'Fully six metres high, the creature stood on four splayed, spider-like legs of scything blades that cut the air with a deadly grace. The bio-machine's head was a pulped mass of horribly disfigured flesh. Its vicious gash of a slobbering mouth was filled with hundreds of serrated, chisel-like teeth and its skin was a grotesque, oily texture - the colour of rotten meat.

The Deathwing are the secretive inner circle of the most vigilant and zealous of the Emperor's warriors, the Dark Angels. They alone bear the truth of the hidden shame that taints them and each one of their fellows, and their ancient disgrace is just one in a galaxy of mysteries.
'Deathwing' is a gripping collection of the darkest science fiction stories set in the stark and brutal universe of Warhammer 40,000, stretching from the exploits of the lethal agents of the Officio Assassinorum to the babbling of incarcerated lunatics, their minds broken by the insanity of Chaos.
