But now he has left the Corps, driven to near madness by an overwhelming need for vengeance. He has sworn to kill Gavin Stark, the madman responsible for his mentor's death and, with a small band of dedicated followers, he is pursuing his prey across occupied space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, on a dozen colony worlds, Marines land to face the occupying forces of Stark's Shadow Legions. They are supported by the Janissaries, their longtime enemies, now turned allies, but they are exhausted and outnumbered, facing a vastly superior enemy entrenched and waiting for them. But they are veterans, Marines and Janissaries both, men and women who have battled the armies of the First Imperium and lived to tell the tale.
