Yarrick: The Omnibus

Time after time, Commissar Sebastian Yarrick has fearlessly led Imperial forces to victory beneath black banners of vengeance, even when defeat seemed inevitable.

This gripping omnibus contains all of author David Annandale’s stories about the famed commissar, and includes two novels – Imperial Creed and The Pyres of Armageddon – along with the novella Chains of Golgotha and six short stories, each revealing the bloody battles that helped shape a legend.

Chaos cults, the fanatical Adepta Sororitas and clandestine inquisitors all stan between Yarrick and his mission. Here is where the legend began.
