WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK
It offers you the opportunity to see the jungle fighters of Catachan in action on a planet almost as deadly as their homeworld. Join them in their desperate struggle for survival as they face a force of hungry Tyranids.

THE STORY
Lazulai is a world on the brink, and has all but lost the fight against the Tyranids. Once magnificent cities lie in ruins. The seas boil. The sky is tearing apart. Horrific, alien bioforms devour everything. In a few days, nothing will be left of the planet.

The 903rd Catachan Regiment, the 'Night Shrikes', defend one of the last remaining strongholds. Led by Major Wulf Khan, they expect nothing but to perish fighting … until she receives one last mission: to lead a squad through the apocalypse and recover a piece of archaeotech that could save or destroy the entire Lazulai system.

Facing insurmountable odds and with no prospect of support, the Major must keep her squad together on their way through an endless xenos jungle. The enemy is merciless, relentless, incredibly adaptable and terrifyingly resourceful … but so is Khan.
