An band of elite Chaos Space Marines from the Alpha Legion undertake a deadly stealth mission to infiltrate a heavily defended Imperial world.

Upon the oceanic hive world of Tsadrekha, the darkness of the Noctis Aeterna is held at bay by the golden light of a unique beacon. Yet as sharks are drawn to blood, so the ravening warbands of the Heretic Astartes circle the planet, warring to claim this rich prize for their Dark Gods. Now, one of those warlords has deployed a secret weapon to end the deadlock. Kassar and his elite band of Alpha Legionnaires, the Unsung, must infiltrate the planet, using all their cunning and warrior skill to overcome the planet's defenders and corrupt the beacon. They need to work fast, for none other than Khârn the Betrayer himself has come to lead the final assault. As a rising tide of apocalyptic warfare consumes Tsadrekha, Kassar and his brothers must race for the prize or be consumed by the fury of the storm.

Andy Clark is the author of the Imperial Knights novel Kingsblade, the Deathwatch short story ‘Whiteout’ (collected in Deathwatch: The Omnibus), and the Warhammer Quest tie-in novella Labyrinth of the Lost. Andy works as a background writer for Games Workshop, crafting the worlds of both Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000. He lives in Nottingham, UK.

Warhammer 40K as a video game packaged into paperback form.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 6, 2019

Andy Clark writes a Warhammer 40K yarn like a video game more than other authors I have read but that's not necessarily a grave knock on his novel. He's amazingly economical with his action scenes and he packs them in end to end. The latter 2/3 of Shroud of Night describes a massive planetary invasion and Clark indulges in a little bit of everything: daemons, cultists, berserkers, angels and of course plenty of Space Marines. The entire cast is as one-note as you would expect from something like this and there's not much in the way of levity to balance out the grimdark. But again, would you have it any other way? A perfectly brisk vacation read or one to cozy up to in winter when Netflix just isn't doing it for you.

Very good read about the last few surviving members of an Alpha legion warband, who must carry out an infiltration mission for an Emperor’s Children warlord. The only problem is that this world is already under attack by hordes of Khorne berserkers, which complicates matters somewhat. The book gives a good insight into how the Alpha Legion operates and their leader’s struggle to keep his warband true to his Primarch’s legacy and avoid the corruption of Chaos as best he can. There’s also a cameo from Kharn. If this review has helped you, then please hit the helpful button. Thanks

Its setting and fight scenes are brilliant, pulling no punches with violence or showing off ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 21, 2017

The second novel set in the current 40k timeline. After the events of Gathering Storm and the return of Guilliman. Shroud of Night focuses on a squad of Alpha Legion marines cut off from the rest of the galaxy and stranded on a world that's basically a giant fighting pit. Found and recovered they tasked by a Chaos Lord to deliver a package to the surface of an imperial held world besieged by three chaos armies, the Harrow must complete the mission to earn their freedom. That's the simple non spoilery version of the story at least. Shroud of Night is a brutal, well paced 40k novel with intriguing characters whose only loyalty to each other, or themselves, not the Gods or the Imperium. Its setting and fight scenes are brilliant, pulling no punches with violence or showing off the skill these warriors possess. Worth a read.

A decent addition to the evolving timeline

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 20, 2017

I wasn't sure about this book at first. The first 25% was very exposition heavy and although it got better as the story developed it carried on throughout to a greater or lesser degree. However this should not put you off reading this as its a really good story and really adds to the sense that all is really not well in the dark side of the Imperium.
