The Founding: Dan Abnett

Warhammer 40,000. This volume contains Books I-III of Gaunt's Ghosts -First And Only; Ghostmaker; Necropolis; In Remembrance. In the blood-soaked Sabbat Worlds Crusade, the massed ranks of the Imperium battle the dark forces of Chaos. At the forefront of the conflict are the Imperial Guard - untold numbers of ordinary soldiers fighting to preserve the emperor's Holy Realm. Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt and the men of the Tanith First-And-Only are at the heart of this struggle. Forced to flee their planet before it was destroyed by Chaos, their specialist scouting role has earned them the nickname the 'Ghosts', along with any dangerous mission their commanders may throw at them. Now Gaunt must evade the treacherous scheming of rival regiments and the lethal firepower of the enemy if he is to win through and lead his Ghosts to victory. Cover art by Clint Langley.
