Death Rider – Rhuairidh James (A Death Korps of Krieg Novel, Warhammer 40,000)

A commissar of Krieg, a regiment ready to die, and a deadlocked war against the T’au.

The battle for Rezlan VI is over, but the war is not. An Imperial battleship has left the ravaged world to a slow death, and the T’au and the Imperium are locked in stalemate on its surface. Commissar Valian Hesh of the Death Korps of Krieg now faces a different fight: stopping the 472nd Siege Regiment from launching a suicidal final assault on the enemy lines. He has little time and few allies, and the most important of them is his cryptic prefectus militant, Jens.

Death Rider is a Death Korps of Krieg novel by Rhuairidh James. It’s a grim, atmospheric story of the Imperium’s most fatalistic regiment, mixing trench warfare and cavalry charges with the hard choices of a commissar trying to keep his soldiers alive. It’s a must-read for fans of the Death Korps, the Astra Militarum and military science fiction.
