THE STORY
The infamous Black Ships ferry imprisoned psykers to Terra from across the Imperium, to feed the astronomican. When one Black Ship drifts too close to the edge of a hive fleet's warp-shadow, it finds itself stranded in realspace and under alien assault. With the situation dire, a dangerous imprisoned psyker offers to help their Inquisitorial captors – but dare they release the witch? And if so, will they willingly go back under lock and key?

This one could have been a four star. Good atmosphere, intriguing plot. But I gotta go with three in the end because I feel like the twist came too much out of nowhere in a way that wasn't very satisfying. I read this story in two sittings separated by most of a week, and when I finished it I found myself having to go back and inspect the characters closely to look for anything that would flesh them out in a way that might make the ending more satisfying. I couldn't find it.
