Warhammer 40000 - The Dark Coil: Damnation (PB)

A Warhammer 40,000 Omnibus

On the surface, the galaxy’s finest warriors ward against the dark forces that plague humanity, but emerging cracks are everywhere. Chaos festers within the sprawling web of the Dark Coil, and xenos threats grow ever stronger.

READ IT BECAUSE
The Dark Coil continues to wrap its tendrils around the grim darkness of the far future. Peter Fehervari, a master of the horror at the heart of Warhammer 40,000, explores the deepest recesses of both the mind and the stars in a series of seemingly disparate stories that combine into a whole more sinister than the sum of its parts.

THE STORY
In The Reverie, the dark secret of a seemingly glorious Chapter of Space Marines is exposed, while The Crown of Thorns, The Sins of My Brothers, and The Thirteenth Psalm follow as the censured Space Marines seek to atone for their sins.

Nightbleed brings us to the bowels of a hive city where a disgraced medicae and a street preacher find their fates intertwined.

Nightshift Nineteen tells the tale of a cursed hive city maintenance crew plagued by seemingly random misfortunes.

Requiem Infernal and Aria Arcana follow the Adepta Sororitas of the Last Candle, exploring deeply-held secrets as remnants of a decimated Astra Militarum force seek aid.

In The Walker in Fire, a Deathwatch Space Marine of the Salamanders is sent on a mission to find and eradicate a pair of rogue Adeptus Mechanicus agents.

Finally, Nightfall sees young men take part in a ritual they don't truly understand, with the Night Lords waiting in the wings.
