Set many thousand years outside of what we think of as the future, the world of Warhammer 40,000 sees humanity on its knees in a hopeless battle against evil forces and a multitude of alien races. The antithesis of other popular science fiction franchises, this Grimdark vision gives readers one of the grandest settings even conceived and a huge sandbox for story telling.In Cadia Stands, the forces of the Imperium stand defiant against Chaos on Cadia, the first line of defence from the Eye of Terror. The Astra Millitarum (formerly known as the Imperial Guard) have proudly defended humanity on this Fortress World throughout Abaddons Black Crusades, but could their time be up?One of many books set in the 41st millennium, this novel is great for fans of the game, video games or avid readers in general. Equal parts Science fiction and fantasy, there is a very good reason that Warhammer 40,000 has been steadily gaining popularity with young and old since 1987.
