Synopsis

A lone t'au sniper takes on a full Imperial tank column, aided only by his loyal drones and emboldened by his warrior code. This is true insight into the T'au strategy of the patient hunter – the Kauyon. Read it Because Kal'va is a broken warrior, the lone survivor of a pathfinder team. Engaged with human forces, he is consumed with thoughts of revenge. But as he lures the humans into a trap that will lead to their destruction, can he remain true to the principles of his warrior code?
