On a deserted jungle moon, Rogue Trader Anjelika Trayn and her expedition unearth a legion of deathless horrors. The arrival of a squad of Space Marines seems like salvation, but the strange grey-clad killers may yet prove more deadly for Trayn than the ancient civilisation she has awoken.

Read it because
It's another tale of the sinister Carcharodons from the author of 'Red Tithe', and it brings the grey-armoured killers up against an interesting foe.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Robbie MacNiven is an author and freelance journalist living in the Highlands of Scotland and currently enrolled as a student at the University of Edinburgh, studying History. His ambition is to become an author in much the same way that a 5 year old, when asked what he wants to be when he grows up, will say “a fireman” or “an astronaut.” He takes thin but wholesome comfort from the fact that the world will always need authors just as it will always need firemen and (presumably) astronauts.

In between studying (at worst only a passing discomfort) and writing Robbie follows politics, football, gaming and stalks magazines and newspapers online to see if they have a “submit” button. A number of his short fiction works can be found on Amazon, and his non-fiction in such publications as Retrospect, Skirmish and Military History Monthly. Should his writing career almost invariably fail he intends to flee to North America, buy himself a musket and a red coat, and join a re-enacting group. He generally prefers cats to dogs, and is 23 years old.

A very fun little side-story about the Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines Carcharodons chapter–I’ve read other books from Robbie on this subject, as loyal readers will know. Essentially, Anjelika Trayn, an Imperial rogue trader (pretty much a 40k combination of prospector and treasure hunter) and her crew land on what seems to be an uninhabited planet. Naturally, they soon find out that it used to be inhabited, and in fact, still is, just not by humans. Judging by the Necron emblem on the cover, you can tell what aliens are sleeping there, and given the fact that this is a Robbie MacNiven story, you can bet the Carcharodons space marines will come by to deal with them!

The story, naturally, details Trayn’s attempts to survive as she’s caught between the inhuman Necrons and the almost as inhuman Carcharodons. Honestly, you don’t get as good an impression of the inhumanity of the latter in this story as you do in the others Robbie has written. There’s not much dialogue or background, it’s just a straight up tomb romp from start to finish. But if you’re looking for some action, then Robbie delivers, as always. The ending was a little happier than I expected (though not by much, obviously) and the Space Marines seem more like just generic stand-ins than the merciless but logical killing machines they were in, say, Red Tide or the other MacNiven book I read recently, “The Reaping Time.” Still, I had fun, so I’ll give this 4 stars.

Robbie MacNiven has done a fantastic job with the Carcharodons and every story. No matter how short, you add to the lore and flavor. This one is a fun, fast read and well worth the time.

A short tale of the consequences of persnal greed with wider impact on the Imperium. Met with the inevitability of unflinching vigilance.

Great short story about the mysterious Carcharodons which shows them from a humans perspective as grim and ominous dark protectors of the Imperium. I particularly enjoyed the end where we see how far they will go to protect themselves from u wanted scrutiny

Really well ties in with the books. Sets up a really good story with the Chapter and Thor ways, and just a good read for thoughs fans of the Carcharadon Astra.
Love more books to be written on them. Love to learn more about the Exiles; and, the Forgotten One's Sons.

Another great short story from Robbie McNivien. His Charcarodon Astra stories are very enjoyable and I hope this short is a precursor to another full novel.
