Set many thousand years outside of what we think of as the future, the world of Warhammer 40,000 sees humanity on its knees in a hopeless battle against evil forces and a multitude of alien races. The antithesis of other popular science fiction franchises, this Grimdark vision gives readers one of the grandest settings even conceived and a huge sandbox for story telling.In Kingsblade, we find an Imperial force shattered and two surviving Imperial Knight pilots together if they and their planet are going to survive the an incursion by the Word Bearers Chaos Space Marines. Fighting on a scale unknown to some fans, the Imperial Knights offer a whole new way of looking at warfare in the 41st millennium. A world of noble houses, knights and high kings awaits and is reminiscent of more classical medieval fantasy, but with a Grimdark futuristic twist. One of many books set in the 41st millennium, this novel is great for fans of the game, video games or avid readers in general. Equal parts Science fiction and fantasy, there is a very good reason that Warhammer 40,000 has been steadily gaining popularity with young and old since 1987.
