About this book

Soul Drinker opens Ben Counter's Black Library series in 2002, introducing the Soul Drinkers Space Marine chapter -- created for the novels themselves rather than drawn from established tabletop lore -- under the psychically mutated Chapter Master Sarpedon. Their prizing of art and culture as proof of the humanity they defend draws Imperial suspicion that erupts, across this opening volume, into the chapter's fall from grace. It runs 288 pages.

The chapter, led by the psychically mutated, multi-limbed Chapter Master Sarpedon, prizes art and culture as proof of the humanity it exists to defend -- an indulgence the wider Imperium regards with deep suspicion. When that suspicion hardens…
