Black Library: Storm of Iron
STORY
On the nightmare battlefields of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, few foes spark more fear and dread than the Chaos Space Marines. Now hell has come to Hydra Cordatus, for a massive force of brutal Chaos assault troops have invaded the planet. How long can the defenders possibly hold out?
Writer’s Commentary
One of the most (for the time) distinctive aspects of this novel was that Chaos won, which I think was a first for a Black Library publication. After the novel was written, but before it hit the shops, I was stopped several times in the corridors of Games Workshop by people who’d recently read Storm of Iron. They told me that they enjoyed it (which was nice), but that…that…Chaos won…how could that be? The Imperium always won at the end of a novel…didn’t they? Well, no, not always.
