Crucible of Fire (HB)

A 288-page Warhammer 40,000 novel Lieutenant Kallisto Rytsar never planned on becoming a hero, but circumstances leave him with little choice. After his company is devastated, Rytsar leads the remaining Astra Militarum tank crews to a vital manufactorum, hoping to hold their position until reinforcements arrive. Their refuge soon becomes a battlefield when a powerful ork warband, led by a cunning and ambitious boss, targets the facility for plunder. With the enemy closing in from every direction, Rytsar is forced to make desperate choices, including arming wounded soldiers and manufactorum workers to strengthen the defence. Why Read It? Experience a tense story of survival, leadership, and desperate resistance as an outnumbered Imperial force fights to protect a crucial asset from an overwhelming ork assault. With resources running low and reinforcements uncertain, every defender must play their part. Written by Tom R Pike.
