Reviews

[Gianfranco Mancini · Rating 3 out of 5]

A Deathwatch kill-team trapped inside a Necron tomb, fighting against time and hordes of "living-dead-terminators". Too short, it seems the final chapter of a longer tale, no twists at all, but still a nice read for a 1000 words e-short.

[Dylan Murphy · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sort of sequel to Gav Thorpe's Deathwatch audio drama "Mission: Purge", here we get to see Captain Artemis' Deathwatch squad take on a Necron Tomb World. The story was extremely fast paced, action tearing off every page(there were only 3!). I would have liked this to be a longer release, as I think this Deathwatch team could easily fill out a novella very nicely.
