Autre Adeptus Astartes

Space Hulk (couverture originale)

cette section ressence tous les récits comprenant des Adeptus Astartes qui ne font pour la plupart pas partie d’une saga. Entre nouvelles, audio dramas, et romans, toutes les possibilités de format vous seront offertes, les récits étant très souvent des  stand alone. Héros connus de l’Imperium ou pas, l’action est très souvent au rendez-vous.

Attention néanmoins car nul Space Marine du Chaos vous ne trouverez ici, ces derniers ayant leur espace dédié.

The Last Days of Ector

Hive Fleet Leviathan – billions upon billions of ravenous creatures intent on devouring every scrap of life in the galaxy. In its path is the Valedor system, five Imperial worlds zealously guarded by the Crimson Castellans Space Marines Chapter. As the planets are razed one by one, only Ector remains defiant. Faced with foes beyond number, the Crimson Castellans are confronted with an impossible dilemma – fight to the last as honour demands, or retreat to safeguard the future of their Chapter.

The Shape of the Hunt

In the wake of an apocalyptic war against the alien tau, the White Scars take to their bikes and hunt the fleeing commander of the xenos forces across the plains of Voltoris. As they chase down their quarry, the Brotherhood of the Running Star begin to realise one inescapable truth: that this will be their final hunt. But if Suljuq Khan and Stormseer Checheg are to die this day, they will ensure that they take the alien Shadowsun into oblivion with them.
4/5

The Shape of the Hunt est un audio indispensable pour tous les fans du Khan. Joe Parrino nous offre une traque aux allures de chasse aux xenos des plus sauvages. Grâce à d'adroits dialogues, l'auteur use de son talent pour faire vivre les White Scars et contribue avec panache à leur ...

In Service to Shadow (couverture originale)

In Service to Shadow

The battle for Voltoris has been won, but the war for the Damocles Gulf grinds on, world after world falling to the sinister tau ideal of the Greater Good. Despatched to the planet of Sarej in the company of a secretive and untrustworthy inquisitor, Sergeant Talow of the Raven Guard fights a shadow war as he struggles to expose a traitor to the Imperium and stop the world from turning from the Emperor’s light. As the tau influence over Sarej grows, Talow and his squad find themselves cut off from support with danger looming on all sides.
Damocles (couverture originale)

Damocles

Two centuries ago, the Imperium of Man and the upstart Tau Empire fought to a standstill in the Damocles Gulf. Now, as the 41st millennium draws to a close, the tau have returned. As the world of Agrellan falls under attack, the White Scars and Raven Guard rush to its defence, but with the skilled Commander Shadowsun leading the alien forces, the Space Marines and their allies are hard pressed. Kor'sarro Khan, Huntmaster of the White Scars, swears that he will win the day in the most direct way possible – by taking Shadowsun's head.
Trials of Azrael (couverture originale)

Trials of Azrael

As war rages in the Pandorax system, the Imperial battleship Revenge comes under attack by the dread forces of Chaos. As warriors of the Black Legion rampage through the venerable craft, Supreme Grand Master Azrael leads the First Company of the Dark Angels — the elite Deathwing — onto the vessel to eliminate the enemy. Separated from his men, Azrael finds himself trapped in the lower decks with only a tech-priest for company and one of the galaxy's most fearsome warriors hunting him: the infamous Khârn the Betrayer.
Machine Spirit (couverture originale)

Machine Spirit

When a Deathwatch mission goes awry, a kill-team led by Techmarine Zaeus are forced into a rapid and desperate exfiltration. Their captain, Polino, is badly injured. When they find their transport destroyed, its pilot dead, they know they are in trouble. Hope lies in the chance discovery of a communication from another Adeptus Astartes force on the world and the promise of reinforcement. As his brothers try to hold out against murderous alien kroot, Zaeus goes on alone to find the source of the message and bring help before it's too late.
3/5

Cette nouvelle de Nick Kyme est assez classique dans l'ensemble et accuse en plus certaines faiblesses de taille. Néanmoins le plaisir de lire un récit sur la Deathwatch ne devrait pas entamer votre morale de fer face à la horde de xenos qui arrive.

Iron Priest (couverture originale)

Iron Priest

Olvar makes his way across the ice to take part in the trials that could lead to his ascension to join the Sky Warriors, but another of Fenris’s inhabitants is trailing him… Ragnvald of the Space Wolves wages war on mankind’s foes. As the enemy strikes, all seems lost, but something else hunts with Ragnvald… How are these disparate warriors linked, and what is their destiny?

Sans trop surprendre, l'auteur nous fera passer un bon moment avec ses Space Wolves. Une histoire classique, mais qui sentira fortement le loup néanmoins.

Darnath Lysander, capitaine de la Première Compagnie d’élite des Imperial Fists, mène ses frères de bataille à l’assaut d’un monde tombé aux mains du Chaos.

3.5/5

Une chose est certaine, ce roman ne pourra pas vous laisser indifférent, certains crieront au génie, tant la prise de risque est grande, d'autres y verront un retentissant échec. Ben Counter a su me surprendre et j'apprécie, même si le roman ne manque pas de faiblesses.
