Leading her troops through the hostile world of Alia in the Gallows Cluster, Minka must overcome not just conventional warfare but an entire ecosystem that hungers for Imperial blood.

A Regiment Tested to Breaking Point

The Cadian 101st were the last to escape the apocalyptic destruction of their home world. Bloodied but unbroken, they carry the weight of Cadia’s legendary military tradition on their shoulders. Now, as a new threat surges through the Gallows Cluster and threatens to collapse the entire Imperial warfront, the 101st are thrown into the breach once more. They must prove that the spirit of Cadia lives on, even as their numbers dwindle and their cohesion fractures.

The Mission

Loyal Imperial fortresses are falling on the jungle world of Alia. In a desperate gambit that represents the last hope of turning the tide, Minka Lesk’s company spearheads an operation where failure means not just their deaths but the potential loss of the entire Gallows Cluster. But this is no ordinary battlefield. The jungle of Alia is a living nightmare where every shadow conceals danger, where the flora and fauna are as lethal as any xenos threat, and where the very air seems hostile to human life.

Leadership in Crisis

As casualties mount and her regiment begins to fracture under the relentless pressure, Minka faces the ultimate test of command. How do you maintain discipline when the environment is killing your troops as efficiently as the enemy? How do you inspire soldiers to keep fighting when hope seems lost? How do you hold together a regiment that is coming apart at the seams? These are the questions Minka must answer, and the fate of the 101st hangs on her decisions.

Why This Novel Delivers

This is Imperial Guard warfare at its most visceral and unforgiving. Justin D Hill expertly combines military science fiction with survival thriller elements, creating a narrative where every page drips with tension. The jungle setting provides a fresh and terrifying backdrop that distinguishes this from typical battlefield narratives, while the focus on Minka Lesk’s leadership challenges adds emotional depth to the explosive action.
