READ IT BECAUSE
The crew from the novel Steel Tread return, and it’s another chance to get into the armoured hull of a mighty battle tank and find out what makes them tick. Their relationships and ability to work together can spell the difference between glorious victory and ignoble death. Can they come together in time to complete their mission?
THE STORY
The war for warp-cursed Croatoas rages on. Hailed as ‘Giant-killers’ for their heroics during Operation Jotunn, Lieutenant Commander Hadeya Etsul and the crew of the Leman Russ Demolisher Steel Tread are hurled right back into battle.
Assigned command of a convoy of armour and infantry, Etsul is tasked with escorting a legendary lord commissar through contested territory to stabilise the wavering Ruega Front. But with a new crew member disturbing the delicate harmony of her tank, and a malevolent nemesis lurking unseen in the high passes ahead, the mission proves even more dangerous than first thought.
As Etsul’s troubles multiply, she is forced to risk everything – even the hard-won trust of her crew – in the name of duty.
