Publisher's summary

An Astra Militarum novel.

The Death Korps of Krieg are deployed to a soul-crushing siege in the Octarius War Zone. They’re the right regiment for the job, though victory might come at a price that some might balk to pay.

Listen to it because: Steve Lyons lifts the mask on the enigmatic Death Korps of Krieg, to show us the true horror that lies at the heart of this storied regiment. If you’re looking for a meat-grinder war, you’ve found it.

The story: Krieg is a dead world.

Fifteen hundred years ago, it declared its independence from the Imperium of Man and paid the price. One loyal soul defied its treacherous rulers and laid the world to waste. From these ashes emerged a unique fighting force, forged and tempered in nuclear fire....

Today, the Death Korps of Krieg lay siege to a captured hive city on the outskirts of the system-spanning Octarius War, in a desperate attempt to secure the cordon that stops untold masses of Orks and Tyranids from spilling out into the Imperium at large. The Korpsmen are relentless, ruthless, implacable and unstoppable, even in the face of a war that seems unwinnable. How far will they go to achieve victory, and is history doomed to repeat itself?

Written by Steve Lyons. Narrated by Timothy Watson. Runtime nine hours 34 minutes.

Absolute Banger of a book

Excellent delivery, great story, and finally some exposition on everyone's favorite shovel bois. I can't wait to re-listen while I paint my future Krieg sets

good if you don't know about krieg

if you know the story of the death korps already then you know half of the books story. it adds more details but not much.

Timothy Watson, you glorious man.

First of all, as with most warhammer novels, it’s story (with proper context) is incredibly written. It was so entertaining and had multiple moments where I disturbed people around me with how suddenly excited something made me. The narrator, Timothy Watson was amazing and had different inflections for each character that kept them perfectly distinct the whole time. And overall his voice made this story even better.

Love me som Death Korp

A good book that show just how cool the death Korp is. Just wish GW would add more plastic models so that I could build out this army for the tabletop.

Welcome to the Death Korps

Switching between a battlefield in the era indomitus where the Krieg fight to the founding of what became the Death Korps, this is a fun and excellent read delving into the origins of the Death Korps while still keeping more than a few secrets for those 40K fans who are kept guessing about the infamous men of Krieg.

Excellent Story

Well written and engaging story with an excellent reading by Timothy Watson. It is tragic in the extreme but gets to the heart of the Imperium. My only question is why are the Cadians from the West Country?

Better than I expected.

Always thought that the Death Corp would be fairly one dimensional this brought some depth to the background that I wasn't aware of. Good read.

WAR

an excellent book introducing one The Imperium of Man's most loyal and fervent soldiers. the Krieg as in its name is all about War. the reading gives the listener and excellent and comprehensive understanding of who and what the Death Korps is all about. 10/10

If you like Krieg this is your book.

Well told and very gritty this is the book for Death Korps fans. It tells their origin and how they are today. Great Characters too.

Awsome story.

I definitely loved this one enough to listen to it three times now.

If your intrested in this book, the regiment itself or the guard in general, get it.
