Description

Black Library presents the Masterworks – a curated collection of novels celebrating the very best science fiction and fantasy set in the worlds of Warhammer.

When the world of Armageddon is attacked by orks, the Black Templars Space Marine Chapter are amongst those sent to liberate it. Chaplain Grimaldus and a band of Black Templars are charged with the defence of Hive Helsreach from the xenos invaders in one of the many battlezones. But as the orks numbers grow and the Space Marines dwindle, Grimaldus faces a desperate last stand in an Imperial temple. Determined to sell their lives dearly, will the Black Templars hold on long enough to be reinforced, or will their sacrifice ultimately be in vain?

I have listened to this book, I have watched the fan made film and now I have read the book, it is without doubt the best Warhammer book ever!

Aaron Dembski-Bowden is one of my favourite Black Library authors. In Helsreach, like in so many of his books, Dembski-Bowden was able to create characters that are flawed enough that they remain compelling, and relatable despite the over-the-top insanity of space marines. Perhaps not his best work, but certainly worth a read for any 40k fan.

A re-release of one of the Black Library classics, Aaron Dembski-Bowden's Helsreach continues to be a great story - his dive into the Black Templars and the greenskin menace help set the tone for those factions for years of lore and rules, and his writing has only continued to improve. This is definitely one any WH40k fan should read.
