After the cataclysmic events of Only In Death, Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt leads the Tanith First-and-Only – his Ghosts – in the defence of a bridge on an unnamed planet deep in the Sabbat Worlds. But something is wrong: long-dead Ghosts live again, and time isn't running as it should. Worst of all, the spoiled-meat sky with its iron star is affecting Gaunt. He is exhausted, and his eyes hurt… Read it because It provides a fitting – and at times deeply emotional – epilogue to the dramatic events of 'Only in Death' and sets Gaunt up for the next chapter in his life after coming closer to death than ever before.
