Synopsis Expand/Collapse Synopsis The tenth installment of Bernard Cornwell’s New York Times bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, “like Game of Thrones, but real” (The Observer, London)—the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit television series. Britain is in a state of uneasy peace. Northumbria’s Viking ruler, Sigtryggr, and Mercia’s Saxon Queen Aethelflaed have agreed a truce. And so England’s greatest warrior, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, at last has the chance to take back the home his traitorous uncle stole from him so many years ago—and which his scheming cousin still occupies. But fate is inexorable, and the enemies Uhtred has made and the oaths he has sworn conspire to distract him from his dream of recapturing his home. New enemies enter into the fight for England’s kingdoms: the redoubtable Constantin of Scotland seizes an opportunity for conquest and leads his armies south. Britain’s precarious peace threatens to turn into a war of annihilation. Yet Uhtred is determined that nothing—neither the new adversaries nor the old foes who combine against him—will keep him from his birthright. “Historical novels stand or fall on detail, and Mr. Cornwell writes as if he has been to ninth-century Wessex and back.” —Wall Street Journal

A hero will be forged from this broken land. As seen on Netflix and BBC around the world. From the day it was stolen from me I had dreamed of recapturing Bebbanburg. The great fort was built on a rock that was almost an island, it was massive, it could only be approached on land by a single narrow track – and it was mine. Britain is in a state of uneasy peace. Northumbria’s Viking ruler, Sigtryggr, and Mercia’s Saxon Queen Aethelflaed have agreed a truce. And so England’s greatest warrior, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, at last has the chance to take back the home his traitorous uncle stole from him so many years ago – and which his scheming cousin still occupies. But fate is inexorable and the enemies Uhtred has made and the oaths he has sworn combine to distract him from his dream of recapturing Bebbanburg. New enemies enter into the fight for England’s kingdoms: the redoubtable Constantin of Scotland seizes an opportunity for conquest and leads his armies south. Britain’s precarious peace threatens to turn into a war of annihilation. But Uhtred is determined that nothing, neither the new enemies nor the old foes who combine against him, will keep him from his birthright. He is the Lord of Bebbanburg, but he will need all the skills he has learned in a lifetime of war to make his dream come true.

Anomaly Protocol, Patrol 8 Red-orange dust swirled around the slowly lowering access ramp. It thumped onto the dry cracked ground and Ranger Patrol 8 emerged from the darkened belly of the gigantic Tor. They set off to search for replacement components - things that were always inevitably breaking down and failing. Alpha Daktov gave a few curt commands in a mix of binharic cant and low gothic, distorted over the vox by static and interference. With a prayer to the Omnissiah, the small group marched out into the wilderness and they soon disappeared from sight in the dust clouds. Daktov - Para-Skitarii Ranger Alpha Daktov was a Strategic Chorister - Infobanks of oracular and tactico-predictive engrams allowed him to constantly exload optimal instructions to his comrades. Tybar - Para-Skitarii Ranger Tybar was never still, glorying in the perpetual motive force of the Omnissiah. He often impetuously rushed ahead of the battleline as a result. Kasra - Para-Skitarii Ranger With his noospheric intake corrupted by years of tireless service, Kasra developed biological glitches, tics and twitches he could not control. Decima - Para-Skitarii Ranger Sniper Decima was Meticulously Observant - the slightest weakness in the enemy’s armour was laid bare to his augmetic perceptions. Chulho - Para-Skitarii Ranger Chulho was blessed with Binharic Piety - he was given to strident pronunciations in binharic cant whenever he acted in anger. +++ As I have mentioned before, our next sortee into the red wastes or Tor Megiddo will be using Open Play style Kill Team rules, with warbands chosen to a total of 50 points and no faction-specific Stratagems. So this little group is going to include the profiles of both Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii and Genestealer Cult Neophytes to represent the mismatched selection of weapons and equipment.
