Led by the fearsome Captain Mortensen, the Redemption Corps is a regiment of ultra-tough storm troopers sent to the deadliest warzones on missions of mercy and destruction. But when Mortensen comes to the attention of the deadly sorority of the Battle Sisters, he not only has an ork invasion to contend with but these fearsome warrioress-fanatics too. Caught between the xenos and the fury of the Imperium, can the Redemption Corps fulfil their mission and survive into the bargain?

About the Author
Rob Sanders is a freelance writer, who spends his nights creating dark visions for regular visitors to the 41st millennium to relive in the privacy of their own nightmares. By contrast, as Head of English at a local secondary school, he spends his days beating (not literally) the same creativity out of the next generation in order to cripple any chance of future competition. He lives off the beaten track in the small city of Lincoln, UK. His first fiction was published in Inferno! magazine.

It's hard sometimes to be a 40K fan, not only due to the stigma of being a sci-fi junky but because the Black Library can be pretty unpredictable. Just look at the Horus Heresy, you know what i'm talking about. But then along comes a book and a writer that reminds you why you love the 41st Millenium and its incredible universe, giving you that fix of grim and dark in spades. The Redemption Corps is one such underlit example. Nothing in this story is nice, cuddly or even damn near kind enough to let you stop for breath. Rob Sanders has tapped into the heart of 40K and delivered what I honestly think to be one of the best representations of the genre. His entire style is dirty and realistic, with Mortensen emerging as the epitome of his world. Brutal, effective and wholly unforgiving no wonder the Sisters of Battle come to pursue him, he's as unrelenting as a Saint. So if you want to storm your way through some excellent fiction sporting mutinys, planetary rebellions and terrible xenos give Redemption Corps your time. It's so realistic you'll come away smeared in the guts of the far future, and you'll love it.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Redemption Corps is led by the legendary Major Zane Mortensen. They are a regiment of storm-troopers that never stop until the mission is completed or they are all dead.
Diamanta Santhonax, Canoness Regular of the Order of the Immaculate Flame, has Cadet-Commissar Koulick Krieg transferred to the Redemption Corps. In addition to his duties to Regimental Commissar Udeskee, Krieg is to make regular reports on the actions and behavior of Mortensen to Santhonax. The deadly sorority of Battle Sisters believe Mortensen and his troop to be the equivalent of a heretic cult.
Mortensen and Krieg go head-to-head as they embark on seemingly suicidal missions. It soon becomes apparent that they must deal with an ork invasion. However, these greenskins are a breed apart, intelligent and organized.
**** FOUR STARS! Each chapter begins with a few pages, written in italic font, featuring scenes with the Battle Sisters. These sections mostly foreshadow what is to come when the major and the canoness finally clash. Some of the scenes show past interactions between the canoness and Krieg. A terrific story that kept me riveted until the end, even if it did shine the Battle Sisters in a bad light. ****

Ok i wasnt expecting much as i read the first 100 pages as you get to grips with the characters and who the redemption corp are. In my opinion the first 100 pages are a overly long way of bringing the commissar into the story.You see the corp is made up of men who can complete impossible missions. They are led by a captain (mortensen) who is hard as nails and due to his battered and bruised body he cant feel pain. He is fiercely defended by his men and this has led some to believe that he is almost revered to the point of worship. Worship dictates a false god and that means heresy. The battle sisters send an undercover agent in the guise of a commissar to keep an eye on things.
As a planet seems to implode from within and the crews of the god titans need to be rescued a ork invasion unravels and the corp need to pull togeather to get the job done. This book has a cool story. Throughout the main story it seems to jump to the corp being interrogated by the sisters untill it seems to catch up with itself at the end of the book. Persevere with this dear reader as it first becomes slightly confussing and opens more questions than answers but later it all comes togeather in a rich explosion of imperial goodness. I could not put this book down from page 120 onwards...it had me by the short and curly s. More of this please black library. Recommended as a stand alone book....recommended if you like 40 k....just buy it.
