Black Library - Death Rider (PRE-ORDER FOR 02/28/2026)

Enter the brutal front lines of the 41st Millennium with Death Rider, a Warhammer 40,000 novel by Rhuairidh James from Black Library. This gripping story follows Commissar Valian Hesh as he faces an impossible command decision amid the relentless determination of the Death Korps of Krieg.

Unlike most Commissars, Hesh is not driving his troops forward at any cost. Instead, he is attempting to prevent a catastrophic assault by the Krieg 472nd Siege Regiment against entrenched T’au Empire forces. The world itself is doomed, marked for destruction by an Imperial battleship, and as toxic smoke and poison saturate the battlefield, survival hinges on a tactical withdrawal. For a regiment renowned for unflinching sacrifice, restraint may be the greatest challenge of all.

Death Rider explores the uncompromising mindset of the Death Korps of Krieg, the harsh realities of Imperial warfare, and the burden carried by those tasked with enforcing discipline in the face of annihilation. It is a compelling addition for readers invested in Astra Militarum lore and character driven Warhammer 40,000 fiction.
