Synopsis

An Astra Militarum novel The disgraced Vostroyan 77th Imperial Guard face a violent uprising on a prison planet, not to mention the hostile attentions of their new commissar. Can they achieve victory and restore their reputation? READ IT BECAUSE It's an interesting take on the Imperial Guard – seeing a disgraced unit through the eyes of the commissar who's been sent to turn them back into a useful fighting unit. THE STORY Deployed to the prison planet of Furia Penitens to quell a violent uprising, the 77th Vostroyan Firstborn regiment of the Imperial Guard find themselves in a precarious position. The rebels are in a fortified prison-hive, all but impenetrable. A disgrace suffered by their forebears haunts them. And they hate their new commissar… Can Commissar Flint bring them victory and restore their reputation, or will the 77th fail again?
