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 Shroud of Night, Chaos Space Marines battle for the the spoils of hive world Tsadrekha, with the arrival of Kharn the Betrayer tipping the scales somewhat. Which of the Dark Gods will claim victory over a precious artefact found on the planet is yet to be seen, but with secret weapons and the Alpha Legion present, things may turn out differently than expected.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.
