Strike from shadow. Choose the place and time of battle. Seize victory by any means necessary. Raptors: War and Shadow (Hardback) (Anglais) is a 304-page Warhammer 40,000 novel by William Crowe, exploring the calculated and unorthodox tactics of the Raptors Chapter of Space Marines.

Tasked with destroying a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan, Raptors Lieutenant Chandrel Voise has led his demi-company to the isolated world of Jaskar. With no reinforcements coming and no hope of resupply, Voise knows that every bolt round fired and every battle-brother’s life expended must bring him closer to victory.

In the face of the infinitely adaptable horrors of a tyranid vanguard swarm, the Raptors’ tactics will be tested to the very limit. Voise must make a terrible choice: save the world, or save the warriors under his command. The Raptors approach war like no other Chapter, pragmatic, uncompromising and utterly unconcerned with ambitions of honour and glory.

William Crowe offers a fascinating look at a Chapter that values cunning over bravado. Ambushes, feints and carefully chosen battlegrounds replace heroic charges, giving the book a unique tactical flavour. It is a must-read for Space Marine collectors and for anyone who enjoys stories of survival against the relentless Great Devourer.

Cut off from any support, the demi-company must make every shot count and every decision matter. The tension builds as supplies dwindle and the swarm adapts to each new trick. Voise’s dilemma, between duty to the world he was sent to protect and loyalty to his brothers, gives the story a powerful emotional core. Readers who enjoy clever military fiction will find here one of the most original Space Marine novels in recent years.
