Mgła wojny przesłania wszystko. Wrogowie czyhają w ciemności, czają się w sercu floty, która przysięgła bronić Zjednoczonej Ziemi. Wszędzie tylko spiski i morderstwa, a w tle… czekają siły inwazyjne obcych. Szczątki okrętu Golgotów zostały pogrzebane głęboko pod powierzchnią największego księżyca Saturna. Masa Tytana powoli, lecz nieuchronnie wzrasta. Dolmasi, podczas drugiej wojny z Rojem sojusznicy Zjednoczonej Ziemi, atakują ludzi bez powodu.

Ziemia plonie. Rój przemierza kosmos i podbija swiaty na swojej drodze. Oplakujemy miliony towarzyszy broni, którzy polegli na tysiacach zniszczonych okretów. Wszyscy zgineli - miliony ojców, matek, sióstr i braci. Juz czas, abysmy zakonczyli te walke. Pora na nasz ruch. Nie ma zwyciestwa bez ofiar. Nie ma szkolen ani nauki, jak zostac bohaterem. Tacy jak on powstaja z krwi, ruin i zgliszczy. Podreczniki do historii naszych wnuków opowiedza jego legende i beda glosic chwale poleglych.

When Somerton County "bad girl" Leona Darling goes missing, Deputy John Lee Quarrels is ordered to find her. How hard could it be? Just look in the nearest gin mill, right? But Leona was nowhere to be found. As he begins asking questions, John Lee discovers that Leona was a badge bunny, a cop groupie who was well-known on a less than professional basis by many of his fellow lawmen. He also discovers that asking questions can get you into trouble, especially when the people you are asking wear badges, carry guns for a living, and have something to lose.

When the father he never knew shows up at his house in the middle of the night, beaten and his body mutilated, with only a vague explanation of what happened to him, Somerton County Deputy John Lee Quarrels suspects there's more to the story than he is being told.

But when a road construction crew unearths the skeletons of three murder victims, John Lee suddenly finds himself on the trail of a killer who may well have died long before the deputy was even born.

Born of the fiery world of Nocturne, the Salamanders believe in self-sacrifice and the sanctity of human life. Their father, Vulkan, was raised on this world, a blacksmith's son from humble origins who became a primarch of the Emperor of Mankind and forged his sons into a Legion. Their saga is one of heroism, betrayal, tragedy and rebirth. They have returned from the edge of extinction more than once, forever embattled, never bowed, the Legion and their primarch the epitome of defiance in the face of adversity. Unto the anvil, born of flame.

In its earliest days, the III Legion was blighted by a genetic flaw that threatened to end the Phoenician's bloodline forever. Fortunately, through tireless effort and the miracle of the primarch's own genetic perfection, visionaries like Apothecary Fabius were able to halt the corruption and restore the Emperor's Children to their former glory. Except, it would seem, that a terrible secret has been kept from the rest of the Legion, and the threat of further degeneration is quite real....
