Space Marine Battles: Overfiend

Overfiend is a compilation of three intertwining novellas by David Annandale.

Stormseer: The green-skinned hordes of the Overfiend of the Octavius system have long been a thorn in the Imperium’s side – and now, with human worlds caught in the crossfire between the orks and eldar, that thorn will be removed. Temur Khan and his brotherhood descend upon Lepidus Prime to cleanse it of the green taint. The swift and brutal hammer to the Imperial Guard’s anvil, the White Scars strike hard and fast – but when the orks reveal a super-weapon, it may take more than just power to win the day?

Shadow Captain: On Lepidus Prime, the beleaguered Space Marines have an unlikely ally – the eldar of Craftworld Saim-Hann. With these ancient enemies of mankind engaging the ork invaders, Shadow Captain Krevaan of the Raven Guard sees a chance to strike back against the greenskins. Forging a fragile alliance with the eldar, Krevaan prepares to stop the orks before they can despoil the vital city of Reclamation. But the Raven Guard, no strangers to hidden agendas, suspect a sinister motive to the eldar actions…

Forge Master: As the war against the orks of the Octavius system grinds on, the Fifth Company of the Salamanders are assigned a dangerous – and critical – mission: to kill the Overfiend himself. But as they prepare to annihilate the beast’s ship, they discover a startling secret: that a valuable – and dangerous – alien prisoner aboard the ork warship may be the key to ending the conflict.
