The first novel in Dan Abnett's famous Gaunt's Ghosts series reveals new facets of the grandiose Warhammer 40,000 universe! For the first time in Russian! In his youth, Ibram Gaunt was predicted that one day the fate of the Imperium would depend on him. Years later, Commissar Colonel Gaunt, who led the First Tanit Regiment, which gathered all those who survived the destruction of the planet Tanit, began to notice that the prediction seemed to be beginning to come true. Having gone with his Ghosts - this is the nickname Gaunt's guards received - to a planet struck by the forces of Chaos in the worlds of Sabbat, the colonel-commissar was faced with betrayal that was brewing in the highest echelons of power, with a mutant inquisitor who had lost his human appearance, and at the cost of the lives of many of his Ghosts he prevented catastrophe. In this battle, the military brotherhood of Commissar Colonel Ibram Gaunt and his Ghosts, the guardsmen of the First Tanith Regiment, strengthened. The First and Only.
