What a nice story. Finally a good old astra millitarum story featuring Mordians. They are a very interesting bunch very focus on order, disciple and duty. Their armor always pristine.
In this story we follow Myers as his company battle some feral orks. After his innitial battle he is wounded and taken back to the medicae where they acused him of self inflicted wound. From this moment on and until the last 30 pages the story resolves around him having some flashbacks as we try to understand did he really wound himself?
I wont spoiler here. Last 30 pages are a blast with more action scenes.
Very interesting story. Remind me of fifteen hours or other imperial guard novel. I do prefer them to space marines. They are more human and have doubts and change of heart.
Advisable to read to anyone who wants a nice imperial guard story primally focus on character.

Young trooper Lucius Myer, fighting in his first campaign since leaving Mordian, arrives wounded at an understaffed, overworked command post turned medical facility believing it offers safety away from the horrors of war, only to find himself defending it against endless waves of ferocious xenos. As the Mordians mount a hasty but fierce defence, Myer has to face his fears after all if he has any hope of surviving.
Told with clear, no-nonsense prose and straightforward but effective storytelling, this is a powerful depiction of what it means to be Mordian Iron Guard, and the difference – or at least the impact – that one soldier can make if given the chance. It's a pacy, entertaining read which offers both visceral action and an engaging emotional journey – exactly what an Imperial Guard story should!
