A Warhammer 40,000 Novel

Night has fallen on the prison world of Zartak. Renegades from the Imperium's dawn stalk the complex, delivering pain and death. Yet something just as dangerous awaits them: the brutal, predatory, but ultimately loyal Space Marine Chapter known as the Carcharodons.

LISTEN TO IT BECAUSE

It's a gripping tale, as stalking Night Lords face the Imperium's most predatory Space Marines in a darkened prison – with wardens and convicts caught in the middle.

THE STORY

On the prison world of Zartak, darkness has fallen on arbitrators and inmates alike. The Night Lords have come, bringing with them the shadow of fear and pain. But these monsters are not the only ones with an interest in Zartak. From the void, running on silent, another fleet emerges.

These Space Marine warriors are grey-clad and white-faced, and their eyes are as black as the Outer Dark – the savage Carcharodon Astra. As two packs of ancient, merciless predators stalk the shadows of the prison colony, both seeking a single young inmate with unnatural talents, the corridors run red, and both factions will have to fight tooth and claw to leave Zartak alive.

Great listen

compelling story about a really cool chapter of space marines. the dynamic between the quiet but brutal carcharodons against the more savage and taunting night lords made for a great contrast.

Amazing reading. Audio direction is great and does a wonderful job of conveying character and emotion.

Was a great 40k story. Wonderfully vivid descriptions and very interesting characters. Definitely one of the better Space Marine stories.

Was good really enjoyed the chapter

Good but had parts that how do you say needed to get to the fireworks factory. But cool to find out what happens to the night lords after their series

Insight into a secretive Chapter

Loved how formidable both loyalists and traitors were written. Gives fans of Carcharodons and Night Lords fans something to be proud of

Great book, hard to keep track

Overall the story is great, you just can’t unfocus for any amount of time because you switch perspectives so frequently that you will get confused so quickly.

Enjoyable

If you can get past the first bit where the Nightlords do what they do best and where the Space sharks actually show up it gets quite good, a bit of cat and mouse between the chapter and the warband.

Fun read

Short and simple novel. It is a good look into a controversial chapter of space marines.

New Insights

Heard of the Charcharodons before, but was under the impression they skirted the line of heretics. Especially considering the brutality of Tiberos. This story shows them in a better light as skillful hunters and those loyal to the Emperor. Interesting matchup between them and the Night Lords.

Solid and classic 40k

Feels like some 40k books try to do to much but this one does a great job of creating a great battle with solid characters.

A fantastic exploration of Space Shark lore

Exactly as the title says. McNiven helps flesh out what little I didn’t know about the Carchardons and their chapter workings. Putting them up against a Nightlords warband was so great and a grisly battle between two factions known for their unrestrained violence. Highly recommended (make sure to read the short story “The Reaping Time” first, and don’t ever bother with “Silent Hunters”, McNiven is the only person that should write Space Shark fiction)
