On the forge world of Sareme, as the forges are overrun by hereteks and the Great Rift sears the skies, Magos Domina Calliope Vartothex seeks out the silent bulk of the Warlord Titan Fury of Mars. Accompanied by the last failing remnants of her skitarii allies, Calliope holds the final, faint chance of survival for the Adeptus Mechanicus on Sareme, which rests upon her ability to connect with the Fury of Mars’ ancient Machine Spirit.
A classic tale of a few desperate Imperial souls searching for survival against the overwhelming forces of Chaos, this also deals with the duality at the core of the Mechanicus. For all her Omnissiah-forged gifts and strength, Calliope is still human but perhaps it’s that humanity which will allow her to succeed. Collins gives character and personality to Calliope and her followers, and a grim sense of unease to the once-glorious Titan, bound up in a lingering feeling of sadness at what’s been lost.

A fun look at Skitarii and Titans. Although, once again I'm not sure if GW actually knows how the inner workings of their creations are laid out. That was MUCH tooo big & roomy in there.

A great debut that follows very much in the footsteps of Spiritus in Machina from Inferno! Volume 2, taking a different perspective on the standard Mechanicus story we typically see.
