Just 400some pages of setting up bad situations and space marines fighting their ways out. If that's what you're looking for this is a home run.

Generally B work. However, the first short by Wraight involves a very interesting construction and actual character development in miniature. Both of these are appreciable feats. Meanwhile, the last story brings more shape and texture to this "grim darkness of the far future" where "there is only war." We are better for the details.
But I could have gone without those two and the rest of the stories for the entry by Sanders which, involves some very bad news for the Crimson Consuls. No spoilers!
