Terminal Velocity is a short story by L.J. Goulding.

Cover Description

In the skies over Brakur IV, war rages. The tyranids of Hive Fleet Kraken have achieved air-superiority over the Imperial defenders, disrupting what should have been a simple extraction mission for the Scythes of the Emperor - and a lone battle-brother plunges from his wrecked dropship towards the planet's surface. With his life expectancy now measured only in seconds, he must find a way to slow his deadly freefall, or become just another name on a staggering list of fallen Chapter heroes...


Trivia

Notes

  • The events of this story tie in with the events of the audio drama Daedalus.
  • The identity of the falling Marine is not specified in the story. Based on the events of Daedalus, he is an Assault Marine of Squad Cassander - either Xristos or Sorgn, as the other members of the squadron are accounted for between the two stories.
