Has anyone else read this book? If so, was it just me or did it seem like Belisarius Cawl turning on the null array fuck everything up? The crippled Kasrkin seemed like he really *was *blessed and destined to put a bayonet into the heart of the despoiler but the null field shut out the Emperor's power as well as Chaos. There was all this build up and then he just died like any other trooper.

Even if he had killed Abaddon, the corrupted fortress child would probably still have found a way to plunge the blackstone fortress into the planet, just out of grief instead of spite.

Thoughts?

Damn I wish poal had like a notification thing for when subs get a new post. Totally missed this.

I haven't read the fall of Cadia stuff yet but know of the events. E.g. Blackstone fortress being chucked into Cadia and making the big rift.

Seems a bit strange though for a guardsman to be able to even get close enough to stab Abaddon though.

Very keen to get up to modern lore. I'm just finishing the beast arises.

He had a whole story arc in the book. He had to get special permission to even be considered for front line combat and the general that signed his waiver told him "after all this trouble you better put a bayonet into the heart of the despoiler himself."

He eventually killed several heretic astartes and was part of Creed's personal protection detachment at the end so he was in the control room where the big melee took place.

Maybe it was supposed to be a misdirection, but with all the other literal miracles taking place during the battle, I don't think it's too far of a stretch to say he was destined for great things.

Sounds pretty cool. I'm not a huge fan of the guardsmen just being cannon fodder, but even in death they serve.

Is that its own stand alone book/series or part of the Gathering Storm campaign books?

Yeah I like stories about baseline humans way more than space marines.

This is from The Fall of Cadia by Robert Rath.
