Death Rider – The War for Rezlan VI

On the devastated world of Rezlan VI, the battle has ended, but the conflict between the Imperium and the T'au Empire continues in a relentless stalemate. Following a decision by an Imperial battleship that condemned the planet to a slow death, Commissar Valian Hesh of the Death Korps of Krieg faces an extraordinarily difficult task. He must prevent the 472nd Siege Regiment of Krieg from launching a final suicidal assault on enemy lines. Time is running out, and Hesh has very few allies, among them his enigmatic prefectus militant. To save his soldiers, he must risk everything, even as he faces the possibility of losing himself in the struggle. The novel is written by Rhuairidh James.
