost when their homeworld fell to Abaddon the Despoiler. Until a relic of the lost regiment turns up in the hands of Captain Arminka Lesk and the Cadian 101st, and with it the chance to right a wrong in the Cadians’ tumultuous past.
Unfortunately, they’re not the only ones with their eyes on the prize, and in Shadow of the Eighth by Justin D Hill, the 101st will need to make a bitter choice that risks damning them all to an ignominious end. This epic new novel is available to pre-order today in hardback, eBook, and MP3 audiobook editions, continuing Minka Lesk’s saga in the aftermath of Traitor Rock.
