This one is a short story (and I mean short, less than 10 pages in Kindle format) that can be found either on its own as an eBook on Amazon or at the Black Library, or as a part of a VERY recommendable anthology, also in eBook format, again at the Black Library, for the reasons I commented on in the previous entry on this blog, After Desh'ea.
That it's written by Aaron Dembski-Bowden is almost like it has a seal of guarantee, and even if it's so short a tale, it is worth reading. On Isstvan III, Angron gets to fight the last of those Eaters of Worlds still loyal to the Emperor, all the while reflecting on the one thing, the only one thing worth fighting for.
And that's it. But it's worth reading because precisely of that one thing this story asserts. Angron and the Eaters of Worlds fight for their own cause and on their own terms, they're not pawns to anyone but are perfectly aware that they want and will to do what they do.
Now I'm onto Butcher's Nails, the final short story in the aforementioned anthology, and a nice one too. I'll talk about it in the next entry, very, very soon.
