Summary
The second volume,
containing books five to eight, in the epic The Beast Arises series, as the
Imperium struggles to survive against the growing galactic threat of the
orks.
The Imperium's situation
has never been more grim - an ork attack moon hangs over Terra, and ork armadas

discovered the orks' point of origin, the Space Marines gather their forces for
a massive assault on their enemy's home world. But what the Imperial forces need
is a figurehead, a hero from legend to lead them - a primarch. Can one these
figures from legend be found, let alone persuaded to aid them?"}"
