Description

This book describes the Damnos War Zone. It features not only the original Damnos Incident, but also the struggle for control of the planet twenty-five years later, when five entire companies of Ultramarines, under the command of Marneus Calgar himself, returned to Damnos. There, they would engage the combined might of the Sautekh and Nihilakh dynasties, and the war machines the Necrons brought to bear. The Ultramarines’ arrival in force and their vindictive campaign would proclaim the Imperium’s total dominance – provided they were able to overcome the many secrets lurking beneath the snow-bound planet’s crust.^[1]
