All Hail The Emperor

Richard Stanton considered himself to be a normal guy – a normal guy with a recent streak of bad luck. But when a roadside attack by a group of mysterious strangers leaves him and his best friend, Jeff, running for their lives, Rich must come to grips with reality as he knows it, and find the courage to face his responsibilities. Catapulted on a journey leading from a lakeside cabin to Imperial palaces, from underwater highways to massive orbital battle stations, and from an asteroid field to the heart of the enemy’s lair, Rich races across light years in an attempt to save the life of his ex-fiancée, only to find that he is ensnared in a much larger, much deadlier conflict, the outcome of which will decide the fate of galaxies. To win, Rich must weigh the lives of a select few versus the lives of billions, and face a foe so skillful and ruthless that it will take all of his cunning and ability, and a little bit of luck, to truly earn the salute, ALL HAIL THE EMPEROR!

As war splits the galaxy, the Emperor toils in the vaults beneath the Imperial Palace. But his great work is in peril, and the forces of Chaos are closing in… While Horus’ rebellion burns across the galaxy, a very different kind of war rages beneath the Imperial Palace. The ‘Ten Thousand’ Custodian Guard, along with the Sisters of Silence and the Mechanicum forces of Fabricator General Kane, fight to control the nexus points of the ancient eldar webway that lie closest to Terra, infested by daemonic entities after Magnus the Red’s intrusion. But with traitor legionaries and corrupted Battle Titans now counted among the forces of Chaos, the noose around the Throneworld is tightening, and none but the Emperor Himself can hope to prevail.

Great new novel from Aaron Dembski-Bowden chronicling the story of the Emperor's Spears, a Space Marine Chapter on the edge of destruction, last watchmen over the Elara's Veil nebula. Now, the decisions of one man, Amadeus Kaias Incarius of the Mentor Legion, will determine the Chapter's fate… The scattered worlds of the Elara's Veil nebula were once protected by the oath of unity sworn by three mighty Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes. The Star Scorpions were undone by flaws in their genetic coding. The Celestial Lions were ravaged by the Inquisition for sins they did not commit. Now, after hundreds of years, only the Emperor's Spears still keep their vigil. They are barbarian watchmen against the Outer Dark; bloodied but unbroken in their long duty. Amadeus Kaias Incarius, a brother of the Mentor Legion, is commanded to cross the Great Rift and assess the Spears' war-readiness, only to be drawn into the chaotic plight of a depleted crusade on the Imperium's benighted frontier. The decisions he makes, far from the God-Emperor's light, will decide the fate of the war-torn Chapter.

"The road to the Necroworld was built from stones forged on human kindness." In Trapped on Draconica, Emperor Erik Gothon III was a seemingly unstoppable tyrant - sending out his armies across Draconica in the hope to save his wife from a disease that no medicine could cure. The truth, however, was far darker than anyone could imagine. Before all that, however - Erik Gothon was an idealistic, if somewhat naive young man that sought to save the Baalarian Empire from the hell that his father had made it. However, his good intentions will eventually destroy those around him - even that of the woman he loves. Set years before the events of Trapped on Draconica, All Hail Emperor Gothon is a dark tale of one man's descent into madness - and the genesis of Trapped on Draconica's most complex and tortured character.
