Dark Adeptus is the second book of the Grey Knights (Novel Series) by Ben Counter, originally published in 2006.

Cover Description

One hundred years ago, the forge world of Chaeroneia disappeared amidst rumours of corruption and civil war. Now it has returned and the once teeming factory planet is now a silent sentinel floating through space. Is it an empty tomb or a foul nest of Chaos? That is the question facing Captain Alaric of the Grey Knights. The elite daemon hunters are charged with a new mission: to investigate Chaeroneia, determine the presence of any daemonic influence and terminate with extreme prejudice. However, nothing can prepare even the Grey Knights for what they find on the planet's surface. One hundred years of isolation has corrupted the engineer-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus beyond all imaginings, and their monstrous, possessed machines prowl the surface like predators. In order to complete their mission, the Grey Knights must rely on their faith, and trust a ghost lurking in the machine!

Summary

This time the story goes to Chaeronia, a forge world that has disappeared for a century, only to come out of the warp in the middle of a new system, disrupting the planetary alignments. The Grey Knights are called to investigate. What they find there is something... Chaotic.
