Ergebnis für "Angels" in Space Opera

Die Horus-Häresie hat begonnen und die Galaxis befindet sich im Krieg. Nach den Auseinandersetzungen auf Isstvan IIII flieht ein einzelnes Schiff nach Terra, um die Kunde des Verrats zum Imperator zu bringen – wenn es die Reise überlebt. Während Horus seine Verbündeten um sich schart, fällt die edle Legion der Emperor's Children an das Chaos, als ihr Primarch, Fulgrim, dazu verführt wird, eine Tat zu vollbringen, die so abstoßend ist, dass sie seine Seele für immer beflecken wird.

Die Galaxis steht in Flammen. Das Chaos erhebt sich zwischen den Sternen. Der Große Riss hat die Gebiete des Imperiums gespalten und ganze Sektoren vom Licht des Heiligen Terra abgeschnitten. Doch nicht alle Hoffnung ist verloren. Der Primarch Roboute Guilliman ist aus seinem todlosen Schlaf erwacht und hat Commander Dante, den Herrn der Blood Angels, als Regenten und Wächter des neu bezeichneten Imperium Nihilus eingesetzt. Im Baal-System wird die zerstörte Festung des Ordens wiederaufgebaut, und Dante plant den größten Feldzug seines langen Lebens, um ein halbes Imperium zurückzuerobern.

In the darkness of Imperium Nihilus, across half a million worlds cut off from the dim light of Holy Terra, a beacon is lit. The Red Angel returns to an unsteady galaxy and his scattered sons heed the call to slaughter. Aboard the World Eaters’ flagship, Kossolax the Foresworn, self-appointed lord regent of the XII, fights to keep the old dreams of the Legion alive, but finds the return of his hated father both an opportunity and a threat to the warriors’ fragile unity.

Packed with slaughter and swordplay, these audio dramas, written by Black Library authors including Gav Thorpe, James Swallow, Ben Counter and more, offer fresh insight into two of the Imperium's most beloved fighting forces.

No matter the foe, regardless of the odds, the proud warriors of the Dark Angels stubbornly refuse to accept defeat. Descendants of the First Legion, they stand foremost amongst the Chapters of the Space Marines, mankind’s mightiest defenders. None fight with more grim determination than the Dark Angels, and their renowned special companies - the Deathwing and the Ravenwing - are held in awe by allies and enemies alike. Yet behind their devotion to the Imperium lies a dark obsession.

Sanguinius is the Great Angel, most beloved of all the primarchs, his mighty exploits celebrated throughout the entire Imperium as the Crusade expands into the void. And yet the origins of his Legion are shrouded in mystery and rumour, his unique physical form is an enigma, and his perilous home world remains off-limits to all but his own secretive people. When a discredited remembrancer arrives with the expeditionary fleets to chronicle the primarch’s deeds, he has to work hard to uncover the truth behind the legends.

The galaxy is in flames. Chaos is in the ascendant across the stars. The Great Rift has split the holdings of the Imperium in twain, isolating entire sectors from the light of Holy Terra. But all hope is not lost. The Primarch Roboute Guilliman has returned from deathless sleep and appointed Commander Dante, lord of the Blood Angels, as Regent and Warden of the newly dubbed Imperium Nihilus. In the Baal system, the shattered holding of the Chapter is being rebuilt, and Dante plans the greatest campaign of his long life, to retake half an empire.

Aliens ripped a hole above Earth, arriving with a massive space station. I sorta figured we'd be enslaved to fight in their wars or exterminated for our resources. Nope. The hip-high Iglax were merchants with ugly squished faces and thick blue fur. While they weren't much to look at, they sure did have some wonderous technology. Humanity bent over backwards to appease our new merchant overlords. The boorish aliens wanted cheap labor for precious metals, and honestly, I didn't blame anyone for their hunger to be among the stars.

Orphans of deep space... They're outlaws now. Created to serve a function grown obsolete, haunted by the holographic ghost of their father, Ubu and Maria have lived their entire lives skating along the edge of extinction. Now they and their ship, Runaway, are in flight both from the law and from a predatory clan of competitors. They're going to come back rich or not at all. But what they find in the depths of space isn't wealth, but a secret so startling that Ubu and Maria will need every last reserve of guile, cunning, and intelligence just to survive.

Born of illegal genetic engineering, Angel is not quite human. She's never known her place in the universe. Stolen by the Gran, a fierce race of warrior Cats, she survived enslavement as a concubine. Beloved by the Prince, he mated her, removed her slave collar and declared her Princess of the Empire of the Gran - despite her love for the pirate Cesar. Now Angel is thrust into the center of galactic war and forced to choose sides between humanity and her surrogate family of Cats.

Abducted across the galaxy by aliens, collared and forced to serve as concubine, escape is not possible. My only hope lies with Cesar, my pirate lover. But can he buy me out of slavery if the Cats won't sell? Cesar did his best to negotiate my sale, to buy me out of service as concubine to Captain Cronin of the Gran. The Captain refuses to bargain. Once more, I'm forced across the galaxy, to the opulent palace of the Emperor, kneeling to serve the sexual demands of an alien Cat.

Abducted and enslaved as a concubine to alien Cats, I'm trapped on a jumpship racing across the galaxy. I am faster, smarter, stronger. I am Angel 6.0, engineered to perfect the human genome. I might be the savior of the human race if I can escape the Gran. Born of illegal genetic experiments to perfect the human race, I've been taken for a ride across the galaxy, enslaved to the warlike race of Cats called the Gran. They think I'm some kind of upgrade, a new slave stock to be bred.

My name is Angel, and I've been abducted and stolen across the galaxy by the Gran, a fierce race of alien cats. The captain of the Gran knows my secrets - I'm the product of illegal genome experiments to perfect the human race. He exploits my special qualities when I serve as his concubine.

I am faster, smarter, stronger. I am Angel 6.0, engineered to perfect the human genome. I might be the savior of the human race...if I can escape the Gran, ferocious alien cats who want to breed me for slave stock.

Now a celebrated war hero, Captain Kat Falcone is back at the helm of HMS Lightning...and up against near-impossible odds. After an ill-timed outburst almost ends her career, Kat is handed command of a deep-strike mission into enemy space. The objective is to gather intelligence and distract the hostile Theocracy while the Commonwealth prepares its counteroffensive. The chances for success are slim - and for survival even slimmer.

Professor Rachel Jordan dared to defy 3000 years of angelic doctrine, teaching that the ancient angels were never the saviors they claimed to be.

Bridget Toussaint, the teenage survivor of the destruction of the peon base by Jenna Plural, has really tried to settle into her new life in the fleet of the country’s enemy.

When the newly renamed flagship of the fleet, The Spirit of Freedom, is boarded and its crew captured by the enemy she once called her countrymen, Bridgette finds herself in a race against time and insurmountable odds.

The Sefer Raziel led Rachel Jordan astray. Instead of answering all her questions, it posed infinitely more. Now at the helm of an ancient starship more advanced than anything humans can build, she’s at the center of an intergalactic controversy. Her government wants the ship. If Rachel were to hand it over, she’d be acclaimed as a hero.

The awakened angels took no time in reasserting themselves as the dominant species in the universe. As galactic powers vie for control of the angels’ battleship, the angels show them how inferior human technology is. As Rachel Jordan looks on helplessly, furious angels take out their wrath on the sinful human empires that sprang up in their absence. The only ones spared the angel’s judgment? The Redeemers.
