High Octane Anthology focussing on the Xenos hunting forces of the Deathwatch. It is humanity&;s darkest hour. From Imperium Nihilus to Segmentum Pacificus, the vile xenos hordes swell. If left unchecked, these ungodly beasts will savage the Imperium like scavengers upon a carcass. Only the Adeptus Astartes of the Deathwatch stand defiant before them. This noble brotherhood is the Shield that Slays; they are the watchmen of the void, their star-borne fortresses guarding the Emperor of Mankind&;s realms from terrors unimaginable. Between them, these warriors will keep the light of the Imperium burning until the stars themselves extinguish. This anthology of high-octane stories features a host of Black Library&;s finest authors, including Steve Parker, Ben Counter, David Guymer, Andy Clark and many more.
