Black Library: Treacheries of the Space Marines

A Warhammer 40,000 anthology

Even among the superhuman warriors of the Adeptus Astartes, there are those who turn their backs on their brothers. This collection of short stories from the 41st millennium tells tales of some of these traitors and renegades.

READ IT BECAUSE
There's an undeniable lure to the traitor, the renegade and the heretic (everyone loves a bad guy) and this anthology runs the gamut from the twisted psychopaths of the Night Lords to the, er twisted psychopaths of the Red Corsairs. Okay, there are a lot of twisted psychopaths here – and that's part of the fun.

DESCRIPTION
The Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes are the defenders of mankind, the ultimate superhuman brotherhood standing against the evils of the galaxy. But even among their hallowed ranks, there are those who would turn their backs on their brothers and follow the path of the traitor. Gathered within these pages, you will find tales from the dark side of the Imperium - remember, that which can defend, can also betray...

Condition Ratings:

As New
This pretty much covers it: the book looks new, and it’s probably never been read so there are no signs of wear at all. It doesn’t open easily and prefers to stay in a closed condition.
Fine
This describes the books that may have been opened or read but quite carefully so that there’s no trace left. There’s no defect or damage detectable, with both the jacket and the pages being in great condition.
Very Good
Books with small signs of wear but no tears on either binding or pages are usually conditioned as Very Good. This condition allows slight flaws such as fading or staining but not too much. A book having Very Good as a description should still look really good.
Good
This term covers any average used book that has been fairly worn but still has all pages present and a relatively good jacket. If it’s rated as Good, it’s probably been read many times, so you can’t expect it to be impeccable.
Fair
When you see a book rated as Fair, be prepared to get a worn book that has been read and opened a lot. It has all the text pages but may lack some other pages, such as endpapers, etc. It’s probably slightly damaged, with both the binding and dust jacket bearing signs of wear.
