For the Emperor!
In the war-torn world of the 41st Millennium the forces of the Imperium are feared throughout the galaxy, and none more so than the Adeptus Astartes – the Space Marines, gene-engineered super-soldiers, warrior-monks of the Emperor who live only to fulfill his commands.
Sergeant Tarikus leads his squad of Doom Eagles on a training mission and pilgrimage to the desolate plains of Serek, a grey wasteland of shifting sands and the howling, mournful winds.
But the dead planet hides a sinister force lying dormant in the caverns below – the deadly relics from a holocaust that murdered a world.
AUTHOR’S NOTES:
“Relics” was originally published in issue #43 of Inferno!; this story follows on from the events of the Doom Eagles short story “Crimson Night“. Sergeant Tarikus also appears in the novel Black Tide and the short stories “Vigil” and “The Returned“.
