My next audiobook is The Fall of Cadia by Robert Rath. I have some small history with W40k, and I've always been a guardsman at heart. In a world of eldritch terrors, greenskin waaaaaghs, demi gods, and world machines, I love the plight of the everyday soldier.

I have chosen my next read. It's time to go back to war with The Blood Scouts book 2, Drown Deep by Phil Williams.
I am both looking forward to joining up with Wild Wish and the gang again, and also dreading what they'll go through this time.
