When a Rogue Trader encounters an ancient horror, it seems like Space Marines may be her salvation… but the Carcharodons may be more dangerous than the enemy. READ IT BECAUSE It's another tale of the sinister Carcharodons from the author of 'Red Tithe', and it brings the grey-armoured killers up against an interesting foe. THE STORY On a deserted jungle moon, Rogue Trader Anjelika Trayn and her expedition unearth a legion of deathless horrors. The arrival of a squad of Space Marines seems like salvation, but the strange grey-clad killers may yet prove more deadly for Trayn than the ancient civilisation she has awoken.
