Servants of the Machine God

A brand-new anthology of stories featuring the enigmatic Adeptus Mechanicus, cybernetic servants of the Imperium who venerate technology above all else. It is the 41st millennium and humanity teeters on the brink of destruction. Yet out of the darkness comes a cold hope. The Adeptus Mechanicus are logical, remote beings of cybernetic construction. Their armour is a work of mechanical art, their weapons unparalleled in intelligent design. One of the most hostile fighting forces of the Imperium, the Priesthood of Mars serves justice upon their enemies with forbidding momentum. Though nominally allied with mankind, it is in the name of the Omnissiah that their mighty war machines step forth into the cauldron of war, for the Machine God alone is worthy of their sacrifice and neither man nor xenos can deter them from their single purpose of championing his dominion. This anthology contains a dozen gripping tales about the formidable Titans, Imperial Knights, battle-servitors and skitarii legions with which the Adeptus Mechanicus wage war, all written by some of Black Library's most popular authors, including Graham McNeill, Gav Thorpe, Josh Reynolds, Rob Sanders, David Guymer, David Annandale and Andy Clark. * The Adeptus Mechanicus are a fascinating part of the Warhammer 40,000 setting, technology-worshipping cyborgs often at odds with the wider Imperium yet vital to its survival. * The twelve stories in this anthology are all available in paperback for the first time, and explore every aspect of the Mechanicus at war, from their radiation-soaked skitarii soldiers to the mighty god-machines known as Titans. * Along with tales from such Black Library stalwarts as Graham McNeill, David Annandale and Gav Thorpe, this anthology also includes two stories by Andy Clark that tie into his Imperial Knights series of novels. * Previous book to focus on the Adeptus Mechanicus: Adeptus Mechanicus (US ISBN.9781784961848 / UK ISBN.9781784961831)
