Deathwatch: Ignition #10

by Mark Clapham

Brother-Codicier Jensus Natorian of the Blood Ravens has served the Deathwatch for many years, bringing his psychic talents to bear against the hated xenos on countless battlefields. However, when his original Chapter request aid in combating a genestealer infestation within the space hulk Endless Despair, he is compelled to answer this new call to duty in person. Will an unexpected reunion with his old mentor, Librarian Captain Lanneus, on board the hulk herald the beginning of greater cooperation between the Chapters, or something much darker?

The tenth title in Black Library’s Deathwatch short story series, Mark Clapham’s The Known Unknown introduces not just the first Librarian to the series but also the first Marine from a non-First Founding chapter in the shape of Jensus Natorian of the Blood Ravens. Joining a mission to cleanse a space hulk of genestealers, he finds the lone survivor of a doomed Blood Ravens force and is reunited with his old mentor from the chapter. As the Deathwatch’s investigation continues and the horrific nature of their enemy is slowly revealed, Natorian sees his loyalty to the Deathwatch come into conflict with the purpose of his chapter.
